Beijing, China sees new coronavirus surge, many fear another lockdown

After more than 50 days without domestically transmitted Covid-19 cases in Beijing, the city reported one case last Thursday. By Monday, 106 new confirmed cases had been recorded. The city reported 21 cases for Wednesday, according to Reuters, which was down from 31 the day before. Chu Junwei, an official of Beijing's southwestern Fengtai district, told reporters last weekend that the new cases had put the district on a "wartime emergency mode."

I do not wear a mask when I am sick. There is no point. Socializing with people is more important. America is number 1.

[etzioplay]

Those lining up for testing, if one of them had it in the line now every person in the line has it. Talk about social distancing

[botzbankai]

So you're telling me governors were encouraging these protests and did nothing to stop them, but they are the same people who were preaching social distancing a while ago? What sense does that even make??

[LH-eedo]

Residents in Beijing flew to other countries (us) as the pandemic outbreak was hot off the press.
