They are more concerned about public health and, unlike the Americans, seem to be able to learn from experience. And importantly the Chinese president tells way fewer lies than the American president.

No. I see the Chinese just fired a rock across the Pacific into a British Columbian bedroom. Joking on bits of that one.

Things not going well in San Francisco. Hopefully this problem won't surface elsewhere.
For Giggle:
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/13/us/w ... l-surfacesA security guard and a television reporter were recording him, but the thief was undeterred, raiding a Walgreens store in San Francisco on a bicycle, a garbage bag in hand filled with stolen merchandise.
Millions watched a video of the brazen shoplifting in June, which critics said illustrated the epidemic of store thefts that had bedeviled retailers across the city. It was at least the fifth time that the man, who was later arrested on a raft of burglary and theft charges, had targeted that particular Walgreens store, on Gough Street in the Hayes Valley neighborhood, the authorities said.
Now, four months later, Walgreens says it will close that store and four others in San Francisco next month, citing what it described as a continuing problem of “organized” shoplifting in the city.

acceptance of criminality with few consequences. Seems like those cities that have got light on crime are suffering the worst. This is a far cry from the old "broken window" concept of policing that pounded down crime in NYC decades ago.

Re: President Biden Wants Answers
San Francisco politicians, in their Leftist wisdom, decided to decriminalize shoplifting up to a certain amount. Any amount less than $950 is pretty much ignored by the law. So now, rather than confront these Hefty bag toting thieves, they just ignore them. But now, businesses are leaving San Francisco because of it.

The First Step Act was passed by Congress and only applies to federal prisoners who broke federal laws. It re-evaluates federal prisoners, their crimes and their sentences.Shoplifting has essentially been decriminalized, and retailers that apprehend thieves can be sued. The result: Another Walgreens store in San Francisco, the seventh this year, is closing after its shelves were cleared by looters. “All of us knew it was coming,” longtime customer Sebastian Luke told the San Francisco Chronicle.
https://www.bop.gov/inmates/fsa/(Public Law 115-39) passed on December 18, 2018. It requires the Attorney General (AG) to develop a risk and needs assessment system for BOP to assess the recidivism risk and criminogenic needs of all federal prisoners and to place prisoners in recidivism reducing programs and productive activities to address their needs and reduce this risk.

Re: President Biden Wants Answers
Meanwhile, getting back on topic, the WHO is still trying to get answers:
WHO launches a new group to study the origins of the coronavirus
The World Health Organization has announced the establishment of a scientific advisory group aimed at identifying the origin of COVID-19 and to better prepare for future outbreaks of other deadly pathogens.
The WHO's Scientific Advisory Group for the Origins on Novel Pathogens, or SAGO, will include scientists from the U.S., China and about two dozen other countries. It will be charged with answering the question of how the novel coronavirus first infected humans — a mystery that continues to elude experts more than 18 months into the crisis. The group will also be responsible for establishing a framework to combat future pandemics.........

Re: President Biden Wants Answers
hah!! a large committee at WHO investigating this? That portends a consensus answer which will be thoroughly watered down to keep Chinese culpability for the problem out of sight and mind..

Yes.
The WHO should be renamed The CCP Ministry of Health and Propaganda.
