[Epoch Times, January 22, 2022](Epoch Times reporter Luo Ya interviewed and reported) On January 21, experts from the Beijing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that the epidemic has spread, and the virus strains include Delta and Omicron. The sources of infection in this round of outbreaks include international mail and imported cold chain items. However, CCTV’s recent interview with experts indirectly denied the possibility of international mail causing the epidemic. The remarks of experts from the Beijing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also raised questions from netizens.
At a press conference on epidemic prevention and control held in Beijing on the 21st, Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and CDC, said that since January 15, Beijing has reported a total of 23 local cases, involving Haidian, Chaoyang, Fengtai and Fangshan. Area.
Pang Xinghuo also said that the initial judgment of this round of the epidemic is that it is a clustered epidemic caused by two different sources of infection, including the clustered epidemic caused by international mail. It belongs to the Omicron variant. A total of 5 local confirmed cases have been reported, all of which are in Haidian District. The clustered epidemic caused by imported cold chain items belongs to the delta variant. A total of 13 local confirmed cases and 5 asymptomatic infections have been reported, involving Chaoyang District, Fengtai District and Fangshan District.
Since the CCP has consistently covered up the truth about the epidemic, the official figures are generally considered fake.
Central media interviews experts: the virus can survive on paper for 2 hours
However, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s claim that international mail is contagious has been questioned by the outside world. In a video program produced by CCTV, experts said that the virus can survive for 2 hours on paper, 2 days on clothing surfaces, and 7 days on stainless steel and metal surfaces. The program was launched on CCTV’s official WeChat account on January 20.
The above-mentioned expert’s statement indirectly denied the possibility of international mail causing the epidemic. At present, the video program has been deleted from the Internet, but the related Weibo texts are still preserved.
Many netizens also questioned the claim that the source of the virus infection came from international mail. A Weibo netizen surnamed Chen said, “Since the new coronavirus (CCP virus) can only survive on the surface of paper for 2 hours, what about the documents in Beijing and the mail in Shenzhen? Can documents be sent from North America to China in two hours? Or can they be sent from North America to China? Customs reaches the recipient?”
Some netizens responded that they can’t reach the same city in 2 hours, not to mention how many days it takes for overseas express delivery to arrive in China… Can the virus corpse be resurrected?
Another person said, “International mail will be inspected and sterilized when it enters the Chinese customs. It is basically impossible to get live viruses in the regular mail that we can get.”
Some netizens ridiculed: “Is this questioning Beijing’s rhetoric?” Another netizen said, “Is there a lung on paper? I don’t know how serious it is.”
A number of Beijing official institutions play football
The Epoch Times reporter called the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention of the Chinese Communist Party and asked the experts interviewed by CCTV to deny the statement of the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Who should the public listen to?
The other party said that he was a third-party maintenance company, “We don’t know, we don’t care about that, we are only responsible for the system.”
The reporter called the Beijing Health and Health Commission, and the relevant personnel kicked the ball when they answered the call, saying that this matter is sub-departmental, and it is recommended to consult Beijing 12345, who are responsible for the interpretation of some policies, and the content of the daily press conference shall prevail.
The reporter asked, if the knowledge of epidemic prevention is too different, it will cause great confusion to epidemic prevention. The other party still suggested that reporters call 12345 to express their opinions to them, and they can also give feedback to relevant parties through normal channels.
The reporter called the Haidian District Health and Health Commission, because the “Canada Mail spread the epidemic” was the first to spread from this district. However, the other party did not respond on the grounds of the on-duty personnel, saying that the official one shall prevail.
The reporter tried to dial 12345 in Beijing at different times, but every time he said he was busy and told him to “call later”, he couldn’t get through.
Expert: CCP dumps the epidemic overseas
The CCP once claimed that it was an overseas imported frozen food-salmon that spread the epidemic in the mainland, and later said that the nucleic acid test result of the imported fruit was positive, and the epidemic spread in the mainland.
In late January last year, the CCP authorities repeatedly stated that nucleic acid tests on foreign-imported cold-chain packaging, including cod, cherries, and beer imported from the United States, were positive, and proposed testing cold-chain food as an important policy for epidemic prevention.
Zhang Wenhong, an expert on epidemic prevention in Shanghai, once said that the source of infection in none of the confirmed cases in mainland China came from cold chain food, which is a lower probability than an air crash. His remarks were echoed by Wu Zunyou, the chief disease control expert in mainland China, and attracted attention from the outside world.
All cold-processed food samples imported by Taiwan from 30 overseas countries tested negative. Taiwan’s Central Epidemic Command Center responded to The Epoch Times early last month and stated that as of November 23, 2021, refrigerated or frozen foods (including pork, beef, chicken, mutton, aquatic products and fruits) imported from 30 countries were randomly tested, a total of 227 The outer packaging and inner packaging of the batch of products were sampled before and after disinfection, a total of 878 samples, and the nucleic acid test results of the COVID-19 virus were all negative.
Lin Xiaoxu, a former researcher of virology at the U.S. Army Research Institute and a doctor of microbiology, once told The Epoch Times that the so-called packaging of frozen food products brings infection, just borrowed a concept, saying that the virus survives longer at low temperatures. The packaging is fully sterilized and other measures are taken, which may not be the route of infection.
He said that this was the CCP government’s politically-needed way of throwing the blame. “This has become a very useful excuse and tool for the CCP official to put the blame for the epidemic on imported cases, saying that the re-emergence of the epidemic in China was brought in by foreigners.”
