NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Shubham Chandra knows how dangerous the coronavirus can be: He lost his dad during the pandemic. So when he cleared customs at Newark Liberty International Airport and saw people offering anonymous COVID-19 testing, he was happy to volunteer.

“It’s a minimum amount of effort to help a lot of people,” said the 27-year-old New York City man, who had just stepped off a plane from Cancun, Mexico.

The airport testing is part of the government’s early warning system for detecting new variants, which began expanding recently in the wake of a COVID-19 surge in China.

Time to increase forced testing of 90-year-old Minnesotan nuns, sixth-generation Wisconsin dairymen, and N. Dakota "legacy" farm owners, while letting Chinamen from Wuhan sashay straight through "Immigrations" with nary a "Gesundheit!" when they sneeze.

- Anything to avoid the despicable label of "ra-acist!"

I’d bet any Chinese or Asians (or anybody else) coming through the border, are not being tested.

It’s all a farce.

Covid cases will soon drop in China.

they are being hit with a weaker variant, which is spreading rapidly - but they will also achieve herd immunity very quickly.

Did China give our puppet emperor permission to do this for theatrical purposes? Just asking.

We paid for their lab and taught them how to build it. Sounds strongly like treason to me. They will be releasing another virus soon.

China is cooking up new variants and looking to spread them because their economy is crashing and they want the idiots in the west to panic like they did last time.

The testing is likely to monitor for new variants since China China s not forthcoming with info. I’m sure Chinese coming in are safer that what’s coming across the southern border.

“but they will also achieve herd immunity very quickly.”

Natural immunity is a right wing conspiracy theory-—But only since 2020.

Alas for all our "official" data collection and reporting sources. None are tallying anything more than a "blip" on the Covid Deaths radar. Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center site still shows a meager "17,336" deaths over these last three years.

The oh-so-trustworthy Worldometer shows even less. And IMHE at the U of Washington isn't even tallying and forecasting anymore. What's up with that? For years now during this media "event," we've been told to trust our sources. Our official sources. Now? Bupkus.

Trust them, they said. Now, don't. Because the media is a weather vane, and the winds have changed. Or something.

Lock down! That's the answer, ha! Because China isn't now, and see what's happening? Or not. I suspect this is the next gambit, stuffed with pictures and videos. Dropping dead on the streets! Lock down! Because the last lock downs across the West have done so well.

Small point about JHU. Their stats show the US with its 4 percent of the population accounts for 16 percent of the Covid deaths. Four times the global death rate.... What's up with that? Trust the CDC? FDA? Protocols? Mandates?
