I'm as racist as the next guy about Chinese so-called literature; it's terrible. Complete and utter shit from 1500 BC to the present. Not a sausage.
Curiously though there is one solitary chipolata.
A half decent short story writer called Shen Congwen who iirc wrote nice lyrical tales of nothing much really; working the boats up and down the massive grey river from Wuhan into Chongqing and Sichuan, the porters and river-workers' dormitories and brothels, the pangs of being away from a home you never have. He caught the fun that can be had even in the dirty fogs and sweaty crowded cities. It's a spirited city, and Shen showed that to me at least in a nice restrained way.

edit: ok ok ok there's Li Bo and all that jazz. I might review later.

That thing's thicker than my thigh.

Bump for justice, glory and great honour.

Holding out a good thought for you and yours Globb0 in these very difficult times. Pretty sure we all are. Hope you can find some strength here.

Hope anyone would guess that my own way of coping with all sorts of trials - gleefully sharing memes and jokes - does not equate to gladness that the trials beset one.

Not sure what the board by activity percentage is supposed to mean.

it's the number your post in a board divided by number of all posts in a board.
so if I have 1000 posts in meta and there are 100000 meta posts in total, it'll show as 0.1%.

72-73% out of 378 novel coronavirus patients had NO exposure to either wet markets or anyone else displaying symptoms.

Unless the data is wrong, this confirms large-scale asymptomatic transmission is practically guaranteed.
