Province in China Prepares Thousands of Hospital Beds Amid New Wave of Infections
The Epoch Times ^ | April 11, 2020 | Eva Fu

A province in northern China is preparing thousands of hospital beds in anticipation of a surge of CCP virus patients—days after lockdown measures were relaxed in epicenter Wuhan, according to internal documents viewed by The Epoch Times.

Heilongjiang, China’s northernmost province, locked down its border city of Suifenhe on April 7, which officials said was an attempt to stem the flow of imported cases from Russia.

From March 27 to April 9, the city reported more than 100 imported cases, as well as 148 asymptomatic patients—those infected who do not show any symptoms of the disease—that were imported cases. Only three new domestic infections were reported during that period.

Residents in Heilongjiang, however, have expressed doubt about these official figures, saying authorities were likely trying to downplay the severity of this new wave of infections by focusing on imported cases.

Suifenhe is currently building a 600-bed makeshift hospital dedicated to asymptomatic patients, while its 70,000 residents are now under lockdown. Only one person out of each household can venture out for necessities once every three days.

A neighborhood officer, in a message on Chinese super-app WeChat seen by The Epoch Times, emphasized to residents of a complex in Suifenhe the gravity of the situation.

They have been lying from the beginning, and are lying now.

Their bogusly low numbers have increased from in the 30s per day of new cases to 99 today.

Henan province has been locked down for days.

Not a new wave. My guess is that China is overwhelmed with cases none of which are reported. They’re killing their people. The way if all communists

“...Suifenhe is currently building a 600-bed makeshift hospital dedicated to asymptomatic patients...”
*******************************************
If they are asymptomatIc (but presumably testing positive) why the hell would they have to be hospitalized? Or is that simply a way to isolate them?

Wuhan is open now. Enough people have had the disease and recovered thus they have “herd immunity.”

Before Wuhan was locked down citizens of Wuhan traveled throughout China and the world. This disease is still burning in China. It will continue to do so until the whole nation has herd immunity.

The death rate from this virus is about 0.66 percent when one factors in all the cases that do not need treatment.

For herd immunity one needs about 50% of the community to have been infected and recovered. China could have 5 million deaths before this is over.

So now the Commie Chinese government are trying to blame the Russians? The CCP has successfully turned the world against them with their predatory trade, grabbing islands, prison camps, disease, and now blaming others for their own evil mistakes.

The lights might be on...but nobody is home.

Because “makeshift hospital” sounds so much better than concentration camp.
