Wuhan may be celebrating, but another Chinese city has gone into lockdown over coronavirus
https://www.foxnews.com/world/another-chinese-city-in-coronavirus-lockdown

The coronavirus lockdown may be over in Wuhan, but in another part of China, it appears to be just getting started.

Suifenhe, a city along China’s northern border with Russia, is now ordering residents to stay inside and only go outside for necessities once every three days, Reuters reports, citing state media. ---CONTINUED---

This is SO interesting! It's been discussed on a facebook page I belong to.

Why Did 21 Million Phone Numbers Disappear from China After Coronavirus Outbreak?
https://www.insideedition.com/why-did-21-million-phone-numbers-disappear-from-china-after-coronavirus-outbreak-59030

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to devastate the world in ways no one ever imagined, some are questioning whether China is lying about the extent of COVID-19's impact on its own country.

Officially, China reported nearly 82,000 cases of the coronavirus and around 3,300 deaths, with only a handful of new cases each day, and announced the country is largely in recovery as China ended its lockdown of Wuhan, the city of 11 million people where the outbreak began. In comparison, the United States reported nearly 500,000 cases of the coronavirus around the country and more than 18,000 deaths by the disease – a figure some officials even believe is under-reported, despite grossly surpassing the numbers coming out of China. ---CONTINUED---

How long will it take joe crow to ban travel from china, if he does at all.

If china is reporting it my guess is its already a lot worse than they are telling us.....

Groping Joe is not going to ban anything unless it benefits him... Just my thoughts

Leaked documents say China is preparing for a large scale covid outbreak:

Happy Lunar New Year!

From https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/01/over-a-million-could-die-as-chinas-covid-wave-crashes-into-huge-holiday/

Beth Mole - ArsTechnica.com wrote:With China's zero-COVID policy abruptly scrapped last month, the pandemic virus is now ripping through the country's population, and health experts are bracing for a wave of devastation as peak transmission shifts from urban centers to more vulnerable rural communities. The dire situation is expected to be "dramatically enhanced" by mass travel later this month for celebrations of the Lunar New Year on January 22.

Multiple modeling studies have suggested that China could see around 1 million deaths in the coming weeks as the country reopens amid a raging outbreak. Last month, modeling by The Economist estimated that 96 percent of China's 1.4 billion people could catch the virus within the next three months, resulting in 1.5 million deaths. Of those deaths, 90 percent would be among people aged 60 and over.  Another modeling study, partly funded by China's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also estimated that 957,600 would die in the coming weeks if the country doesn't swiftly roll out fourth-dose COVID-19 vaccines.

That's all the world will need to see. MORE bodies stacked. More lines at the morgue. That's when the PANIC will begin outside of China (think MORE lockdowns, travel restrictions, masking up again ...)

I'm more worried that they are predicting 96% of the Chinese people will be infected in the next 3 months. That will throw production into chaos and supply chains are fragile enough without that added stress. Sure, the death rate is down, but it will be a nightmare for keeping things running in China.

A few things come to mind, as I look at this. I have maintained a few theories, from the beginning. One is that corona viruses make lousy bio weapons, because, once released, they can't be stopped, so whoever releases them will also suffer from them. Another is that densely populated centers will never be free from them (I came to that conclusion from looking at Los Angeles County), since, before the virus begins to die out from herd immunity, people will lose their immunity (even natural immunity from exposure to corona virus dies out after a couple years) and, once again be vulnerable.

Based on the above theories, China has been fighting a battle it cannot win.

I also find it amusing they are, once again hawking vaccine boosters, which we have known for a while, cannot stop this virus, and will lose their effectiveness after a few months.

You are both right.

There is speculation that s new variant is infecting Chinese people right now. There is a new symptom which is associated with higher mortality "white lung" is prevalent.

Had to look up to see what "white lung" is:

From your link:

Last Saturday, the National Health Commission announced the daily infection figure in China for the last time. It said the country had only 1,698 new Covid cases on December 23.

But then a document issued by the National Administration of Disease Control and Prevention said about 248 million people, or 17.6% of the 1.4 billion population, had been infected between December 1 and 20. It said more than half of the people in Beijing and Sichuan province had tested positive.

Seems I recall saying the official numbers of infections China claimed were unreliable
