GUANGZHOU: A neighbourhood in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou has been locked down as officials rush to quell an uptick in cases in the area.

Home to nearly 15 million people, the industrial hub north of Hong Kong has reported 20 new cases of COVID-19 in the past week.

A notice by the Guangzhou municipal health bureau issued on Saturday (May 29) identified five streets in Liwan district in the city centre as "high-risk areas" and ordered residents to stay indoors until door-to-door testing is completed.

Markets, schools and entertainment venues in the area were shut.

The city government has rushed to conduct mass testing, and about 700,000 people had been tested by Wednesday.

The mini-outbreak in Guangzhou is believed to be linked to a 75-year-old woman who tested positive for the virus variant first identified in India, local health officials said.

Isn’t referring to it as the ‘India Variant’ racist? It’s so hard to keep up.

Welders in communist China will make out like bandits, welding the doors shut on those who are found to have the CCP-Coronavirus. Deaths from the ‘rona? Four or five. Deaths from being sealed in your condo/apartment/house without food and eventually air? Thousands.

True-dope will follow their lead in Kanadahar. ‘Justin’ Kenney will grumble a lot, but will follow suit. He’ll then praise Albertans who perish, sealed in their houses, for ‘making the ultimate sacrifice’ for fellow Albertans.

A pox on both their houses!

I don’t know what Kenny can do. I think he’s kept a relatively light touch, especially compared to Horrible Horgan.

Yet I see all these party videos in China of people dancing in the streets with no masks.

The CCP needs to incubate some more "COVID 19" to prepare for the next salvo of covid sorties.

the Commander In Creepiness, Joe Biden will be sure to keep the borders open for them

I’ve spent a fair amount of time in the Liwan District - it isn’t exactly a model of cleanliness to begin with.

“When we are thoroughly sick and tired of the muzzle theater and have, as a people, pretty much resolved we won’t be tricked again, that is the time for China to unleash a very deadly virus that has initially mild symptoms after a long infectious period, followed by the the deadly phase.

The powers that be have cried wolf to an imaginary wolf loudly enough and long enough that when we stop listening, the real wolf can easily spread far and wide unimpeded.

Expect China to be a black hole of data. Their vaccinated population will ride out the storm largely unaffected, and they will then have a greater Lebensraum, a whole largely unpopulated planet all their own...”

Does it come with a side order of the black, yellow, or white fungus?
