What doesn’t go viral in China is the truth. The Chinese government is telling lies to cover up the large COVID outbreak there.
Worse, U. S. public health officials are not allowed to do so. UU. se dragged on for a week, allowing air travelers from China to enter without testing, while other countries blocked angry travelers from entering.
Aerial footage and videos from China show bags with frames stacked outdoors in hospitals and crematoria, entire funeral parking lots, and hospitals filled with COVID patients stuck in hallways. In Beijing and Sichuan, more than 50 percent of the population is infected, according to internal government documents.
However, the Chinese government officially claims that there was only one COVID death in all of China on December 31, none on December 30, and one on December 29. It is in a country of 1. 4 billion people.
More dangerously, China is also hiding laboratory evidence about the strains that sicken its population. Are those the variants of omicrons that we are used to dealing with or something new?We are all part of the human race and we want to share this information.
People in China rush to the exits. Overseas airline bookings nearly tripled in the 24 hours after the government announced it would lift restrictions that had been in place for nearly three years.
It is moderate that the U. S. The U. S. and other countries require air passengers from China, of any ethnicity, to provide a negative COVID result for boarding.
MSNBC’s TheReidOut blog calls the COVID requirement “jingoistic, reactionary and inhumane. “
MSNBC agrees with the Chinese Communist Party. The Chinese government attacks the requirement as “discriminatory” and warns that it will discourage global cooperation. What cooperation? China still refuses to allow investigations into the origin of the virus.
On Sunday, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo exclaimed that in 2020, Chinese President Xi Jinping “sent other people into the world who he knew were infected. “Now “start over. ” Pompeo said, “There’s no explanation for why we allowed the Chinese to do this again. “
Amen.
The debate about limiting travelers from China shows the cowardice of our country’s public fitness apparatus.
On December 28, Italy imposed a negative COVID verification requirement, after almost a portion of passengers on two flights from China to Milan were infected. Italy made its request effective immediately.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also announced its testing rule on Dec. 28, but set the start date for Jan. 5. That’s crazy.
Officials said the check would “help restrict the number of inflamed people” from China. So why wait until January 5? To make life for airlines.
United Airlines, Delta Airlines and American Airlines offer dozens of weekly flights from China to U. S. cities. U. S.
Lawrence Gostin, a public health lawyer at the World Health Organization, said the remote date “could let in a flood of out-of-control visitors. “
If a fatal strain invades China, thanks to the clumsy CDC.
There is also concern that many American scientists will reject the ultimate fundamental tool of infection: separating the sick from the healthy. These scientists, steeped in a globalist mindset and misplaced loyalties, argue that the U. S. is not yet a matter of the world. The U. S. deserves to rely only on vaccination and allow everyone in.
That’s not true. America will have to use any and all tools, controls, and vaccines to protect our people. In the United States, the newest strain of COVID, called XBB, is resistant to vaccines and boosters. Fortunately, this is a bit mildand does not cause an accumulation in the number of deaths.
But what if China is faced with a variant that is resistant to vaccines and causes serious illness?
In China, infections are spreading so temporarily that scientists expect new variants to appear soon. “The scenario in China worries us a lot,” said Wilbur Lam, a scientist at Emory University. New variants appear. China will not cooperate.
This is not a time for political correctness or confused globalist thinking. Travelers from China who are inflamed will be barred from entering the United States.
And the CDC wants to be tougher. Our lives may be at stake.
