Conditions in the Chinese coronavirus origin city of Wuhan have so deteriorated that even official TV news is reporting empty streets, residents hoarding food, and citywide lockdown measures.
China is currently experiencing a surge in coronavirus cases nationwide. Beijing reported its first confirmed cases since January in late July, identifying two positive cases in a couple known to have traveled to a virus hot spot. China has long faced suspicion of reporting low case numbers to minimize the severity of its outbreaks. Government action, however, betrays a more dire situation as the government has since cut off almost all transportation into and out of the national capital in an effort to limit the spread of the virus.

After bemoaning that Wuhan shut down over just seven detected cases of the Chinese coronavirus, the Times asserted that the city was not “making a mountain out of [a] molehill” by responding drastically. The city swiftly canceled offline education and cut tourist capacities at major destinations in half. The outlet further noted that the local health authorities were overwhelmed following the announcement as residents and tourists flooded local facilities to see if they had come in contact with confirmed cases.
The city implemented compulsory testing on Monday for a population of 11 million. Health officials consequentially identified another nine cases on Wednesday, per the Times, which they attributed to the Delta variant of the coronavirus, originating in India. The city announced it Wednesday has reserved 31,300 isolation rooms and another 9,000 for the next three days. It also announced the lockdown of 56 neighborhoods and 11 construction sites linked to the outbreak.
dead in america – 600,000
dead in uk – 150,000
dead in china – 4,500 (but they’re lying, of course)
whichever way you spin it, they’ve done infinitely better than the “great” “free” countries full of “better” people.
Will the last comrade out please hit the lites before welding the door.
Compulsory testing for covid19 will guarantee a spike in the infected case. It only make sense if you want to provoke fear amongst your citizen.
The Chinese strike me as a very compliant people. The few oriental people I see are all with the mask wearing.
Even allowing for reported higher IQs on average than westerners, they kowtow to the system. Despite this high functional intelligence they lack that rebel creative streak that makes for paradigm breaking science or engineering. IMHO they epitomise George Bernard’s Shaw’s “reasonable man”:
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
