What is wrong with this China? Do they really believe that you can stop this virus? That is impossible. Stop trying to eradicate and start living with it!
We know that China is leading the world in this New World Order super-control of it's citizens. Perhaps that is the reason why they are so determined to stop this virus, because it would mess with their plans?
Authorities in the central Chinese city, where the global pandemic began last year and whose cases account for more than 80 per cent of the country's total, started the campaign this week after a cluster of new cases raised fears of a second wave of infections.
While Wuhan lifted its 76-day lockdown last month, concerns persist over how many asymptomatic cases — people who show no symptoms but are capable of spreading the virus — there may be.
In Wuhan's Qiaokou district, at the Zirun Mingyuan apartment community where about 10,000 people live, men, women and children stood under umbrellas while elderly residents perched on stools as they waited to get tested at four sites set up in the compound.
Authorities say they aim to test all 11 million residents, though the priority are people from 12 categories, such as school, medical, transport, supermarket and government workers and people returning from overseas or leaving Wuhan for work.
One test site was made up of two tables. At the first table, a volunteer took down identification details. The other was staffed by two nurses dressed in face shields, gloves and hazmat suits, one of whom took throat swabs from residents.
Some people expressed concern that they could catch the virus through the testing exercise, by standing in the queues.
Wuhan has a daily testing capacity of 100,000 and 63 agencies that could process nucleic acid tests.
While the exercise would likely cost Wuhan more than 1 billion yuan ($220 million), it would help find possible sources of infection and provide reassurance for work resumption purposes and to other provinces receiving travellers from Wuhan, said state-owned newspaper Health News.
Reuters reports the city planned to conduct the campaign over 10 days, citing an internal document to district officials.
A local government official said city districts could conduct tests at their own pace for now as the city health authority had yet to issue a notice about officially starting the tests.
Others said testing on such a large scale posed its own challenge.
"You need to make sure not one single sample is mistaken with another," said Chen Guangjie, an immunology professor at Shanghai Jiaotong University.
While a shortage of testing kits was blamed for slowing China's response to the outbreak in the early days, by March tests were relatively easy to obtain at Wuhan's hospitals and clinics and residents were told they could get their results by a mobile app.
Since Wuhan's lockdown was lifted on April 8, the city has conducted an average of 47,422 tests a day and more than 1.66 million tests in total, according to Reuters calculations based on health authority reports.
Wuhan tested 67,026 people on May 13, the second-highest level since it started publishing data on February 21.
