Beijing, China, shuttered in-person classes for all schools on Tuesday, bracing for a new wave of the coronavirus. The closure goes into effect Wednesday.

The capital hub of 20 million people had gone more than 50 consecutive days without a new recorded case of COVID-19, the disease caused by the new virus. But last weekend, city officials reported a cluster of 87 new cases, the Financial Times reported, 46 of which were asymptomatic. That cluster emerged in Xinfadi, the largest produce and seafood market in the city.

Xinfadi was closed over the weekend, as were several residential buildings on the west side of Beijing. More than 100 people have gone into a 14-day quarantine.

You can’t blame POTUS for reacting the way he did.

The panDemic or Dempanic, was a perfect political weapon - he had no choice but to react the way he did.

People are going to believe the “doctors” and the “scientists”, and no politician in his right mind will question their expertise in a matter such as this.

But they made a big mistake - they gave President Trump time to recover before the election, and they only get one bite at the apple.

A second wave won’t sell the way the first one did. The so-called “scientists” and “doctors” ruined their credibility and exposed themselves as political hacks and bureaucrats.

Nothing turned out as they predicted. Nothing.

Now President Trump can point to their failures and encourage people to rely on their own best judgment and their best and only real defense - their natural immune system - as they have for millions of years.

And what about the naked hypocrisy on display in recent weeks?

Praising BLM and Antifa for their mass protests and riots, where social distancing and COVID19 concerns were completely ignored?

Isn’t it obvious to anyone with a brain that the Covid19 scare and economic shutdown were nothing but political opportunism? The hypocrisy is t lost on anyone.

There are millions of people who are angry as hell about this whole thing, and that anger is NOT directed at President Trump.

Why would the ChiComs close schools with the ChiCom flu is not deadly against those ages 0-24.

The biggest lie from the shelter and cower thugs was/is, “We need to close our schools and colleges to protect our precious kids.”

That age group was never in danger from this virus and still are not.

Check the blue line in the chart below. 0 to 24 years of age.

“I seem to remember for the longest time that China reported no cases outside of the Wuhan area. Were they lying then or are they lying now?”

You have to look at what they do, not what they say. Their mouth is lying, or their actions are lying. I believe the actions. They have a very bad situation right now. I have almost no sympathy

I am in the Houston area and one of my friends just came down with it (he's a cop). He's not doing good at all. I don't care if you believe it or not. It's real. So - you are basically saying that Abbott is lying to us - and Dan Patrick is going along with it and lying about the cases.

SMH at the denial.

YES, this is the continuing of the first wave, since Wuhan was locked down to spare Beijing et al, except the International Airport to infect US, and since they still have no herd immunity like any area that was locked-down, the sick stragglers are slowly spreading to ALL of China.

“People missing the point, it’s the nation’s capital, the home of the Communist Party.”

I think the point may be to put down a coup brewing in the capital city.

The humidity causes it to fall out of the air much faster. If covid was even real to begin with.

“The commies are after Trump.”

From the very beginning of Trump’s candidacy the commies (USA) and then later the Chicoms and North Koreans were attempting to use everything from Wuhan virus to media lying propaganda to purposely creating national turmoil based on ethnicity. There is an ethnic component to all of this that is targeted too that may not be as obvious. That makes it racist.

I believe the Wuhan virus is real and that it was created to stop the Hong Kong demonstrations and to harm the west and Trump. I don’t believe in coincidences that lead to outcomes that powerful interests desire. But then I never believed that 20 cave dwellers in Afghanistan created a still highly classified 9-11 that led to an Iraq War that other powerful interests like John Bolton wanted.

Wet markets had nothing to do with this COVID out break. That is/was a cover story issued by the ChiComs. I thought we were over this....
