The Chinese province of Hebei announced it was shifting to “wartime mode” against an outbreak of the Wuhan coronavirus and locked down travel between its capital Shijiazhuang and the nearby city of Beijing on Wednesday.

“Hebei reported 20 new confirmed COVID-19 [Chinese coronavirus] cases and 43 asymptomatic cases on Tuesday, making it the place with the most daily newly added cases in China. Among all the cases, 19 confirmed ones and 41 asymptomatic ones are from Shijiazhuang,” China’s state-run Global Times reported. Shijiazhuang has a population of about 11 million.

The emergency restrictions imposed on Shijiazhuang included “controls on highways passing through Hebei leading to Beijing and other provinces, stopping sales of railway tickets to Beijing, suspending classes in schools, implementing closed-off managements in residential communities in provincial capital Shijiazhuang, and taking sweeping nucleic acid tests.”

They've been partying like it's 1984 since last summer in Wuhan.

So I guess the bad orangeman, who is bad, is to blame too?

[Gene Eric]

Pretending to look responsible.

Note how the vast majority are unmasked. If they have herd immunity, great. If not, the piper might come calling. They do have one thing in their favor - few look seriously overweight..

China like democrats lie!

[sanjuanbob]

The globalist buy in nations are all on the same page with the fear porn. Most on this board know what’s going on. Giant worldwide indoctrination camp.

What a convenient way to close the capital.
Too bad Nanzi and Chuckie didn’t think of that.
I imagine they will in the future...

:) If you’re going to bob around in a pool of water with hundreds of other people masks would be a bit of a silly irrelevancy.

But they’re only reporting a “surge” of cases (20) in Beijing. No mention of Wuhan. FWIW

It’s not just a pool of water. It’s presumably highly chlorinated, which would kill the virus within a nanosecond of contact. Heck - even the fumes wafting off the water’s surface might kill the virus. Come to think of it, the likelihood of transmission there is likely nugatory. Restaurants and enclosed sporting venues would probably be a bigger risk.
