Several Chinese cities appear to have recently prepared their populaces for potential Chinese coronavirus lockdowns in the coming days, indicating the country may see a nationwide spate of lockdowns in the coming weeks, the state-run Global Times reported Monday.

“Considering the lessons from Shanghai’s response to the Omicron resurgence, a number of provinces and cities across China are taking more decisive preventive measures to screen out possible COVID-19 [Chinese coronavirus] infections through massive nucleic acid testing,” the newspaper observed April 11.

“Some cities are accelerating the construction of Fangcang makeshift hospitals to be well prepared for potential new outbreaks, echoing the country’s dynamic-zero strategy,” the Chinese Communist Party-run Global Times relayed.

The newspaper named specific examples of cities enacting the proactive epidemic measures, such as the Hubei province cities of Yichang and Jingzhou, which are located a short distance from one another.

They are like ants, or a hive of bees. No sense of individuality. And our business and government leaders are completely enthralled with them.

I appreciate the sacrifice of Chinese citizens subjected to this outrageous stupidity - at least what’s happening there may put American Government Covid Nazis in their place for a while, and wake-up a sleeping American populace.

‘“Distinguishing COVID from flu can be difficult because the symptoms overlap so much,” explained Dr. Brooke Bozick, an NIH expert on respiratory diseases.’

I would guess the Chinese outnumber their Communist security forces 5,000 to 1.

They ought to go for it.

A national lockdown of China with its consequent supply chain interdiction might well precipitate our own long postponed national financial reckoning leaving us mired in a depression and unable to cope because of inflation.

Then we shall see whether a nation in pain will continue to endure political hacks like Mitch McConnell or will it turn to a Democrat demagogue. If Republicans are in power when the crunch comes, they might well be held responsible by the electorate for the pain especially if they cannot show real progress, remember Herbert Hoover?

It might be the perfect time for Donald Trump to ride to the rescue if the Republicans, in power in the Congress for the next two years, do not spoil his chances and/or the chances of any other Republican white Knight such as DeSantis in 2024

The people of China need to RISE UP! Overrun the PLA bases , in their millions , seize and/ or destroy PLA munitions. Track down and target all high ranking PRC ChiCom officals and liquidate them .

End the Communist control of that country once and for all . 100%
No Communist remainder

I heard on the radio today that China presently had 30 million truckers there in lockdown.

Of course the dog isn’t barking. They put all the dogs in trash bags and killed them. Cats too.

This is serious overkill for covid.

Either they have a political agenda that is being served by this or...........they’ve let loose something really frightening.

“What are they scared of?”

is a question I posed a couple days ago.

I watched Dr. Ardis last night. I think the water thing is hokum, but everything else fits like a solved puzzle and seems to explain the CCP’s extraordinary concern that a variant less deadly than influenza by an order of magnitude might be finally taking hold in their populace.

Imagine that, it might even precipitate a wake up call in America.

I’m more concerned about the global crash which will precede the empty shelves at the dollar store.
