All Chinese should migrate to Caucasian countries and make more Chinatown 😂😂😂
Testing is flawed and results can be faked…GET BOOSTED 🦠 As COVID-19 spreads across China, it is highly likely to create new variants that will spread to other countries, so stay up-to-date on your booster vaccines 💉
“MYTH: The natural immunity I get from being sick with COVID-19 is better than the immunity I get from COVID-19 vaccination.
FACT: Getting a COVID-19 vaccination is a safer and more dependable way to build immunity to COVID-19 than getting sick with COVID-19.
A COVID-19 vaccine might:
1. Protect you from getting COVID-19
2. Prevent you from becoming seriously ill, becoming hospitalized or dying due to COVID-19
3. Limit the spread of COVID-19
The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine is 94% effective in preventing COVID-19 with symptoms. The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is 91% effective in preventing severe illness.
Current studies show that natural immunity to the coronavirus weakens (wanes) over time, and does so faster than immunity provided by COVID-19 vaccination.
The highly transmissible Omicron strains, mainly BA.5.2 and BF.7 are currently spreading in China and likely to mutate.
1. COVID-19 vaccine boosters can further enhance or restore protection that might have decreased over time.
2. People are protected best from severe COVID-19 illness when they stay up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines, which includes getting all recommended boosters when eligible.
3. One in 5 patients with symptoms and confirmed COVID received a negative rapid antigen result.
4. PCR tests, which look for genetic material from the coronavirus, can also produce a false negative if you have a low viral load at the time.”

Great news
And here we go again for 3 years 😂
With this new variant, it means more potential job openings. Thanks Covid!!! 😂
China requires a negative test also to enter HK or China Not that anyone is rushing to get there 😂
I talked to a woman from China who tested positive for covid. She said she still wanted to make the trip. She entered L.A. and checked into a travellers hostel. The entitlement is unreal.
New Zealand parliament announced 'Imposing entry restrictions on travellers from China was not "required or justified".'
Western media report China's Covid measures are Earth's strictest then claim China's low Covid death rate is a lie.
Covid deaths = USA 1,120,040 Mexico 331,206 UK 198,937 Canada 48,948 China 5,259 New Zealand 3,568.
Good job on the freedom USA. 😂 this comes after USA instigated covid measure protest in China. The jokes on the protesters that got freedom but than got handed tyranny by the protest supporters. Weird how democracy works when racism is involved. But not white supremacy because Indians can still go without tests
Trump does this he’s xenophobic. Biden does this he’s a hero. You can’t make this stuff up. Lmao
Nazis and commies both 💕 face masks and lockdowns. Which one are you?
I'm terrified for my friends and family that took the quadruple you know what.
The truth is even if we do go back to 2020 the days of lockdowns are over people will just die there is nothing else we can do to prevent the spread even if it does become deadly we will all just understand that if that alphabet soup deadly immune-evasive variant of SARS-COV-2 that is not in the omicron family does as we worry become more severe, and deadlier we can’t cancel events, and lockdown because COVID-19 is here to stay no matter how deadly it gets. We just have to realize that we all will die, and we can’t lockdown anymore. what happened in 2020 will never happen to us again. Not in our lifetime.
They should also test these Chinese travelers upon arriving! Why should anyone trust their test results? They could have been forged!
GOOD!!!!
My Prayers goes out to the Chinese Citizens…. BUT…. We Needed to Put Restrictions in place for our Country to protect us from whatever this new varience is.
Thus was considered racist when Trump suggested it… so it's fair game now? Crazy
This is staged, the released the Chinese into the wild to enforce digital passports for everyone and digital Id. Now we know what APEC summit and g20 was about
All Chinese should migrate to USA, sharing and giving to the West 😂😂😂
The Chinese are contaminating the world. As always
Thank you. Because we will be back to where we were in 2020. There is a lot of people in the UNITED states who didn't get the vaccines.
Racism
A little too late now.
Get the jab be on a slab.
" I will end the covid once im elected as president ": Joe BIden.
