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.

[[I suspect this may be an attempt to hurt the American economy by restarting the fake pandemic panic. ]]
The chinese are now claiming to have discovered a ‘new cornovirus’ that has ‘infected 79 people in a large food market’ blaming it on ‘European Salmon’

It MAY be the European salmon but everyone on the PLANET knows that the salmon arrived in perfect condition BUT the Chinese didn't store it correctly and the salmon spoiled.

The Chinese government lies!

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?

Since they ALWAYS lie, it doesn't matter when.
They simply REFUSE to tell the truth if it will cause them to LOSE FACE.

It is 96-98 here in Houston, and they say there are more cases. I don’t believe it at all!

105F and rising in PHoenix, and yes, there are people who want to shut things down again before the hospitals get overrun.

Won't work.

I really hope Trump doesn’t fall for this again! He was completely rattled the first time. Almost every presser he held, he had a deer in the headlights look in his eyes. Im not fully convinced he wont justify a second closure. COVID-19 has some strange control over our POTUS...or at least it did.

They are always lying. Lying then. Lying now. Kind of like democrats.

The Democrat leadership DOES lie. It's a tradition since Sleaze Clinton and his wife.
Hillary won't get over her loss. She TRULY believed that it was HER TURN to be POTUS.

I wish she would run again! I could use the laughs.

The Chicoms would do this just to create an air of panic around the world, and particularly the USA.

We are seeing leftist media hype this. They are touting more cases without correlation to more testing. They are crying about hospitals filling up without correlation to those who delayed critical procedures and are now desperate to get treated (imagine holding off to get kidney stones treated!) They refuse to correlate the two above with more demand for testing for entry into the hospitals.

And finally they ignore that people who obeyed stay at home orders still tested positive months later without any further exposure.

We've never seen anything like this so widely reported.

I have begun to believe, 100% this was a weaponize virus.

F* the chicoms to hell!

And it’ll “magically” show up in every state where a Trump rally is planned.

Five, four, three.........

I think they are just trying to create a narrative on which our democrat mayors and governors here can fire up the lockdown until the election.

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

That was protected previously and is no longer the case. Thus the freakout.

No comments from Trump about this yet. He better address this crap, and assure Americans we ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A SECOND LOCKDOWN!

America is recovering and chinaland isn’t. If you’re Winnie the Xi, how do you take down the USA? Tell them that you have a pandemic. The chineesis coolies are a dime a dozen, so you can afford to lock them up inside for a month or two under the pretext of a scamdemic, and the mockingbird media, leftists, and karens, many of the latter of which frequent this site, will gladly step up to serve as useful idiots to the cause.

Back on May 21 at the Ford plant, Trump made it clear that we are not closing down the country again.

said, "They never finished with the first one"

exactly right. Beijing never had the pandemic hit the city until now. It has been one of those head scratchers that never made sense.

He needs to say this often! Relatively speaking, May 21st was eons ago! People have had their lives ruined by the first shutdown; if our POTUS isn’t out proactively reminding Americans that we WILL NOT BE SHUTTING DOWN A SECOND TIME, fear and anxiety of a 2nd destructive shutdown will push some folks over the edge!

He freaking Tweets about everything else, he needs to hit this hard!

I’ve heard the opposite. The flu thrives in NY during the winter time.

Amazing how China’s case & death confirmations dropped to zero. /s

BI being sympathetic to the Left is more than happy to propagate the misinformation.

Viruses aren’t living, living host cells perform the life functions for them. It’d not temperatures that render a virus harmless so much as it is Ultraviolet and other ionizing radiation that do that,
