There was blood and other bodily fluids in Gatorade bottles labeled in Mandarin, samples of at least 20 potentially infectious agents including malaria, dengue fever, and COVID-19 — and a pungent odor from what turned out to be nearly 1,000 mice.

    The thing that really irritated me was the bit about “ooh, they’re using equipment from China, that proves it!” I mean, no shit? Find me a lab, an office, a home, anything manmade in the US that doesn’t have something made in China in it :/

      Even in doctors offices. I had researched and bought pulse oximeters a few years ago (mainly on ali express).

      You start to see the same designs with different branding as they’re made by only a very few companies in China.

      Since then I can recognize the same ones in use at every doctor appointment I’ve been at.

      But the cameras are from Hikvision, a CHINESE company!

      Yeah, Hikvision makes equipment at a lower price point than similar systems, so they sell a lot, to everyone. Any low-budget operation with security cameras is probably using Hikvision.
