[LisaL]

Or, something like that.

18. Let's also not forget that Xi Jianping is a fucking idiot.

Zero COVID was a bad idea, and not administering the western vaccines made things even worse.

6. Someone needs to change their vaccines!

This is rediculous.

[subterranean]

10. How many Chinese passengers were on the flight?

Were there two Chinese passengers? Two hundred? That would be pertinent information, I think, but the article doesn't say.

[Hope22]

11. It says nearly half of the passengers on the flights.....n/t

27. One would think

[Srkdqltr]

13. So... What happened then?

[Fla Dem]

14. So what did Italy do?

I read the very short article and it didn't say what Italy did with the passengers who tested positive. Did they refuse them admission to Italy and send them back to China, or did they quarantine them in Italy for a week? Hopefully they didn't admit them and let them infect everyone in Italy. Of course, they probably infected the other half of the passengers who will come down with the virus after they disembarked and will infect many. Terrible journalism. Only half the story.

Nearly half of the passengers on two recent flights from China to Milan tested positive for COVID-19, Italian health officials said on Wednesday.

About 38 percent of passengers on one flight into Milan’s Malpensa Airport tested positive for COVID-19, as did about 52 percent of those on a second flight, according to local officials in Italy’s Lombardy region.

Italy will begin testing all new arrivals from China and sequencing the tests for new variants amid China’s surge in COVID-19 cases, Italy’s health minister said on Wednesday.

“The measure is essential to ensure surveillance and detection of possible variants of the virus in order to protect the Italian population,” Italian Health Minister Orazio Schillaci said.

Several other countries, including Japan, India, South Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia, have already instituted similar requirements, with U.S. officials considering following suit, according to CBS News.
