PCR tests have been considered useless in the US and have been abandoned. In France we know that the way they were used, with a lot of cycles, was just absurd. COVID 'cases' are thus absurd...
None of what is happening in China with handling of a novel flu named COVID makes sense to me. NONE, ZERO, ZILCH. Do Chinese get more affected by it than people in other nations? I don't think so. Is Chinese government so protective of the Chinese people that they care about their well-being more than anyone else? I don't think so either. I think that society there that was becoming used to economic and social freedoms, gradually released since events at Tiananmen square, is being pushed back by authorities into a narrower corridor of obedience that China sees as necessary for the coming turbulent times. Chinese people are pushing back by noncompliance, but long gone are the days when the people of China were bold enough to take up arms to resist Western and Japanese colonial powers.
i think the basic idea of testing 20 people to find cases is sound - as long as you do the second part and re-test the 20 in which you found a positive is an effective way to test lots of people. In Hong Kong i know they are testing the waste water in certain buildings to gather whether they should test all of the occupants. as a test subject i sure prefer the idea of testing gross numbers before the pain of testing everyone in the building.
COVID: "In other words: It is not dangerous."
No, that is a misunderstanding "Self-limiting" diseases can kill and cause longterm damage, e.g flu.
I know a guy who'd been to every provincial capital in China who described Zhengzhou as "the worst city in China", it's easy to see why now.
Like always, very interesting.

Look at these points together:
- Foxconn produces iPhones for Apple, a US corporation
- At the start of the party congress in Beijing, the Foxconn plant went into “closed-loop” mode
- Hu Jintao, the former pro-US president of China, was publicly removed from the party congress
I see a completely different picture of what lockdowns are about.
