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.

The summer off school year thing is very American/ western. The rest of the world is oriented to year round school with short breaks, maybe a 6 week break for flip around.

This new virus may be a blessing in disguise if it dethrones the Communist Party in china.

WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!
Geez we’re haven’t even been Italy yet!

Go sky scream somewhere else..
Millions die every day.
It amazes me the lengths some will go to live in fear & panic.
Just stay inside so you’ll be safe. The rest of us choose to live our lives.

Original R0 equated to a herd immunity at around 70%. With plenty of precautions, we could potentially get the R0 down to where herd immunity is closer to 50%. With a miracle or two, maybe 30%.

There are 330 million Americans. If 30% eventually become infected (99 million) and 0.5% - 1% die, that’s 495,000 - 990,000. At 50% herd (165 million infected), 0.5% is 825,000 and 1% is 1.65 million.

0.5% infection fatality rate is no joke. That’s a lot of dead Americans.

Those aren’t my words, they’re President Trump’s. (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-vaccine-development/)

So go ahead, laugh at our President. Me? I’m thankful we have a serious man in the White House taking on a serious challenge. He’s pushing hard for a vaccine because he knows that’s how we end this whole thing and get back to normal.

Neither I, nor the President, have any desire to just stay inside. But there’s a lot of space between locking everyone indoors and pretending this whole thing doesn’t exist.

Ok Chad.
Be safe. Trump is not right all the time. He too believed WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!! He too believed TWO MILLION DEAD!! Remember that? I do.
Do every single thing the CDC & who tell you to do. Do not disobey them.
Only they know what’s best. Stay inside.
We’ll go on without you.

“I have begun to believe, 100% this was a weaponized virus”

Chinese Wuhan Corona Bio-weapon Virus.

IMO this was an act of war upon the USA.

I've thought that from the very beginning

And the way they lied so they could export it around the world but NOT to their own country.

I hope the halt of flights from China to here stays in effect.

I think only flights with Americans returning home are allowed.

The Chinese chest cold is less dangerous than the regular flu. It is NOT the Spanish Flu. Far from it.

Most people who get the virus are asymptomatic. Many more only exhibit light symptoms.

The elderly and people with underlying medical conditions are the most vulnerable. As they are with the regular flu and other viruses. So, what’s the difference?

This is clearly another attempt by China, the Globalists and the Demonrats (But I repeat myself) to enforce another lockdown and to force the sheeple to wear masks.

Sorry, I won’t comply.

In Brazil, a large hospital reported they had 1000’s of cases of Wuhan Virus.

Members of parliament broke through the door and saw ABSOLUTELY NO ppl infected.

In fact, the inside did not look at all like a hospital, a real mess and the ppl that came in read the riot act to the personnel.

I forgot to add that it will be a cold day in Hell before I agree to be vaccinated.

“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.”

That's what all this has been about for months.

Keep it all going until the election and then if the dems win, the virus will be miraculously gone.

When Trump wins, the ‘virus’ will get much worse. As reported by the complicit media of course.

35% are asymptomatic. 35% is not “most people”.

It’s killed more people in 3 months (118,000) than the flu does in 3 years (37,000 per year x 3 = 111,000). (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html)

You can pretend it’s nothing all you like. Our President knows better. And you can decide whether to take the vaccine or not. Thankfully, most will take a safe and effective vaccine that the President has helped push through quickly by removing red tape, so we’ll get rid of this virus without you.

Well they did not send infected ppl from Wuhan to Bejing or any other part of China, just to the rest of the world.

Italy was easy because there are thousands of Chinese ppl working there.

Always going back and forth.

Note: China bought many companies in Italy, and left them there so products could still say Made in Italy.

Oh they know.

That’s why they are so successful in creating virus style Bio-weapons.

This new virus may be a blessing in disguise if it dethrones the Communist Party in china.

The Chinese government has its people by the "short hairs." It always has.
The Red Army is ALWAYS available to slash and burn and kill anyone who doesn't fit in the government's plans.They'll control the people to stay in power. THAT is what it's all about. Always has been; always will be.
I learned in sociology that the FOUR things that humans vie for are
1. Money
2. Power
3. Fame
4. Status

As Lincoln said: Human behavior can be modified to some extent but human nature won't change.
Sigh. The NEXT yearly virus will be LABELED as the worst of the worst. We hear that EVERY friggin' year.
The Chinese don't HAVE to produce these horrific viruses every year. It's in THEIR power NOT to. It's all about CLEANLINESS. Yes, it DOES cost but the COST of all those deaths rates high with US. It doesn't with them. The Chinese don't have a high priority on life. Never did...except for RICH MALES. The rest of the world can ROT for how much they care.

Remember, they tossed their baby girls down the wells.
THEN, with amniocentesis they aborted so many female fetuses that the poor Chinese men could find no wife. Those poor men were OFFICIALLY called the BARE BRANCHES.

THEN the government had the ONE-BABY program. So, baby girls were tossed out in the garbage/aborted again.
Then they tried the TWO-BABY program. I have NO idea how that's working out for them.

Remember: the Chinese (not American-born Chinese) believe in TWO things: LUCK and MONEY. That's it!

***One thing about India--all babies are welcome. That's a fact.
