Shanghai and Beijing went back on fresh COVID-19 alert on Thursday after parts of China's largest economic hub imposed new lockdown restriction and the city announced a round of mass testing for millions of residents.

The most populous district in the Chinese capital, meanwhile, announced the shutdown of entertainment venues, while news of the lockdown of Shanghai's Minhang district, home to more than 2 million people, pulled down Chinese stocks.

Several local-level authorities in Shanghai, which is home to 25 million people, have also issued notices saying residents will be subject to two days of confinement and another 12 days of rigorous testing starting Thursday.

Many of the notices were in the central Xuhui district, where green fences and red wooden boards have sprung up in the past week, barricading residents in and triggering fresh public anger.

BBC was pushing this yesterday. results could be interpreted rather differently, I would have thought:

6 June: MedicalXpress: Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation during COVID-19: Study shows using a face mask works
by The European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC)
New research being presented at the annual meeting of the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC) in Milan, Italy (4–6 June), shows it is practical to learn how to do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while wearing a face mask to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission...

Trained observers evaluated each rescue breath. More than 90% of the breaths into the mouth of each manikin were judged effective, meaning they led to the manikin’s chest rising...

And China is going to rule the world? The CCP leaders are some of the most hysterical Karens on the planet!

While in lockdown the citizens should knit millions of pink pussy hats for their leaders and send them all at once when it’s over.

“Covid Zero” is DELUSIONAL.

The Chicoms are certifiably mentally ill.

Nobody does MTM anymore. Chest compressions only are just as effective.

I was a first responder EMS provider during the height of the “AIDS crisis”.

Never wore a mask.

Never wore gloves.

Cracked many a rib (not mine!)

And I’m telling the tale.

Points to more of a bureaucratic snafu. They’re taking a bigger hit.

The urban Chinese are indoors all day. Making their vitamin D levels pathetic. This makes them more susceptible to Covid.xyz.

What is more urban than living in Shanghai? And Shenzhen.

Don’t be too simple.
Unlike our half of the world they have iron determination.

Yes, they have iron determination but they’re constantly scared s#@tless.

For example, I posted that for them. They do monitor this site and probably all sites in the U.S. for anti-ChiCom rhetoric.

How do I know that? Do you recall the incident under Bush when one of their planes hit one of our planes? I had ZoneAlarm then which pinged every time someone or something tried to access my computer through a closed port.

I made some inflammatory comment about retaliating, pure tongue in cheek, and instead of a ping every hour or so coming from some university computer lab I started getting 10+ pings per minute all coming from mainland China and Hong Kong.

Pretty freaking neurotic to worry about what some anonymous guy in CO is saying. They’re cowards.

I was a first responder EMS provider during the height of the “AIDS crisis”.

We showed up for an Asian guy who was having difficulty breathing. He was having difficulty communicating with us. He kept motioning for me to come closer to his face because he didn't want everyone to know what his problem was. He coughed out, “T, cough, B” right in my face. No goggles, no gloves, no face mask, nothing even though we had been warned about an antibiotic resistant form that was circulating among Asian immigrants just off the boat in our community. I had to fill out an exposure form and face the wrath of our EMS educator. Thankfully my stupidity didn't result in my getting TB.

That’s funny. Tesla in Shanghai is fully open now and back to full production.

The stupid things that I have gotten myself in the middle of and somehow managed to live through give me the same admiration for God and the belief that there must be something still left for me to do.

Don't forget due to one child policy, they're a bunch of snowflakes.

True. That had to be a major detrimental influence on their society.

Can't imagine them having an ability to project force such as invading Taiwan. The Russians are having similiar problems with their demographics but they are a bunch of alcoholics so they'll just drink their vodka.
