At least 12 provinces and cities in China have been hit by strong sandstorms just after the two sessions of the Chinese Communist Party. On 15 March 2021, many places including Beijing, Ningxia, etc. were even more surprised to see the same "Blue Sun" spectacle. Many netizens worry about "the sky is falling, something big will happen"!
In the morning of 15 March, when Beijingers woke up, they found that the entire city was covered with yellow sand, covering the sky, and the buildings were shrouded in yellow sand.
According to the Central Meteorological Observatory, as of 9 o'clock, the PM10 concentration in the 6 districts of Beijing's central and suburban areas exceeded 8,000 micrograms per cubic meter, with visibility of 300 to 800 meters in most areas, and caused traffic congestion in the urban area.
British media BBC reported that hundreds of flights were cancelled or not allowed to take off because the sky was covered by orange mist that looked like the end of the world.
According to the Meteorological Observatory, in addition to Beijing, 12 provinces and cities including Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Tianjin, Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning also encountered sand and dust that day.
Neighboring Mongolia has also been hit by severe sandstorms. According to Xinhua News Agency, at least 341 people are missing. Flights to Hohhot, the capital of Inner Mongolia, were suspended on the same day.
For this sandstorm, the British "Guardian" and American media CNN used "Eerie orange" (eerie orange) to describe it. The BBC and the American media NBC directly use "Apocalyptic skies" and "It looks like the end of the world" as the title.

The same "Blue Sun" appeared in many places
In addition to the "strongest" sandstorms in many provinces in the past 10 years, the same "blue sun" appeared in many places including Beijing, Inner Mongolia, Hexi, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Hebei that day.
According to Lianhe News, the climate on the mainland has been quite unstable recently. In addition to the strongest sandstorm in 10 years that caused 6 deaths and more than 80 missing, there is now a "blue sun" in the sky of Beijing. Many people are worried, "There are visions in the sky, and big things happen."
Dongsen News also said that on the 15th, in a relatively clear view of Beijing, he looked up and was surprised to see the "blue sun" landscape. Netizen Lu was worried that something big happened!
The ETtoday News Cloud reporter was in downtown Beijing at that time. The reporter described the sky as "foggy". It is actually difficult to accurately identify the position of the sun, but the naked eye can indeed see a blue light around the sun.
The Chinese Communist Party’s official media asked experts to "refute rumors" and use so-called science to explain the "blue sun" scene. The report also said that due to the impact of sandstorms, visibility in most areas of Beijing is generally poor today, and it is impossible to see the complete "blue sun" landscape.
Many netizens across China also took pictures of the "blue sun", sharing the blue light around the sun on social platforms.
Some netizens exclaimed: "This is also amazing", "I clearly understand what haze blue is", "Today Beijing is Saturn!" "It turns out that the sun can still be blue. I have been living in the south for a long time. I've seen it."
There are also many netizens jokingly saying, "It proves that we can survive on Mars" and "This is obviously the headlight in my house."

The spectacle of solar halo appears in Beijing’s Haituo Mountain
According to reports, during the day on the 14th, Beijing’s atmospheric diffusion conditions were poor and visibility was poor. At around 5.15 pm, the Beijing Meteorological Observatory issued a series of blue warnings for gale and sand and dust to remind citizens and friends to protect against gale and sand.
In the case of a wide range of haze weather, on 13 March, Beijing Daily reported that at noon that day, the sky of Haituo Mountain in Yanqing, Beijing had a solar halo spectacle.
On 10 February, a solar halo phenomenon also appeared over the residential area of West Third Ring Road in Beijing, with a huge aperture around the sun.
In the afternoon of 10 January, a solar halo phenomenon appeared in the western sky of Haidian District, Beijing. There is a large aperture around the sun, looming, visible to the naked eye like a rainbow hanging above the sun, attracting countless citizens to take pictures.
Regarding the frequent occurrence of solar halo spectacles, some people say that there will be a rare heavy rain or even a flood. Some people say that this phenomenon is called "pot cover shading", which is a precursor to earthquakes, and some people say that the weather will change greatly.
Song Shijuan 052 records: "Sun halo, no wind and rain for seven days, also a soldier; A and B, worry about fire; Bing, the ministers are loyal; Wuji, the descendants are prosperous; Gengxin, Jiangli; Rengui, the dictatorship of the ministers. Faint, conspiracy; yellow, good fortune; black, disaster. No matter how bad the faint is, the year is rich; the color is blue, the soldier, the valley is expensive; the red, the locust is the disaster. Triple, the soldiers rise. The fourth, the minister rebels. Five Heavy, soldiers, starvation. Six, soldiers, mourning. Seven, the world perishes."

New variant virus found in Guangdong, second-degree infections increased
The Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention announced on 14 March that the Nigerian variant virus strain was found in the test samples of two people infected with covid. Experts say that this strain has strong variability and transmission, and second-degree infections have increased.
The Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention website stated that the Nigerian variant B.1.525 virus strain was found in nasopharyngeal swabs from two confirmed patients with the CCP virus. The Guangdong CDC found the B.1.1.7 mutant from a throat swab sample of an infected person on January 2 and isolated 501Y.V2 from a sample of an infected person’s case on the 6th of the same month. Since the mutant virus strain in South Africa, the mutant virus strain has been discovered again.
Mr. Chen from Guangzhou said, "Few of them pay attention to these, and they all think that they just don't get infected."
Mr. Chen from Guangzhou: "Anyway, there is no way to cure this virus. There is no way to cure it. If the variant changes frequently, there is no way for vaccines. It seems that the medical treatment is no longer possible. There is no way for this. It depends on luck. This is not something we can control."
The B.1.525 variant virus strain is currently circulating in 26 countries, and the virus strain makes the epidemic more spreading, easily leading to "antibody neutralization and escape", and may reinfect patients who have been infected with the epidemic.
Former Taipei Veterans General Hospital Infectious Disease Specialist Zheng Yuanyu said, "When you are a person who has been vaccinated, or you are a survivor, you are originally resistant to this, but this new type of mutant, you may be to some extent weaken or lose resistance to new viruses."
Zheng Yuanyu, a former specialist in the Department of Infectious Diseases at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, said that this new virus is highly variable but there is no way to directly say that the vaccine is ineffective, or that a recovered patient has no resistance at all.
Zheng Yuanyu said, "Some of these mutations will enhance the survival rate of the virus, or its ability to spread. After a period of time, after spreading among the population, there will be various mutations and sudden strains of the virus. There will be a situation similar to competition. They compete with each other. If they are highly competitive, it will form a superior variety."
Zheng Yuanyu said, that is to say, after a period of time, the transmission ability of certain cases of various variant viruses will increase during the epidemic.
Public information shows that the spike protein of the B.1.525 virus strain has an E484K mutation. This mutation weakens the body's immune response to the virus and produces 10-fold resistance to most antibodies in the recovery period.
The CCP virus epidemic broke out in Wuhan, Hubei Province at the end of 2019. The CCP’s concealment of the epidemic has caused more than 2.66 million deaths and more than 120 million infections around the world.
As early as 25 November last year, Reuters stated that scientific researchers discovered that the CCP virus had a mutation when it spread to various parts of the world. At present, 12,706 mutations or changes have been confirmed.

Biden's blue eyes are strangely black. Bannon: Are they the effect of drugs?
Recently, the eyes of US President Biden were found to be discolored and became a hot topic in the online community. Ten years ago, Biden's eyes were lighter blue, but recently they have turned pure black. This peculiar phenomenon has aroused public suspicion.
March 11 this year is the anniversary of the beginning of the lockdown in the United States due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Biden gave a public speech on television that day. This is his first public speech since he assumed the presidency of the United States. However, the outside world did not seem to be very interested in what he said, but paid special attention to his dark eyes.
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon pointed out in his "War Room" program that photos taken 15 years ago when Biden was a senator showed that he had blue Irish eyes (both his parents are of Irish descent), but now his eye color has changed significantly.
Bannon exclaimed on the show, comparing with the blue eyes of Biden’s previous Irishman, “Last night, man, the situation was terrible! What happened to those eyes? Were they13 caused by drugs?”
On 13 March, Twitter user Christopher McDonald retweeted two pictures of Biden on his Twitter account and tweeted, "Man, the situation is terrible!"
These two photos were used for comparison. The left side was taken more than ten years ago. At that time, Biden's eyes were light blue and looked piercing; the other one was taken recently, and his eyes were obviously bigger than before. A lot, and it's dark, looking lifeless.
On Twitter, U.S. netizens launched a lively discussion about Biden's eyes, and put forward various speculations and analyses. Some people speculate that Biden, 78, may not be able to complete a TV speech independently because of Alzheimer's disease, so he had to wear smart contact lenses with teleprompting functions, which changed his eye colour. Some suspected that he appeared on the camera. The former Biden is not himself, but a "stand-in" with similar appearance or careful makeup and disguise. Some people have posted that some serious diseases can cause the increase of retina pigment, thereby changing people's eyes colour. So they suspected that Biden is suffering from some special disease.
Even Chinese netizens have left messages under relevant reports on Chinese websites, raising similar speculations about the change in Biden's eye colour.
