河北疾控人员：中国Omicron和Delta正交叉感染

The outbreak in China has caused a large number of severe illnesses and deaths. Public opinion doubts that it is not a known Omicron strain. The staff of the Hebei Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention disclosed that in Hebei and Beijing, Omicron strain and its sub-variants are mixed with the Delta strain, and large-scale cross-infection has also caused more variants.

On 22 December 2022, Radio Free Asia quoted a researcher surnamed Li from the Handan City Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Hebei Province as saying that the sudden "relaxation" of epidemic prevention in various parts of China led to rapid cross-infection among people infected with the Omicron strain, accelerating the spread of the virus. The mutation, coupled with the fact that the Delta strain is still spreading and continues to mutate, has made the epidemic serious in China.

The researcher pointed out that because of the CCP’s long-term blockade, the strain did not have time to mutate from Delta to Omicron, so the two strains still coexist in China. After these two mutant strains enter the human body, they can infect the same cell at the same time, thereby aggravating the disease. Therefore, the death rate in mainland China may be higher than that in Hong Kong, Singapore and other regions.

The researchers also said that in the virus samples recently obtained from infected persons in Beijing, Hebei and other places, in addition to the Omicron variant BF.7, there is also the Delta strain, which is also mixed with other different strains, in so many different regions. The death rate is also different. Overall, the death rate in Beijing is higher than in other parts of China.

At present, the Chinese Communist Party only publicly admits that the main strain spreading in Beijing is BF.7, and claims that this strain is more contagious, occult, and more toxic than other Omicron variants.

According to a large number of news disclosed by netizens in various parts of China, the symptoms of the recently infected people are quite different from those during the previous lockdown period, including a very low proportion of asymptomatic people, most of them continued to have a fever, and many had severe pneumonia, and even a large number of "white lungs" were found , The sharp increase in the number of deaths has led to the collapse of the funeral system in many regions and so on.

In the past few days, Chinese netizens have been questioning that this is not the official Omicron symptom, so it is generally suspected that there are other variant strains mixed in, and many people even accused the Chinese government of "intentionally launching a new strain".

A few days ago, suspected medical staff broke the news that the Omicron variant BQ.1.1 known as "Cerberus" appeared in Beijing and caused multiple severe illnesses. The CCP’s official media immediately “dispelled the rumours” and said that although BQ.1.1 appeared in China, it “did not cause widespread transmission” and “the symptoms were not serious” and so on.

U.S. officials said that they are paying close attention to whether new mutated strains appear in CCP China after the CCP “relaxed” the epidemic prevention because no matter where there is a large-scale infection, it is easy to cause the virus to mutate.

Expert: If a new mutant strain appears in China, it will threaten the world

Reporter : Zhan Yongru / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/12/22/a103604513.html

                                

As the CCP virus mutates, its toxicity becomes weaker and weaker, but in northern China, people’s symptoms are quite severe. The outside world is concerned that a new, more threatening mutant strain has emerged in China. However, some experts believe that the CCP government's insufficient protection has caused the epidemic to be so severe.

Luo Yijun, deputy head of the medical response team of the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center, said that this is China's "first pandemic" and lacks previous vaccinations and herd immunity.

Luo Yijun, Deputy Head of the Medical Response Team of the Central Epidemic Command Center: "Many scientists in the world are a little surprised to say why BF.7 in Beijing seems to spread faster. It is only the first time that China has a pandemic, and it lacks some previously accumulated herd immunity, and the protection of previous vaccinations may also be relatively weak."

As for more than 130 Omicron variant strains and 50 subclades have been detected in China.

Zhang Shangchun, the vice president of National Taiwan University and the convener of the expert advisory group of the command center, said that attention should be paid to whether there are new variants of the virus and whether the death rate and morbidity rate have increased. If the virus does not change much, it will have little impact on Taiwan. Variations may be a threat to the whole world.

The CCP would rather see the epidemic out of control and reject the U.S. and Germany's vaccine assistance

Reporter : Li Yihong / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/12/22/a103604519.html

The epidemic in China has attracted international attention. The governments of the United States and Germany have successively expressed their willingness to provide assistance such as vaccines to help the Chinese people tide over the difficulties. However, the CCP government currently only allows ordinary people to be vaccinated, which has been questioned, with domestic vaccines.

The German government announced on the 21st that it has shipped a batch of BNT vaccine to China, where the outbreak is currently taking place.

However, the CCP authorities only allow German citizens in China to be vaccinated, and the number is about 20,000. In exchange, Chinese citizens in Europe and Germany will also be allowed to undergo Sinovac vaccination.

German government spokesman Herb Strait: "I can confirm that a batch of BioNtech vaccines is on its way to China, or if the plane lands as planned, it will arrive in China in a few minutes."

Compared with the world that is gradually returning to normal, the epidemic situation in China has been seriously out of control recently, and governments of various countries have increased their attention to the epidemic situation in China.

When German President Steinmeier spoke with Xi Jinping on the 20th, he was particularly concerned about the current epidemic situation in China. However, according to a report by the German media "Der Spiegel", Steinmeier proposed to Xi Jinping that Germany could provide vaccines to help fight the epidemic, but was rejected.

In addition to Germany, the U.S. government also proposed to China a few days ago that it is willing to provide vaccine assistance, but it was also rejected by the Chinese authorities. State Department spokesman Price said that the United States does not want death and disease to spread anywhere, and is concerned that a variant virus may reappear.

U.S. State Department spokesman Price said, "We stand ready to continue supporting people around the world, including in China, with this and other COVID-related medical support. This time. For us, it’s not about politics, it’s not about geopolitics, it’s about saving people’s lives and livelihoods.”

The epidemic broke out in Beijing, and the local crematoriums and hospitals showed tragic scenes. Following the previous online news that the local cremation in Beijing had to wait for a month, some Beijing netizens broke the news on 22 December 2022 that the funeral parlors in Beijing are no longer able to park the corpses, so they can only contact other local crematoriums for cremation.

On the 22nd, a netizen named "Beijing" "Cong Peiyi" posted on Weibo, claiming that his grandmother passed away at noon on the 22nd. He called all the funeral parlors in Beijing but they couldn't receive them because "the funeral parlors can no longer accommodate them. There is no place for a dead body."

The netizen said, "After inquiring and contacting with the whole family, I got in touch with a county in Hebei that can be cremated." Finally, there was a sigh.

On 21 December 2022, a video showed that in Chengde, Hebei, there were hundreds of vehicles queuing up to transport corpses every day.

A few days ago, a netizen in Chaoyang District broke the news in the circle of WeChat friends that the funeral parlor was unable to handle the sudden increase of remains. All crematoriums in Beijing now say that cremation will take at least one month. But if you find a way to jump in line, the cheapest cremation will cost 30,000 RMB.

The man had called several funeral homes to inquire. He said, "There are numbers for all the crematoria in Beijing at the gate of the hospital mortuary. The hospital said you should call them. The fastest cremation will take a month. I called four crematoria just now. Phone calls, none of them got through. All 'on call'."

In the past few days, videos of hospitals and mortuaries in funeral parlors in Beijing and other parts of the mainland have been circulated wildly on the Internet, showing that there are overcrowded "corpses" everywhere.

On the 22nd, a video was circulated on the Internet, allegedly from a hospital in Beijing. The video showed a patient lying on the ground unable to move but no one stepped forward to help.

CCP Internal Document: 250 million people infected by the epidemic, most of the dead are Communist Party Members

Reporters : Li Mei, Zhang Ruizhen and Rong Yu / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/12/22/a103604517.html

According to the minutes of the 21st meeting of the Chinese Communist Party’s National Health Commission, nearly 250 million people across the country were infected with the epidemic in 20 days. In addition, senior CCP officials and retired cadres have also died intensively in recent days but the mouthpiece media tried their best to avoid it, did not mention the infection of the virus, and only said that "the treatment is ineffective."

According to a report from the Central News Agency, a summary of the meeting of the National Health Commission on the 21st stated that it is estimated that the number of new infections in China on 20 December will be nearly 37 million, and the number will continue to increase every day; from 1 to 20 December, the cumulative number of infected people has reached 248 million, accounting for 17.56% of the total population.

CCTV reported on the 22nd that the number of beds in the emergency room of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital increased from 16 to 70, and the number of fever clinics increased from 94 to 1,623. Since the CCP has always concealed the epidemic, the actual number is still unclear.

In the past 15 days, the Chinese Communist Party's National Health Commission has only reported seven deaths from the epidemic but funeral homes in various places are full.

Some netizens said that the obituaries in the past few days are the densest he has seen in his life.

A person from the political and legal system in Beijing: "Including those old people who were delayed to death in the hospital, some of them are of very high rank. I know at least six of them above the department level."

Many of the obituaries released by the mainland media are senior CCP officials or retired cadres, including Liu Ji, former deputy director of the National Sports Commission of the CCP, Cao Fengqi, a well-known Beijing economist, and Zhou Zhichun, former deputy director of China Youth Daily, all of whom are members of the CCP.

Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong, clearly stated in the article "Rationality" published on 19 March  2020: "Plagues like the 'CCP virus' (Wuhan pneumonia) came with a purpose and purpose. It is to weed out members of the evil party and those who walk with the wicked CCP."

Virus finds party members, Zhongnanhai sets up cremation line, white lung makes a comeback

Reporter : Ruili / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/12/23/a103604768.html / Image : Video Screenshot

The outbreak of the epidemic in China has made funeral parlours and crematoria "difficult to find" among the people. However, the top leaders of the Communist Party of China have set up a special line for the cremation of Zhongnanhai's remains. 

Since December, the epidemic in mainland China has spread out of control. In the despair and panic of seeking medical treatment and buying medicine, many people have begun to notice that during this round of epidemic, the death of high-level officials in the CCP system, well-known experts, scholars, and entertainers , an unprecedented number.

A person from the political and legal system in Beijing: "Including those old people who were delayed to death in the hospital, some of them are of very high rank. I know at least six of them above the department level."

According to incomplete statistics, as of 21 December, 42 CCP academicians have died of illness, most of whom are CCP members.

According to media reports on the 21st, Zhang Guocheng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and an expert in the smelting and separation of rare earth metals in China, died in Beijing. As a member of the Communist Party of China, Zhang Guocheng has repeatedly declared that he "lives up to the party's training for me."

The day before, Hu Jun, a member of the Communist Party of China who was touted by the official media as a famous "Marxist theorist" of the Communist Party of China, also died in Beijing due to illness and treatment.

According to statistics released by netizens, a total of 18 senior CCP officials, experts, and celebrities have died since last week. Another Peking University netizen disclosed that in just a few days, five professors at Peking University died, and said that 2022 may be the year with the most teachers dying in the school's history.

According to the CCP’s official media reports, on 20 December, Zhang Fuqing, the recipient of the “Medal of the Republic” and a veteran of the CCP, passed away in Wuhan, Hubei due to illness and treatment that failed.

It is worth mentioning that, at a time when private funeral homes and crematoria are "hard to find", this party member can openly conduct a "farewell ceremony for the remains".

Netizens even revealed that senior officials who died in Zhongnanhai have set up "exclusive cremation channels" and even "specialized cremation furnaces" at the Babaoshan funeral parlor.

Netizens commented: "Is there any difference between the stove that burns the ass and the stove that burns the officials?"

Some netizens also questioned why the virus was so fierce that so many high-ranking officials and celebrities gathered together to "die of illness"?

Famous commentator Li Dayu: "This virus epidemic is aimed at the Communist Party and its followers."

When the prevention and control of the epidemic was relaxed, the CCP authorities once publicized that the Omicron virus only infects the upper respiratory tract and does not damage the lungs.

However, recently, a large number of people broke the news on Weibo that people infected with the epidemic have been diagnosed with severe pneumonia, and even have extreme "white lung" symptoms. Those who broke the news include medical staff, family members of the deceased, and family members of "white lung" patients who asked for help online.

Among them, Chinese economist Mei Xinyu posted on 20 December that the wife of Hu Angang, a well-known Chinese leftist scholar, just announced that her father died in the morning, and covid caused pneumonia. During the CT scan in the hospital, 1/4 of the lungs were already white.

On December 22, a netizen broke the news on Twitter that a patient in Beijing was hospitalized for a week, his lungs were completely white, and he died of respiratory failure.

Earlier, many netizens broke the news on Weibo that their family members had symptoms of "white lung".

"White lung" was a typical symptom of patients when the epidemic broke out in Wuhan three years ago. It refers to that when a patient with severe pneumonia undergoes an X-ray examination, the lungs show a large white area, indicating that the lungs have been severely eroded by inflammation, and the patient's life is greatly threatened.

Faced with a large number of white lung patients, netizens questioned whether the CCP has concealed the new mutated strain.

In addition, affected by the outbreak of the epidemic, public institutions in many places in China have been forced to suspend business operations or adjust their opening hours.

People in Chongqing: "Many bus drivers here have been infected with the virus positive, and then many buses have stopped operating."

On 22 December, the news about "severe staff reduction in public institutions in many places" topped Baidu's hot search list.

A courier in Shijie, Dongguan, Guangdong: "Shijie Zhongtong is completely paralyzed, don't think about getting the express, you can't get it."

People in Wuhan: "This is your express delivery."

On 21 December 2022, the Chang'an District Labor and Employment Management Service Center in Xi'an City issued a notice saying, "Because many employees were covi-positive and the number of employees was seriously reduced," the office hall was no longer able to handle business offline, and had to announce the suspension of external offices."

In addition, public institutions in Puyang, Henan, Binzhou, Shandong, and Baodi District, Tianjin have successively announced the suspension of business operations. The National People's Congresses in many places were also forced to announce the postponement or compression of the sessions.

Deaths surge in northern China amid fears of new strain

In northern China, the number of deaths has increased sharply, and people's symptoms after infection are also quite serious. In Beijing, Hebei and other places, some elderly people have developed lung infections, with white cloudy spots and fibrosis to varying degrees.

Mei Xinyu, a Chinese economist, also posted on Weibo, mentioning that a CT image of a relative of a celebrity before his death showed that 1/4 of his lungs had turned white.

Man-made disasters and natural disasters under the CCP rule, where is the way out?

In addition, many experts pointed out that the CCP government did not make any protection before opening up, which also made the impact of the epidemic even heavier.

Wen Zhao, a senior current affairs commentator: "Where is the problem in China? Man-made disasters are more severe than natural disasters. This natural disaster has not yet reached its peak. It is man-made disasters combined with natural disasters that make the consequences very serious. The reason is this. What the government does."

The three-year "clean up" campaign has severely damaged people's livelihood and the economy. The CCP government, which is supported by taxpayers, has lost its trust in the people. During the winter flu season, authorities rushed to lie flat. As time went on, the consequences became more dire. As a major exporter, medicines and clinical equipment are insufficiently prepared; hospitals are overcrowded; blood banks are in urgent need; funeral parlours are overloaded 24 hours a day;

Amidst all kinds of chaos, people seek self-protection one after another.

Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong, warned in the article "Rationality" in March 2020: "In fact, the plague itself is aimed at people's hearts, morality has deteriorated, and karma has increased." Those who walk together with the wicked CCP."

Mr. Li Hongzhi pointed out, "People should sincerely repent to God. If there is anything wrong with them, they hope to give them a chance to correct their mistakes. This is the way, and this is the panacea."

The Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP stated that following the wave of people opposing the CCP, more and more people have quit the CCP, leagues, and teams. As of the 22nd, the number of people who have withdrawn from the CCP has exceeded 406 million.

Yi Rong, Chairman of the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP: "Buddhas, Taoists and gods look at people's hearts, because you want to spurn the Communist Party in your heart, and this is all effective. This is a life-saving prescription. I hope that compatriots in the mainland will use it quickly, and also use it quickly. I hope everyone can spread the word and declare to withdraw from the CCP regiment and team as soon as possible.”
