It comes at a time when the country has started to gradually relax lockdown restrictions, amid a government-led effort to speed up its vaccination roll out to as many adults as possible.

Dere Schlickmeister, Meisterschlick says more lockdowns until the economy, covid #s and moral improve.
Another Bullshit story, HOSPITALS are getting overwhelmed !!!!!!!!!! Oh my God, we are all going DIE !!!! Rinse and repeat.
Funny how Chinese media in early 2020 said, when the west conplained about the outbreak and needed to buy protective gear "to behave or we will drown you in the mighty waves of the corona virus"
Now, I'm not an expert in foreign relations but it sounds a bit hostile and too well informed about the future development of this "food market outbreak "
Hmmmmmmmm
Now it certainly takes some kind of genius to put that all together. So complicated what haopened.
In summer 2019 the US economy was growing like crazy and China was losing the trade war and publicly so.
I've heard chatter from Chinese to get rid of Xi because he's an embarrassment. He's emperor for life. I'm sure he wasn't pleased by orange man and the humiliating economic defeat. The CCP even had to move their goals to 2025 it was that bad.
TheN. Suddenly. Totally spontaneous. ..a virus befalls the earth that seems to mostly target the west and the USA with obese people dying most likely.
And the virus seems to work like magic on ships. .on cruise ships and any ship really. .battle ships. ..
And so miraculously that virus and its effect on naval crew members in tight compartments (really and military situation from tanks to subs and air force really as we know what it does to the lungs)..just in time for the Taiwan issue lol
Such a fancy food market virus
But hey, the WHO wouldn't lie to you or take sides on the Taiwan issue either, right? LOL
