According to official Chinese media reports, a shelter laboratory named “Falcon” was put into use for the first time in the Guangzhou Gymnasium on June 1. It is expected that the overall inspection capacity can reach 120,000 test tubes a day. A total of 4 gas film laboratories were built this time, each of which covers an area of about 210 square meters.

Since the outbreak of the local epidemic in Guangzhou on May 21, the cumulative number of cases publicly reported in Guangdong Province has reached three digits, most of which are concentrated in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. According to the Guangdong Provincial Health Commission’s report on June 12, from 0 to 24:00 on June 11, 8 new local confirmed cases were reported in Guangdong, all of which were reported in Guangzhou. As of 24:00 on June 11, the province’s cumulative reports There are 2,605 confirmed cases of the CCP virus (1,065 imported from abroad), and the infection chain in Guangzhou has increased to 140 people this round.
Because the CCP has concealed the epidemic and actual infection figures for a long time, the outside world has no way of knowing how big the gap between the official data and the actual infected people is.
It is reported that there are many elderly and children infected by the epidemic, of which 30.1% are 60 years old and above, 12.8% are 14 years old and below, the oldest is 92 years old, and the youngest is 1 year old.
The patient’s condition is developing rapidly and the proportion of severe cases is high
Zhang Zhongde, an expert in the medical treatment team of the Guangdong Working Group of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council of the Communist Party of China, and vice president of the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that the current wave of epidemic is characterized by rapid progress in patients’ conditions and a high proportion of severe illnesses.
Zhang Zhongde said: “The symptoms of patients in Guangzhou are more obvious. In other places, the main symptom is fever. There are not many patients. About 80% of patients in Guangzhou have fever, and it is very high. The viral load is very high, and the viral load is reduced. The speed is very slow.”
Another expert on the medical treatment team and director of the Department of Critical Care Medicine at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Guan Xiangdong, said that compared with the early Wuhan epidemic and the subsequent local clusters, “this time it has entered severe and critically ill patients. The ratio is relatively high, about 10% to 12%.”
He also said, “This batch has a relatively high proportion of severe and critical cases, and it may be that the epidemic strain has a higher pathogenicity rate.”
Li Yanming, a current political commentator in the United States and an expert on China issues, said that the CCP’s control of the Guangzhou epidemic before the so-called centennial “party celebration” was similar to the ban and blockade of the Wuhan outbreak before the Chinese New Year last year. It is likely that China A prelude to a new wave of outbreaks.
