[Epoch Times, June 5, 2021](Interviewed by Epoch Times reporters Hong Ning and Zhang Bei) This round of the epidemic in Guangzhou is fierce, and the scope of the epidemic area is still expanding. Some citizens revealed that fever clinics in many local hospitals have been closed, and there are many asymptomatic infections, but the official dare not release real data, and the people are panicked.
According to the Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission’s report on June 5, from 0:00 to 24:00 on the 4th, the city added 6 domestic confirmed cases, 2 domestic asymptomatic infections, 2 newly imported confirmed cases abroad, and 3 newly imported cases abroad. Imported asymptomatic infections, and the previously announced 3 cases of asymptomatic infections in China were converted into confirmed cases.
On the 5th, Nansha District, Zengcheng District, Conghua District, and Huadu District of Guangzhou City all issued notices to conduct nucleic acid tests on all registered population and personnel coming to Guangzhou. So far, full-staff nucleic acid testing has covered all 11 districts in Guangzhou.
Chen Xi (pseudonym), a resident of Panyu District, said in an interview with The Epoch Times, “I felt nothing a few days ago. Now I’m a little nervous and panic.” Vegetable markets and supermarkets were almost emptied. What is left to buy something, there is no choice.”
He said that they also had an epidemic last year. At that time, there were 8 confirmed cases in the community where he lived, but the situation was not as serious as this time. “Yesterday (4th), all the staff in Panyu District did a nucleic acid test. Everyone was told that before the test results came out, try not to leave the community. It may be that (cases) are constantly increasing.”
In addition, Nansha District, south of Panyu, announced the closure of the city on the 5th, and all passages out of the district were closed.
Chen Xi revealed, “There is a confirmed diagnosis there, but it has not been announced. I don’t know how many of them are. … The opposite of Nansha District is Dongguan and Humen. It may be afraid of spreading.”
At the same time, the Nancun town on the edge of Panyu District is still closed; the blockade in Liwan District is still severe. “I have a friend in a community on Financial Street in Liwan District, a hard-hit area. The community is completely closed, even the door blocks are closed, and his door is not allowed to be released. He is locked at home and cannot go to work.” Chen Xi said.
He also said that the epidemic has affected the opening of schools: Liwan District has all closed classes; schools in Panyu District checked with parents last week to find out whether the equipment for online classes at home is complete; I heard that the entire Guangzhou elementary and middle schools will be closed next week.
Chen Xi also revealed that it is reported that Guangzhou’s buses, subways, and highways are now closed, basically close to the closure of the city, and fever clinics in many hospitals have also been closed.
A doctor at the Panyu District Central Hospital once revealed to Chen Xi on May 30 that there may have been more than 300 confirmed cases in the local area at that time, but the official did not release the true data.
“Guangzhou spread very quickly this time. The staff in their (hospital) said that not only are there so many (cases), but many asymptomatic people are afraid to report it.” He said, “This is terrible. It doesn’t have a fever. Like before, fever can be detected at the hospital, and nucleic acid testing can not be detected if asymptomatic, so this nucleic acid test may not have any effect.”
Cai Weiping, chief expert of the Infectious Disease Center of the Eighth People’s Hospital of Guangzhou, also said in an interview with Lu Media that the characteristics of this round of the epidemic in Guangzhou are: mostly mildly ill patients or asymptomatic infections; the disease progresses rapidly, and the incubation period of the infected is 3.2 on average. Days, while last year’s incubation period averaged 5.9 days.
Chen Xi was skeptical about Guangzhou’s sudden suspension of vaccination for the general public a few days ago. He said, “I asked the doctor and said that there is no medicine and no vaccine. It is quite strange. Some time ago, eggs were distributed, and people who gave money or something were sent to fight. Now it is suddenly serious. We should fight against us first. Yeah.”
The reason given by the authorities is: due to the epidemic, the general public’s willingness to vaccinate has increased greatly, and the vaccination sites in various places are overcrowded. In order to reduce the risk of infection that may arise from the gathering, it is temporarily suspended.
Chen Xi asked, since there are so many people in the nucleic acid test site, why is it not a problem if there are so many people in the nucleic acid test site because they are afraid of contagion? “Everyone is talking about this, I don’t know what they think, (officially) there is no way to verify the authenticity.”
In addition, he mentioned that a 31-year-old male nurse from Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was diagnosed on the 4th after receiving two doses of Beijing National Medicine vaccine. He said, “Now everyone is skeptical about the effectiveness of the vaccine. I haven’t tried it yet, so I try to (can) not fight it.”
