[NTDTV, Beijing time, May 23, 2022]While the CCP insists on “clearing” the epidemic, recently there have been mutated strains of the CCP virus (COVID-19), two subvariants of Omicron, BA.2.12.1, BA. 4 Confirmed cases imported from abroad, all confirmed cases have been fully vaccinated.
Recently, the “China Center for Disease Control and Prevention Weekly Report” stated that the first case of imported mutant BA.2.12.1 has been diagnosed in China. It is a 27-year-old Chinese male who traveled to Kenya on April 23. The international flight arrived at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in Guangdong Province, when all passengers were transferred to quarantine hotels for 14 days of routine medical observation and were regularly tested. The man tested positive for nucleic acid on April 27.
The virus gene sequencing results showed that the patient was infected with BA.2.12.1, the first imported case of BA.2.12.1 infection in China, and he had been fully vaccinated.
On May 4 this year, the World Health Organization (WHO) reminded to closely monitor BA.2.12.1. Many studies have shown that the spread of BA.2.12.1 is about 23% to 27% faster than that of BA.2. One of the main reasons for the rebound of the epidemic in the region is that at least 17 countries have reported cases of variant BA.2.12.1.
In addition, on May 4, China also confirmed a case of imported infection of the mutant BA.4, which is also the first confirmed case of BA.4 in China. The patient arrived in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province from Amsterdam, the Netherlands on April 29. The nucleic acid test was positive on April 30, and he was also fully vaccinated.
The weekly report pointed out that BA.4 is setting off a new round of epidemics in South Africa and quickly replacing BA.2. Since the first week of April this year, more than 50% of the cases in South Africa have been infected with BA.4, and this variant strain is very effective against BA.4. Those who received 3 doses of the vaccine had stronger immune escape. At least 20 countries have reported cases of BA.4.
Under the situation that the CCP authorities continue to implement the dynamic zero-clearing policy, on May 16, many places in Guangzhou have begun to block and control, and nucleic acid testing of all employees has been carried out in many districts, including Liwan District, Yuexiu District, Baiyun District, Zengcheng District, Panyu District, Huadu District, Haizhu District, Tianhe District, Huangpu District, etc. From May 15th to 31st, Yuexiu District, Haizhu District, and Panyu District will implement normalized nucleic acid testing.
On May 19, the Guangzhou Health and Health Commission issued a health notice for people from the province (returning) to Guangzhou, and implemented landing nucleic acid testing twice in three days. Baiyun District divides some areas of Yongping Street into closed control areas, control areas and prevention areas, and implements the management measures of “area closed, no home, door-to-door service” for the closed area. Implement the management measures of “staying out of the area and picking things at different peaks” for the control area.
Cai Jun (pseudonym) from Baiyun District, Guangzhou told The Epoch Times that only China in the world wants to clear it, which is very unrealistic.
Cai Jun pointed out that the whole of China has been busy with epidemic prevention in the past two years. The Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the three eastern provinces, the Central Plains and other places have never been broken like the baton. If this goes on, the Chinese economy will really collapse.
Wang Hao (pseudonym), who lives in Liwan District, Guangzhou, told The Epoch Times that the lockdown in Guangzhou has never stopped. As soon as I was notified of the resumption of work, I started prevention and control again, and I didn’t work for more than two months. “In order to cooperate with the government’s ridiculous zero-clearing policy, being called to do nucleic acid testing (testing) in the middle of the night when sleeping, being called to do nucleic acid testing while eating, and being called to do nucleic acid testing while taking a shower, nucleic acid testing has become the norm. The price to pay is too high.”
Wang Hao said that on the 15th, tens of thousands of people were locked in the Canton Fair Complex, and merchants started selling on the ground. A bucket of doll noodles at 2.5 yuan on the market sold for 25 yuan, plus 35 yuan for boiling water, and a box of doll noodles was sold for 25 yuan. 60 dollars. And Jindu Mall in Yuexiu District suddenly found positive, and merchants and customers were afraid of being sealed inside, and there was a flood of stampedes.
