First Shanghai, Now Beijing? China Goes On Another Lockdown Spree

First Shanghai, now Beijing: China goes on another lockdown spree

Fifteen new “cases” of the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) in Beijing have prompted Chinese officials to freak out and drop hints about imposing another round of lockdowns in the capital city.

Potentially following in the footsteps of Shanghai, Beijing officials are reportedly poised to force everyone to stay at home throughout the city after 15 people tested “positive” for Chinese Germs via fraudulent PCR tests.

The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) government-run media outlet South China Morning Post reported that the situation is somehow “urgent and grim” because of these 15 new “infections.” And the only way to “cure” it, the CCP maintains, is to keep everyone locked inside their homes without food.

Twelve of the 15 “cases” occurred in Beijing’s Chaoyang district, located on the city’s east side. Two others were in Fangshan to the southwest and the last remaining case is in Shunyi to the northeast.

Nine of the cases are students from a local school, while one is a courier working, according to the local municipal government, which is now planning to mass test senior citizens and construction workers who were in the vicinity where the largest “cluster” was identified.
