The financial hub of 26 million people has become a testing ground for Chinas 'zero-COVID' policy

China's financial hub of Shanghai says it will lock down the city in two stages to carry out COVID-19 testing over a nine-day period, after it reported a new daily record for asymptomatic infections.

Authorities said on Sunday they would divide Shanghai into two for the exercise, using the Huangpu River that passes through the city as a guide. Districts to the east of the river, and some to its west, will be locked down and tested between March 28 and April 1. The remaining areas will be locked down and tested between April 1 and 5....

Depends on what the goal is, probably. “Zero emissions” will never happen, either. But that isn’t really the goal.

Right on time to promote fear and panic to produce another mail-in election.

What if there is an Omnicron variant outbreak among the troops of the now deployed 82nd? Weren’t USN ships brought back to port for similar reasons? What if the Russians actually inject themselves with omicron, would NATO troops flee or just go total hazmat?

I think they will have a mutiny on their hands if they TRY to lock us down or mask us again, or economy is SO BAD right now it would be suicide for them, HOWEVER I honestly believe they are destroying the country deliberately so they COULD TRY!!!

Bingo. Day one he closes our pipeline that biden said towards the end of his campaign that he would not do. Later he approves russia pipeline. He is letting gas prices go up. Then the war in ukraine. It gives biden a excuse and someone to blame his intentional failing economy on. He is funding ukraine and until called out was buying 70 million a day in oil from Russia. Funding there side. He is using our money to pay for a cover. He is causing gas and food prices to go up. He has the virus to blame it on. Then they are hiding the vaccine truth. He is bought off and owes Russia and china.. He is wanting russia to destroy proof in ukraine of his family and other politicians taking money. We have been paying them “aide” money for years and they are getting paid from it. We find out there is bio labs funded by hunter and others. And what do we do. Force a 1.5 trillion dollar package so we could give them 15 billion dollars in aid. If we and NATO is giving them all the food and water they need and we are giving them all the guns and ammo they need then why do we need to give them 15 billion dollars now..

Seems excessive for 'show', considering the dramatically-lower seriousness of Omicron vs. Alpha, begging the question:

What do the Chinese fear?

Had supper with my sister last night. My brother in law was going to China several times a year before COVID. Asker her about him going back and she shared that the company in China told him that everyone at the office must past four successful COVID tests over a span of two weeks before going home. That includes Americans.

Asymptomatic infections? Locking down for ASYMPTOMATIC infections??

Couldn’t we all have asymptomatic infections our entire lives????? There would have to be SOME kind of symptom to not be called “perfect health,” right??
