Coronavirus: next three days ‘crucial’ to contain Beijing market outbreak
The South China Morning Post ^ | June 16, 2020 | by Zhuang Pinghui

The next three days will be crucial in controlling the latest outbreak of Covid-19, according to China’s top epidemiologist, as the country reported 32 more cases related to the Beijing market cluster.

The capital reported 27 new cases on Monday, while four infections in Hebei province and one in Sichuan were also traced to the sprawling Xinfadi food wholesale market, believed to be the source of the latest outbreak which has so far affected 106 people. There are also two suspected cases and a further 10 who have tested positive but have yet to show any symptoms.

Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist with the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, said Beijing had caught the outbreak at the earliest possible time, and the case count through to Thursday would be crucial in determining the progress of the epidemic.

“The measures in Beijing are timely and effective. Those who are infected might show symptoms in the coming two days. If the number of reported cases does not increase much, it can be said the epidemic has basically stabilised at such a scale,” he told state broadcaster CCTV on Monday night.

All the cases pointed to the Xinfadi market as the single source, meaning it had not caused widespread transmission. There had also been no family clusters or cross-infections among patients and hospital visitors, as had occurred in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, Wu said.

“This suggests that Beijing caught the epidemic at the earliest possible time and accurately identified the Xinfadi market, which prevented further spread of the outbreak,” Wu said.

So the first wave didn’t work, the riots didn’t work, so now we are going into the second wave of the virus. It’s become too obvious that these are the actions of the Globalist Network, except too many people are too aware of what is being foisted through the enemedia.

supposedly a “new” virus, so not second wave but a brand new first wave

Well of course. Fauci’s Folly didn’t work the first time, so we have to cook up some new panic.

maybe I’m mistaken. I saw an article that said it was a new virus, but this article seems to be talking of existing virus new flare-up.

“By any means necessary” to keep the sheeple from figuring out how manipulated and lied to they have been. It’s getting pretty hard to keep the uninformed from buying the BS on a daily basis. The Internet has allowed information to be set free without deep state babysitters filtering the message.

You’re not mistaken. “New” means it’s just a new distraction technique.

The source of this news makes it on par with the Onion. The only believable part is that there is another outbreak in Beijing.

This variation of the virus is 100% guaranteed to keep leftist protesters, rioters and looters immune while infecting everyone else!

So, which bio-weapon lab is THIS market next to?

Good question.

I remember reading about a SARS lab (level 3 pathogens) in Beijing that had lost stuff before.

"Couldn’t happen to a better country IMO."

Except Red China is the dim party on steroids. They will let no crisis pass without using it to their advantage.

The outbreak probably started a while ago & they figure it is beyond containment now.
