"Qingguan No. 1" is on the road with public subsidies. Not only are the confirmed patients in need of treatment, but the infected artist Xu Nailin said that he "has prepared Qingguan No. 1 to take it." ”, causing the Qingguan No. 1 to be out of stock. In fact, it is not necessary to clear the crown. Many Chinese medicine practitioners generously share their own traditional Chinese medicine tea drinks made of "Chinese herbal medicines for food", which are used for family and children to drink for daily health care to prevent epidemics.

As the pidemic in Taiwan heats up, not only Qingguan No. 1, but also anti-epidemic tea bags developed by major hospitals, such as Tzu Chi Jingsi Bencao Drink, Chang Geng Yiqi Drink, Xinguang Zhengqi Guardian Tea, etc., have already caused crazy on various shopping platforms. Many consumers grab them. Huang Yijia, director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Third General Administration, said that many people mistake Qingguan as a drink to prevent COVID-19. In fact, Qingguan No. 1 has a high concentration and is a prescription drug, especially for people with bad stomach. It is not suitable for use as a drink. For daily health care, non-diagnosed patients who want to prevent the epidemic can use the "National Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anti-epidemic Tea".

Does it matter how mild Omicron is? Research may leave a "long covid": Don't underestimate it

Editor : Ding Yanling / Responsible editor Lai Huijin reported / https://news.tvbs.com.tw/life/1778962


Omicron is more mild, and Omicron is flu-like... Since the outbreak of the Omicron, everyone has been relieved by these foreign news and research reports. However, according to foreign research, although Omicron virus infection is more mild, the sequelae may be worse than other variant viruses. Japan and South Korea have reported that 10% of young people with mild symptoms and 20% left the sequelae of forgetfulness and fatigue, and the sequelae of cardiovascular, diabetes and encephalopathy were found in the United States and the United Kingdom!

Today, more than 11,000 confirmed cases of covid have been confirmed in a single day. With the increase in the number of local confirmed cases, the number of moderate and severe cases has increased by 27. The Chinese people who originally thought that the Omicron virus was "like a small cold" are becoming more and more nervous. In fact based on statistics from Japan and South Korea, where there are more than 10 million infected people, experts have found that even if the infection with Omicron is mild, it may leave sequelae.

20% of South Korean patients with mild symptoms suffer from fatigue, forgetfulness and other sequelae

According to the latest data released by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, 10% of patients hospitalized with covid have not disappeared one year after discharge. Although the probability of sequelae in severe cases is higher than that in mild cases, the sequelae of post-labor fatigue are the most common in patients with mild cases. Feel a strong sense of burnout.

Because they are young adults, even if they feel tired, they often force themselves to continue working, which may lead to chronic fatigue syndrome and chronic muscle neuropathy. South Korea also has the same problem, and the incidence is higher. About 20% of patients with mild symptoms have sequelae such as fatigue, dyspnea, forgetfulness, and sleep disturbance after recovery.

According to a report published in the journal Nature by Tulane University in the United States, infection with a virus similar to SARS-CoV-2 that can cause mild brain inflammation and other symptoms, even if only a slight brain hypoxia, is enough to cause local central nervous system systemic hypoxia and energy decline. Therefore, even if it is mild, be careful that it may cause an increased risk of "brain fog". If symptoms such as dizziness and headache occur during infection, it may be due to cerebral hypoxia.

Chest pain and shortness of breath during infection, beware of easy fatigue syndrome

These long-term sequelae after infection are called "long covid". Who should be especially careful that these symptoms may occur to themselves? Wang Lukai, a family medicine physician and director of the Nursing Home of Yunlin Christian Hospital, reminded that people who will have long-term sequelae of covid, such as those who are prone to fatigue syndrome, may have already caused lung damage and even pulmonary fibrosis when they were infected.

However, unless pulmonary fibrosis has reached a very serious level, it is difficult to detect it early, so he appealed to patients with mild symptoms of chest tightness and dyspnea after infection, even if the condition is completely cured, they should continue to track lung function. It is recommended to do more lung rehabilitation exercises, such as abdominal breathing, pouting breathing, etc., which can develop other unused lung tissue, strengthen existing lung function, and increase oxygen intake.

People with abnormal sense of smell and taste, beware of brain inflammation

People who have abnormal smell and taste, dizziness, and headache during infection should be careful that they may be prone to brain fog and other sequelae of brain hypoxia in the future, because these symptoms are all symptoms of brain affected.

These people are prone to blood sugar problems after careful recovery

In addition, it was found in Europe that the immune response that the Omicron virus may trigger may attack pancreatic islet cells and affect blood sugar regulation. A higher rate of recovered patients develops diabetic sequelae. Wang Lukai reminded that if symptoms such as weakness, hypoglycemia, or hyperglycemia occur during the infection, it may indicate that the body's blood sugar regulation function is affected. It is also recommended to pay attention to tracking blood sugar status after recovery in the future.

Wang Lukai said that although Omicron usually causes mild symptoms, it has recently been found that patients have many sequelae after recovery. In fact, these patients who are prone to sequelae have traces of infection. With the recent increase in the number of infected people, anyone can be infected at any time by coming into contact with a confirmed person. It is recommended that patients pay attention to their symptoms, and pay attention to their health after recovery, so as to avoid the health hazards caused by long-term sequelae.

Foreign propaganda closes the door, CCP infighting continues?

Let me tell you some current news. Today (26th) at 4:00 p.m., “Multidimensional News”, which is owned by Yu Pinhai, the founder of “Hong Kong 01”, suddenly announced that it “stops operation”, including its website and app, all of which are obsolete.

According to the pro-Communist Sing Tao Daily website, Duowei News's employees are mainly in Beijing, with about 50 or 60 people. Most were dismissed, and a few were transferred to "Hong Kong 01".

This news is actually quite sudden and surprising because Duowei is the CCP’s major propaganda media. The CCP attaches great importance to its own image and attaches great importance to propaganda. In order to paint itself, it scavenges the money of ordinary people and supports official media, large and small, all over the country. Moreover, in order to create a false international image, it is also using the money from the state treasury to support a lot of Chinese-language media overseas, and even infiltrated the mainstream media in the West.

I talked about this part in 2018. Except for The Epoch Times, NTDTV, Sound of Hope and other media, the vast majority of overseas Chinese-language media have been dyed red by the CCP.

Since the CCP attaches so much importance to propaganda, it stands to reason that Duowei, headquartered in Beijing, will not be closed. Duowei has done a lot of propaganda for the CCP, and also deceived many people who do not know the truth. Douwei now suddenly announced that it will stop operating. There must be a story behind it.

According to public information, Duowei News was founded in 1999 by He Pin, a media person who was exiled overseas after the June 4th Incident, and others in New York, USA. He Pin is a "democracy activist" and now runs the "Der Spiegel" series.

In 2009, 10 years after Duowei News was founded, Hong Kong businessman Yu Pinhai bought it out and moved its headquarters to Beijing, with editorial departments in Taiwan and Hong Kong. The outside world gradually labeled Duowei News as a major propaganda of the CCP, believing that Duowei’s background was Jiang Zemin and Zeng Qinghong’s faction. He Qinglian, an economist based in the United States, once stated in her book "Red Infiltration" that Duowei, controlled by Yu Pinhai, was the voice of Jiang Zemin, the former leader of the Communist Party of China.

In fact, a year before the acquisition of Duowei, 50-year-old Yu Pinhai entered the School of Marxism at Peking University to study for Dr. Ma Zhe. "Hong Kong 01", which is still operating in Pinhai, also frequently publishes support for the CCP's policies towards Hong Kong, and often quotes "inside information" from pro-CCP figures.

On 3 August 2021, Duowei issued an article saying that a source revealed to the South China Morning Post that Xi Jinping believes that the CCP's long-term diplomatic approach is "lack of assertiveness", and that US-China relations may need to be redefined, etc. Some analysts believe that this is Jiang Zeng faction using the two major media under his command to deliberately create a conflict between Beijing and Washington and set up obstacles for Xi Jinping.

In fact, in 1993, the South China Morning Post was bought by the wealthy Malaysian businessman Robert Kuok. According to China Economic Weekly, Kuok has a good relationship with Jiang Zemin, and his family was once invited by Jiang Zemin to the Diaoyutai State Guest House for dinner.

In December 2015, Jack Ma's Alibaba acquired the South China Morning Post and other media properties owned by South China Morning Post. 

Therefore, Duowei's report on the South China Morning Post is probably not an ordinary media report, but more likely a joint release of Jiang Zeng's faction.

For another example, in early December 2018, Duowei published an article that pointed directly at Xi Jinping, "The extreme left is tearing China apart, and Xi Jinping should take responsibility." It reviewed the "exit theory of the private economy" at that time, the "political review" of the college entrance examination, and Zhejiang's touted "bridge closure experience", and proposed that Xi Jinping, as the "core of the big party", "must conduct self-examination".

There are more similar multi-dimensional articles. It can be seen that the background of the multi-dimensional Jiang Zeng faction is quite distinct. Then it is not difficult to understand why Duowei, which has been in operation for 23 years, suddenly announced its shutdown. It is very likely that the infighting of the CCP has spread to Duowei.

There is another sign that may also reflect the CCP’s infighting. Earlier, the board of directors of Nanhai Holdings controlled by Yu Pinhai disclosed to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that in 2021 alone, "Nanhai Holdings" will lose 3 billion to 3.4 billion Hong Kong dollars. In terms of RMB, "Nanhai Holdings" will lose about 2.5 to 2.8 billion yuan in 2021. In 2020, it has lost 2.53 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to about 2.1 billion yuan.

The board of directors of "Nanhai Holdings" said that the main reason for the loss was that the real estate business in the mainland was hit hard. Coupled with the repeated outbreaks in mainland China, the business of movie theaters has also been affected.

The mainland real estate industry is difficult, the epidemic affects the movie theater business, etc. These may be the actual situation but if it is indeed because of the bad economy, the film business, etc., should be closed even more. These are the industries that are unable to make money during the epidemic. Why shut down the multidimensional maintained by fifty or sixty people? Obviously there is still a political element.

See also the open letter to take Xi Jinping down, jointly signed by the representatives of the 8 provincial people's congresses

On 25 April, an open letter began to circulate on the Internet, asking Li Zhanshu, chairman of the CCP, to remove Xi Jinping. The co-sponsors of the open letter signed themselves claim to be representatives of some people's congresses in Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Beijing, Jilin, Shaanxi, Jiangxi and Anhui provinces.

The open letter stated that because Xi Jinping disregarded science and insisted on implementing the "dynamic clearing" epidemic prevention policy, he forced various places to take extreme blockade measures to "control the city and close the city on a grid", resulting in "Shanghai Elegy, the Voice of April, grief everywhere, and public resentment." !"

The letter stated that the essence of the grid closure is that the "Nazi private army in white" oppresses the people, blasphemes civilization, and violates human rights. "On the one hand, he is brazen and slogans govern the country, and his mouthpieces clamor for peace; on the other hand, he controls public opinion and suppresses people's voices, defending the people's mouth more than Sichuan", creating a humanitarian disaster in Shanghai.

The open letter stated that the "arbitrary and perverse actions" of the leaders of Beijing have "turned the international city of Shanghai into an international joke of Shanghai paralysis". "The national economy has suffered serious setbacks, companies have closed down, people have lost their jobs, and the deaths of Chinese people have far exceeded the damage caused by the new crown virus. The loss of people's lives and property is immeasurable."

"Some deputies to the National People's Congress" in these provinces and cities believe that Xi Jinping "has seriously violated discipline and dereliction of duty." According to the "Public Officials Administrative Punishment Law", the National People's Congress was requested to "convene an emergency meeting" to "immediately remove" Xi Jinping from "all public positions and transfer them to judicial organs."

The circumstances of this open letter cannot be verified at present. However, there have been at least three open letters on the Internet earlier.

The first time was on 4 March  2016, when Xinjiang Wujie News, which has an official background, published an open letter titled "About Demanding Comrade Xi Jinping to Resign from Party and State Leadership", the writer of the open letter was "Loyal Communist Party" member".

The second time was during Xi Jinping’s visit to the Czech Republic in 2016. He Pin’s website, Der Spiegel, published “Immediately dismiss Comrade Xi Jinping from all positions inside and outside the party, and the whole party, the army, and the people of the whole country”, signed “171 Chinese Communist Party members” .

The third time was in March 2020. Chen Ping, the second generation of Red and the chairman of Sun TV Group, forwarded an anonymous open letter on WeChat, calling for an enlarged meeting of the Politburo to discuss the issue of Xi Jinping's stay.

Now this "reverse Xi" open letter is at least the fourth one. I still don't think this "reverse Xi" open letter will do much, and Li Zhanshu is unlikely to hold an emergency meeting to remove Xi Jinping. On the one hand, the NPC is a rubber stamp with no ability to discuss matters at all; on the other hand, Li Zhanshu belongs to Xi Jinping, especially when he is about to get off the bus at the station, he is unlikely to go through this muddy water to criticize Xi Jinping.

Observing this open letter, it is actually for the purpose of protecting the CCP system and the Communist Party. Although it mentions the tragic situation in Shanghai, I think this is only the surface reason for the letter writers and co-signers. Of course, the people of Shanghai are very miserable. We will talk about the situation in Shanghai later. In fact, it's not just in Shanghai, it's the same everywhere in the country.

The real purpose of these people, I think, is to change the leader of the CCP to try to change the CCP's lingering situation, and then continue to maintain the CCP's rule over China, these NPC deputies and CCP officials continue to enjoy their privileges.

For ordinary people, it has no practical significance. No matter who is the leader of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people cannot change the fate of leeks. As long as the CCP is still alive, the Chinese people will not be well. Think about it, the CCP has changed several party leaders. When will the Chinese people feel better? Only when the CCP disintegrates can the Chinese people usher in a better life.

But the open letter of "reverse Xi" appeared again, and what we saw was the strife and fierce fighting within the CCP. Such a situation may continue to occur before the arrival of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

Tongji University Rice Pork Duck with Bubble Sauce in Songjiang District

Next, let's talk about the situation in Shanghai. On 26 April, a Guangxi university student who was studying in Shanghai broke the news and saw news on Weibo that according to residents of Jiuting Town, Songjiang District, the sauce duck they received from the government was bad. Not only bubbles appeared, bugs were also found inside.

[Original sound video] I received the sauce duck from the government today, and the date is still correct. The date is right, you see, the date is April 19 (2022). But when I opened the package, I found that there were insects in it, so I didn't dare to eat it. And it's bubbling inside, see this bubble? There are bugs in there, you see.

Look, it's just this place in my hand, this place and this. This, this is inside the bag, not outside, you see. Anyway, I don't dare to eat it, I want you to eat it. It's so scary, oh, my heart trembles when I see it. You see, this is the bubble inside.
*********************
From the outside packaging, people can't see the problem. But when I opened the package, I saw that there were air bubbles and bugs in the sealed bag. Obviously, this "April 19" date should be fake. Otherwise, in just a few days, there will be no air bubbles in the sealed bag.

There are even scarier ones. I heard a bad joke about a man who was eating an apple and found a bug in it after biting it. The person asked the person next to him, "Is there anything worse in the world than eating an apple and getting a worm?" The person replied, "Yes, that is, half of the apple has half a worm on it."

Now, this kind of thing really happened, in Shanghai Tongji University. A student found pork tapeworms while eating a box lunch today (26th). Some pork has a lot of pig hair, insects, and even snails. This topic was quickly rushed to Weibo hot search, but the news in this regard was quickly deleted.

Yesterday (25th), at Lane 1781, Meinan Road, Meilong Town, Minhang District, someone also found that there were parasites in the lunch box distributed by the government. Watching the video, it was pretty scary.

[Original sound video] Look, at 12:15 on April 25, 2022, the lunch box issued by 1781 Meinan Road, this is a box lunch issued by the government, there are pork tapeworms. There are worms in this pork, you see, look, this worm, you see, the worms pulled out of the meat, pork tapeworms. It is the kind of "rice pork" that the old people in the family used to say. Then the government took this thing and sent it to us to eat.

The mayor of the Meilong town government in front of me got the stinky pork and gave us stinky pork after it was over. The mayor of Meilong Town has been dismissed and investigated. Now, this stinky pork, pork with bugs has returned, and he continues to harm us outsiders.
************************
Netizens said in an email that they got goosebumps when they heard the news at night. Thinking of eating pork and lion head for lunch, I can't wait to take a spoon and dig it out. Netizens said that since the school was closed, they have eaten a fixed set meal box lunch for more than a month. The price is not only more expensive than usual in the cafeteria, but also there is no choice.

Rice pork, as I said in previous shows, this kind of meat is inedible. After eating, the eggs will hatch into larvae under the action of gastric juice. Then the larvae will burrow into the intestinal wall tissue, and the blood will not be distributed to the whole body, and cysts like rice grains will grow in the muscle. This kind of thing will also be parasitic in the human heart, brain and eyes. If it grows in the eyes, it will cause blindness. If it grows in the brain, it will cause epilepsy and other diseases.

But Meilong Town gave this inedible rice and pork to outsiders and college students. I don't know if the authorities also eat this kind of meat for the people of Shanghai, so please pay attention to the people of Shanghai. Take a closer look at the food distributed by the government, whether it has been corrupted or not, whether it is rice or pork.

Everyone must remember that the CCP's harm is carried out unconsciously, and the killing is invisible. So everyone must look carefully, don't get caught up in the Dao, if you don't know it, just go in.

I believe that CCP officials will never give their family members such food. What they get must be the best, safe, and well-supplied. Even small neighborhood committees can have certain privileges.

People in Jiangqiao "rebellion", Putuo woman burnt paper for the government

On 26 April, netizens in Shanghai broke the news that people in Jiangqiao Town, Jiading District, "rebelled". The reason for the rebellion was that the neighborhood committee had secretly stored vegetables, which were discovered by people.

[Original video] They are fighting in Xinjiang Village, Jiangqiao Town, and they are making trouble. I don't know where the materials came from, where did the materials come from? Dozens of police came to no avail.

[Original sound video] The neighborhood committee hides vegetables, they hid a few boxes of vegetables inside, and they were found out. The chicken and meat had already been shipped in the morning, and now only the vegetables were left, rotten.
*********
It is very clear here that there are several boxes of vegetables in the neighborhood committee. There are chicken, meat, and vegetables. These are likely to be supplies from other places that should be distributed to residents, but the neighborhood committee hid them.

As I said before, relying on mountains to eat mountains, and relying on water to drink water. As a neighborhood committee, you have this advantage, and you can get the moon first. Whether the common people eat or not starve to death, it does not matter. As long as you and your family are not starving, you can hide a few boxes and eat slowly for yourself. Or give some to relatives and friends, or sell it back, and you can earn some extra money.

But in another video, Dabai's shouting has changed the essence of the problem. He described the issue of the neighborhood committee's collection of vegetables as a matter of how much or how little supplies were distributed. Then his solution was to reissue the supplies. There is no treatment for the neighborhood committee of Tibetan cuisine.

[Original sound video] Now I understand the general situation, I understand. I just had a phone call with your secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of Jiangqiao Town. We talked a few words about this guarantee. So now it's like this. You distribute materials on a household basis. This is what all our districts and all streets do.

But there are certain problems here. What is the problem? That is, if there are more people in the household, then he may have relatively few points, and there are certain problems with this guarantee. This is indeed a problem. I also mentioned it to the political and legal secretary of your street just now, so now, in two or three days, Jiangqiao Town will carry out a re-issuance of materials.
*********************
Dabai's handling is the same as that of the CCP. Anything that is unfavourable to CCP officials will be reduced to small matters and trivial matters. This is not a question of guaranteeing offerings, but a question of people's hearts turning bad. They were full and had no worries, while the people were so hungry their eyes were blue. The modern version of Zhumen wine and meat stinks, and the road has frozen bones. This situation is not an isolated phenomenon in Shanghai. As I have said many times, it is very common in Shanghai. How can people not rebel?

In the morning of 26 April, a woman from Putuo District burned paper money at the gate of her community, shouting loudly while burning. Very wise, she won supplies for herself and her neighbours in the same community.

[Original sound video] I am burning a memorial for you at the Oasis Apartment, Lane 1422, Tongchuan Road, and burning money for your death anniversary. I've been locked in there for a month, and I haven't eaten anything. I called, I called 12345 and no one answered me, and the street ignored me. We have the same seal, the same nucleic acid, why do we send two different things? what! Tianping Road Sub-district in Xuhui District is very good, right, what are we really like in the sub-district! ? So far there is no grain, oil or rice.

Mum and Dad, do you know I'm suffering here? The Litchi Apartment has nothing to send. Up to now, there is no grain, oil, or rice. Why do the same seals and controls require two different things? Putuo District is as shameless as a street, what did you send us? We have nothing so far.

It is not safe for us to buy in groups, we have to wait for the government to distribute supplies. We are waiting for the government to distribute supplies. For the sick, the elderly, the sick and the disabled, and neighbors, I did not offer sacrifices on April 5. Today, I brought my parents here to offer sacrifices.
********************
According to netizens, the auntie's community is directly opposite the Putuo District Government. The Tianping Road Street in Xuhui District she mentioned is the location of the Shanghai Municipal Government's Family Home.

After burning the paper in the morning, she distributed supplies to the community in the afternoon. Does a crying child get milk? If this aunt does not burn paper money for the CCP, will the Putuo District Government take any action? It seems that the paper money really worked.

This is just the material aspect we talked about today, in fact there are many more but let's talk about the difficulty of seeing a doctor in Shanghai.

Painful old man commits suicide, leukemia girl rejected

Shanghai reported on 26 April 2022 that there were 1,661 new confirmed cases and 15,319 asymptomatic infections yesterday, and the total number of infections continued to fall.

However, one more death was reported than yesterday, with 52 deaths reported today. Shanghai still blamed the "direct cause" of the death on the "underlying disease", claiming that "the primary disease progressed rapidly, and the rescue was ineffective."

I believe that the old man who hanged himself in Jinyang Third Neighborhood in Pudong, Shanghai, must not have been included in the figures reported by the authorities. Some netizens said that at the end of March, an old man who suffered from urinary calculi had been unable to seek medical treatment. Yesterday, he finally obtained the permission of the neighbourhood committee to go out to the community for medical treatment.

The family drove the car and took the elderly to the hospital to see a doctor. However, the roads in Pudong New Area are closed, and no traffic is allowed. There is no way but to return home. The old man was still in pain. He left a suicide note and hanged himself from a tree in the community.

On 25 April, there was also news that Meng Qinggong, the deputy chief designer of the CCP's large aircraft who supported Shanghai's closure of the city, died the night before. According to mainland media reports, Meng Qinggong suffered a myocardial infarction at around 9 pm on 24 April. After his wife sent him to the hospital, the rescue efforts failed.

Meng Qinggong's death is a huge loss to the CCP. Meng Qinggong is the deputy chief designer of the domestically produced aircraft "Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China CR929".

However, there are different views on Meng Qinggong's death. According to sources, Meng Qinggong called 120 after he had a sudden illness, but was unable to get in the ambulance. No way, his wife took him to the hospital, but he died on the way.

Meng Qinggong's classmates said in the chat group, "Old Meng couldn't get into the ambulance with a heart attack, so he went downstairs and died. Nine o'clock in the evening should not be too late. If it was normal in Shanghai before, there may be many people. I haven't left the office where I worked overtime. But now it's different. Lao Meng told us by his own departure that in Shanghai at 9 o'clock in the evening, it will be called Tian Tian not working, and Di Di should not. "

Some media pointed out that Meng Qinggong supported Shanghai's closure of the city and volunteered in his community. However, he eventually died prematurely because of the closure of the city, which made it impossible to rank 120.

Even the "excellent Communist Party members" and "great heroes" of the CCP have not escaped the secondary disasters brought about by the closure of the city, so ordinary people can imagine it even more.

A girl from Ningbo, Jiangsu, who was treated for leukemia in Shanghai, contracted the virus in a rental house with her mother, and has been unable to seek medical treatment. Under the coordination of relevant parties, Shanghai Ruijin Hospital finally indicated that it could provide them with diagnosis and treatment services. But yesterday (25th) morning went to the hospital, but was rejected.

According to the Qianjiang Evening News, Ruijin Hospital, a hospital for girls who treat leukemia, is located in Huangpu District. Although the girl and her mother live in Puxi, it is only a 10-minute walk from the hospital. The ambulance arrived downstairs at 5 am yesterday morning.

The girl and her mother got into the ambulance, but when they arrived at the emergency room of Ruijin Hospital, the nurse refused to let them in and suggested them to go to the fever clinic. The nurse said that once positive patients were admitted, the entire hospital would be shut down, telling them to "don't waste time here". No way, the girl and her mother were sent home by 120 again.

Strong man dies after 25 days of isolation

In the afternoon of 25 April 2022, Xiaozhang, a resident of Room 101, No. 2, Lane 1250, Zhenjin Road, Baoshan District, Shanghai posted a long Weibo. His father passed away suddenly, and Weibo recounted some situations before and after his father's death.

Xiao Zhang's father is only 52 years old than Zhang Qiwen. He has always been in good health and has no "underlying diseases". The day before yesterday morning, I suddenly received news that my father, who had been quarantined for 25 days at the isolation point, died suddenly.

His father had a nucleic acid test on March 27 and it was negative, but the community antigen self-test showed positive on March 28 the next day. So his father started self-isolation and no longer had contact with his family. On the 29th, the disease control came to do nucleic acid testing. On the 30th, it was determined that the nucleic acid was abnormal. On the 31st, he was taken to the isolation point on Jinshao Road, Luodian Town, Baoshan District. On April 4, Xiaozhang and his mother were taken to the hotel for isolation as a close contact, and returned to the community in a healthy manner on the 7th.

Xiaozhang introduced that from March 30 to April 24, his father said that he "never had any symptoms, neither fever nor sore throat, and even cough symptoms." During the first 7 days of quarantine, "the quarantine site did not care about anything other than managing meals. Nucleic acid was not done. I sent messages to the front desk, and did not call back. After a long period of time, only a few times of nucleic acid were done, and the result was There are yin and unresolved results.”

Xiaozhang said that because he didn't know what was going on in this quarantine point, why didn't he say the result after 25 days, and he didn't let anyone back. So Xiao Zhang's father was in a hurry, so he spent 75 yuan to buy 5 antigens from the front desk, and the self-test turned negative.

Xiaozhang said, "Dad is always optimistic, saying that he has no problem, maybe he made a mistake and will come back soon." Xiaozhang said that his father makes video calls at home every day and is in very good condition. He will give it to his family in the morning Good morning. At 7:29 p.m. on the day of his death, he also had a video chat with his family.

But yesterday (25th) morning, his father didn't send a message to the family for a long time, and no one answered the phone. Anxiously, I asked the neighborhood committee for the phone number of the isolation point, but there was no result. Later, he called the police through 110 and was transferred to Luodian police station. At about 9 am, Luodian Hospital called Xiaozhang and said that his father had passed away. The reason was said to be sudden death. He and his mother collapsed to the ground.

Xiaozhang posted a photo on Weibo, which should be a hospital computer screen. The "history of present illness" shown above is as follows: "The ambulance picked up the doctor and complained that the patient was unconscious without obvious incentives more than 40 minutes ago, and his breathing stopped while waiting for the ambulance. Heart sounds cannot be heard, and after 3 electric shocks and defibrillation There is still no spontaneous heartbeat, and is now rushed to the hospital. There was no vomiting, no limb convulsions, and no fever during the course of the disease."

Xiaozhang expressed a lot of doubts on Weibo. During the 25 days of his father's isolation, he did not ask any questions about the isolated patients and rarely did nucleic acid tests. Why didn't he inform the patients in detail? He doubted the cause of his father's sudden death, and wondered when the anomaly was discovered at the isolation point? Was it discovered in time? A normal person was quarantined, and a cold corpse was returned. What happened?

Xiaozhang said that he has rarely asked the neighborhood committee for help, and is very cooperative with the various arrangements of the neighborhood committee. But the fact is that after his father was taken away and quarantined, he never received any greetings from the neighborhood committee. Because of the family disinfecting, he asked the neighborhood committee for help, and in exchange, a certain secretary shouted impatiently and fiercely. Is this the attitude that the resident committee should have?

Xiaozhang wrote that the cause of his father's death is unknown. How to investigate the cause of death? How to deal with his father's funeral at this stage?

52 years old, in terms of age, is the stage of youth and vitality. Xiaozhang's father is usually in good health and has no underlying diseases. The nucleic acid test was negative for the first time, but the antigen test was positive the next day. Does this mean that Xiaozhang's father was infected during the nucleic acid test?

Several sporadic tests after being quarantined, some came back negative, while others did not. Why are the isolation points not tested on time, and why no results are given after the test? In 25 days, the average person is infected with Omicron, and it will return to normal in a few days. Why did Xiao Zhang's father quarantine for 25 days? Isolate people, but ignore the sick. Is this an isolation point or a prison?

All in all, do the authorities have to give an explanation? If you don't give the people a story, the people will give you a story. Even if the people don't tell you what to say, God will not forgive you.

Heavy rain and hail disrupted nucleic acid testing activities in Shanghai

Yesterday (25th) afternoon, Shanghai encountered strong convective weather, and heavy rain and hail fell in some areas. But the authorities still demand that the nucleic acid be continued. However, the 7-9 strong wind overturned the tent at the nucleic acid detection point, and it kept rolling in the strong wind.

Many netizens said that this abnormal astronomical phenomenon reflects that the CCP's tossing and mutilation of the people has caused anger and resentment. If it goes on like this, the bad guys will be struck by lightning.

300 million tax dollars burned! "Suddenly canceling the real joint system" she exploded: a waste of money and a dream

The domestic epidemic situation is severe, and the number of confirmed cases is increasing day by day. The command centre announced on 27 April that the covid epidemic has entered the stage of community epidemic, and the real-time text messaging system will be cancelled from now on, causing discussions from all walks of life. Taipei City Councilor Wang Hongwei fired a shot at this. At the beginning, the DPP made a big publicity and spent 300 million yuan of taxpayers' budget, but now the real joint system says it will quit, "A dream of spending money for nothing?"

Wang Hongwei criticized on Facebook on 28 April that the government had hyped it up and spent 300 million taxpayers. Now, how much help is there for the epidemic? In fact, it is impossible to grasp the overlapping time of the footprints, and the information cannot be unified. In fact, the epidemic investigation still requires the confirmed person to inform and fill in where he has been.

Wang Hongwei said that she had criticized in September 2021, when a breakthrough infection of pilots occurred in the Republic of China, and the command centre sent more than 1 million cell text messages, which were received by people whose footprints overlapped for two weeks. What is the actual meaning of the joint system?

And there are still many people complaining on the Internet that since the implementation of the real-link system, they have received fraudulent text messages almost every day, and even the real-link system has been used as a tool for investigating cases by the police. Now the command center calls the real-link system to say quit Retire, calling on everyone to switch to the "Taiwan Social Distancing APP", which made Wang Hongwei wonder, "The joint system is over, and it is changed to Taiwan social distancing. How much will it cost taxpayers this time? What is the actual effect?"

The epidemic has crushed China's economy. Experts: Xi Jinping's bet on infrastructure is risky


CCP China's economy has declined amid the epidemic. Xi Jinping has returned to the old road of investing in infrastructure. The local government has drawn up a list of thousands of projects. China plans to invest at least 14.8 trillion RMB this year but experts say that betting on infrastructure is not the way out for China's economy. Instead, it will push up debt and exacerbate financial risks.

Xi Jinping sets the tone for infrastructure, a new round of "big water release" is imminent
The official Xinhua News Agency reported that on April 26, Xi Jinping chaired a meeting of the Central Finance and Economics Commission, making infrastructure construction the focus of this year's economic development.

The meeting said that comprehensively strengthening infrastructure construction is of great significance to safeguarding national security, promoting "domestic and international dual circulation", and expanding domestic demand.

The CCP calls itself an "infrastructure madman", and investing in infrastructure has been an important means of pulling GDP up for many years.

Bloomberg in the United States recently compiled the announcements of the local government of the Chinese Communist Party and found that at the request of the central government, the local government has drawn up a list of thousands of "major projects". China's planned investment this year will reach at least 14.8 trillion yuan.

The authorities set the tone for investment in infrastructure, which means that a new round of "big water release" is imminent. On April 25, the Central Bank of China announced its first RRR cut plan this year, reducing the deposit reserve ratio of financial institutions by 0.25 percentage points, releasing about 530 billion yuan of long-term funds.

The industry expects that the central bank will cut the reserve ratio and interest rates again to ease the impact of the epidemic on the Chinese economy. Previously, in order to resolve debt risks and financial risks, the authorities once claimed that they would not engage in "flooding."

In terms of financing, the Central Finance and Economics Committee meeting stated that it is necessary to promote the standardized development of the cooperation model between the government and social capital, and guide social capital to participate in the investment and operation of municipal facilities.

The Epoch Times commentator Wang He said that according to this year's "Report on the Work of the Chinese Government", the scale of fiscal expenditure has increased by more than 2 trillion yuan compared with last year. At the same time, it is planned to arrange 3.65 trillion yuan of local government special bonds. The authorities hope to leverage private investment by betting on infrastructure and fuel economic growth through private investment.

However, he believes that betting on infrastructure is not the way out for China's economy.

Expert: Infrastructure investment pushes up debt risk

He Jiangbing, a Chinese financial scholar, told Radio Free Asia that Beijing is obviously forced to return to the old road of investing in infrastructure. "This is because the authorities have no other options. Consumption cannot be stimulated, because ordinary people have no money, especially since China's economy has declined significantly this year, and everyone is afraid to consume. Shanghai Port, the world's largest container terminal, and Pearl River Delta There are some problems in the triangular area, and there is insufficient construction, and there are problems in the industrial chain. Therefore, exports cannot be counted on, so we can only rely on infrastructure.”

He Jiangbing believes that if the CCP starts "big infrastructure" again, financing will be very difficult. "Private enterprises may not count on it, local governments are also overwhelmed, banks are subject to capital constraints, and they also face various assessment indicators related to non-performing loans."

Economist Li Hengqing, director of the Institute of Information and Strategy, a private organization in Washington, DC, told Radio Free Asia that in recent years, the Chinese government has cracked down on technology Internet companies, education and training, online games and other industries, as well as the political scrutiny of some private entrepreneurs. The persecution has made social capital more and more afraid of public power, and has weakened the enthusiasm of Chinese private capital to participate in infrastructure projects.

Wang He said that infrastructure construction not only does not significantly leverage private investment, but also increases the risk of government debt. In 2008, the Communist Party of China started the Great Leap Forward in infrastructure construction, which has become one of the main factors behind the sharp rise in China's macro leverage ratio (the ratio of a country's total debt to GDP) and the sharp increase in government debt.

He believes that infrastructure investment mainly comes from the government's special bonds that have been accelerated from the central to local governments. At present, the potential debt of the Chinese local government is huge, and it is most likely to trigger the financial crisis in China.

Infrastructure projects create debt traps

In addition, many infrastructure projects have created numerous debt traps, large and small. Take China's high-speed rail as an example. China's high-speed rail network is not only the largest in the world, but also rapidly expanding. By the end of 2021, the high-speed railway will exceed 40,000 kilometers. However, high-speed rail generally has the problems of low transportation volume, low transportation efficiency, idle transportation capacity, and operating losses.

According to the financial report of China Railway Corporation, the predecessor of China Railway Group, the company's debt increased from 1.89 trillion yuan at the end of 2010 to 5.28 trillion yuan at the end of September 2018. As of September 30, 2021, the National Railway Group had a debt of 5.84 trillion yuan, and the debt ratio increased from 65.84% in the same period last year to 66.14%.

But it is absurd that the CCP is still planning to build high-speed rail on a large scale. On February 24, 2021, the State Council issued the "National Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network Planning Outline", stating that by 2035, high-speed railways will reach 70,000 kilometers.

In January this year, the State Council issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System", stating that by the end of 2025, high-speed railways (including some intercity railways) will be about 50,000 kilometers, covering more than 95% of cities with a population of more than 500,000 .

Wang He: Xi Jinping is betting on infrastructure to fight for re-election at the 20th National Congress

Wang He believes that Xi Jinping's return to the old road of infrastructure construction is related to this year's 20th National Congress. 2022 is the "political year" of the CCP. Xi Jinping's third re-election requires political achievements and a certain economic growth rate. In order to stimulate economic growth and cope with the current economic recession, the authorities continue to follow the old path and bet on infrastructure but everyone who understands knows that this is "drinking poison to quench thirst".

Why does the CCP have to do this? Wang He said that an article in the Wall Street Journal gave another explanation: To demonstrate the superiority of the CCP’s one-party system, it must lead the U.S. economy.

On 26 April, the Wall Street Journal, citing multiple people familiar with the matter, disclosed that Xi Jinping recently asked officials to ensure that China's economic growth rate this year exceeds that of the United States. In the fourth quarter of last year, the U.S. economy grew by 5.5% year-on-year, surpassing the 4% growth rate of the Chinese economy in the same period.

The UN petition is useless! Singapore hangs Malaysian "mentally handicapped drug criminal"



The death penalty controversy has recently become a hot topic on social media in Singapore because the Singaporean government ignored the opposition and hanged a drug trafficker with mild intellectual disability. He was a Malaysian who entered Singapore in 2009 with 42.7 grams of heroin. Chinese law stipulates that possession of more than 15 grams of heroin is the only death sentence. However, his lawyers and family members claimed that the IQ of a man is only 69, which is far lower than that of ordinary people. However, the Singapore court rejected it because of insufficient evidence. After the man was executed, his body will be sent back to his hometown. This incident has caused heated discussions and dissatisfaction among the people of Singapore and Malaysia.

Protesters echoed, "No more! No more blood! No more blood on our hands!"

At night of 27 April, a large number of people held signs and gathered in Hong Lim Park (Hong Lim Park) in Singapore, waving to the music. The atmosphere was calm but sentimental, because they had petitioned for an unintelligent drug trafficker for many years, but the Singaporean authorities still maintain the position that the hanging was carried out in the morning of 27 April.

Protesters echoed, "What do we want? Justice! When? Now!"

Hong Lim Park was full of slogans, and some people called on the Singapore government to stop killing people. Why did this case attract so much attention from the public? Nagaenthran K Dharmalingam, 34, of Indian descent from Malaysia, entered Singapore in 2009 and was arrested for possessing 42.7 grams of heroin. He was sentenced to death by a Singapore court the following year. But his lawyers and family members questioned that Nagadran suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and has an IQ of only 69, below the normal range of 85 to 115; he was only 21 at the time of the crime because his father needed He was in a hurry to borrow RM500 from a friend for heart surgery, which was equivalent to NT$5,000 at the exchange rate at the time, but he was threatened by his friend to "bring something" to Singapore, otherwise he would hurt his girlfriend, so he had to obey.

Maya Foa, president of the abolition group Probation, said, "There are arguments that he didn't even know he was going to be executed, his last words were crying to find his mother, really, what the hell is this execution? Useful? Truly a tragedy."

Nagadran’s case has been tugging at the Singapore court for more than ten years. In 2015, he applied for a life sentence without the court’s permission. Thne it has been put on hold, and the covid epidemic has caused Singapore to suspend the execution of the death penalty for nearly two years, until October 2021. On 10 November, the court suddenly notified that Nagadran would be executed on 10 November, and the lawyer's urgent appeal was suspended. However, at a hearing in March t2022, the court still upheld the original verdict on the grounds that he failed to prove his lack of intelligence and finalized the execution on 27 April 2022.

The night before the executions, a large number of human rights groups gathered in Kuala Lumpur for a candlelight party next to the Singapore office, calling on the Singapore government to step aside and re-examine the death penalty norms. Malaysia, which still retains the death penalty, is only for serious crimes such as robbery, murder and sexual assault. Possessing a large amount of drugs will also be sentenced to death. The public believes that it is not to take drug offenders lightly, and hope that the Singapore court can reduce the punishment according to the situation.

Malaysians remarked, "The Singapore government is actually murdering the people, not maintaining the rule of law."

At night of 26 April, Nagadran's mother, who filed a legal challenge for her son at the last minute, stepped out of the gate of the Supreme Court of Singapore. She kept weeping and tears all the way because the Supreme Court still chose to reject. Nagadran must be put to death. The mother, relatives, friends and supporters hugged each other, did not speak to the media, and left the scene lonely.

Singapore supporter remarked, "I think it's heartening that more and more Singaporeans are starting to discuss the death penalty controversy, not on individual cases, but on the justice system as a whole."

Singapore is one of the few countries in the world that has the death penalty except for the United States, Japan and other countries. In particular, it imposes severe punishment on drugs. As long as drug traffickers and drug traffickers possess 15 grams of heroin, 30 grams of cocaine or 500 grams of marijuana, they will definitely be punished. Sentenced to death; also for murder, treason, kidnapping and arms trafficking. All executions will be executed at Changi Prison in Singapore, and an announcement will be issued after the execution, but this time the execution targets have mild intellectual disabilities, including the United Nations Human Rights Office, Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, and British Virgin Group founder Richard ‧Branson (Richard Branson) and others petitioned for him, but the Singapore government remained unmoved. The Ministry of Home Affairs of Singapore stated in early March that 66% of the people in the country support drug trafficking as a capital offense, and as many as 80% believe that the death penalty can deter crime in Singapore.

Rachel Chhoa-Howard, researcher at Amnesty International Malaysia, commented, "There is no evidence to support the Singapore government's claim that the death penalty is the solution to the country's drug problem. We call on the Singapore government to immediately stop the death penalty."

Nagadran's death did not end the death penalty controversy in Singapore. How can the judgment be balanced between law and favor? The issue has become a point of contention.
