China on Saturday finished building a 1,500-room hospital for COVID-19 patients to fight a surge in infections the government said are harder to contain and that it blamed on infected people or goods from abroad.

The hospital is one of six with a total of 6,500 rooms being built in Nangong, south of Beijing in Hebei province, the official Xinhua News Agency said.

China had largely contained the coronavirus that first was detected in the central city of Wuhan in late 2019 but has suffered a surge of cases since December.

Those “instant hospitals” from last winter were already shown to be propaganda shams.

While I do believe Covid is a serious virus, I think almost all of the crap coming out of China was propaganda to shut us down. I was very much taken by the videos of “frightened” bloggers showing us “the real horror” of Covid.

People walking along and dropping dead, etc. Now, hopefully, I think I'm a bit wiser.

“China had largely contained the coronavirus that first was detected in the central city of Wuhan in late 2019”

The tens of thousands of urns delivered to Wuhan crematoriums last Spring indicates otherwise. The AP isn’t interested in the truth.

Covid does indeed seem to be a mild bioweapon, as some have said from the start, made more dangerous by the coordinated withholding of simple known prophylactics and cures, exaggerated and propagandized to ridulous levels and sadly oversized effect—while the next levels of bioweapons are starting to be concocted and injected globally.

The fascist, techno-totalitarianism effectively ushered in as a result just all part of the same package and plan.

...has suffered a surge of cases since December.

Maybe it was from that big Hew Years eve celebration they had in Wuhan. When is the Chinese New Year anyways?

What day did they allow WHO back in?
And why do they bother with this particular lie?

They simultaneously assure the world they don’t enslave workers - AND claim hospitals are being built in days?
Mmmkay ...

No they quickly built a structure and called it a hospital. There’s a difference

If it’s like most Chinese construction, if the covid doesn’t get you, the building will.
