In #Beijing, the queues to get a PCR test are back to being very long and slow tonight. Daily test results are still needed to enter public buildings but the authorities have again suddenly closed a whole lot of testing stations, others only open for a few hours in the morning.
Which brings us to this week’s Friday beverage O’Clock track, dedicated to everyone in #China still enduring #ZeroCovid restrictions. Trouble in My Brain… crank it up and don’t go insane!
I’ve been queueing for 40 minutes already. This station closes in 20 minutes. Lots of people behind me are going to be very angry after they’ve queued for so long in the winter & can’t even get a test. A little kid is riding his bike up and down the line saying “not enough time”. Image

As Tianhe district in #Guangzhou faces sharply rising number of cases in recent days and as a sudden lockdown looms, large number of students have reportedly been sent home by schools and on Weibo, there are many posts about the train station packed with stranded passengers.
One netizen wrote about how he hasn’t slept for an entire night, has been waiting for the PCR result for 16 hours without a success, can’t get on his train to leave so he has to cancel his ticket and he is still waiting for his pcr test result at the bus stop.
“I’m cold, stranded, tired and hungry yet I have to prevent things from being stolen. I’m feeling terrible,” he wrote.

Anyone banking on #ZeroCovid being wound back in #China soon, allowing the Chinese economy to bounce back, restoring supply chain reliability here in the near future… don’t. It’s going to take a looong time for China to ease #ZeroCovid.
The government in #China doesn’t seem to know exactly how to escape from the #ZeroCovid corner it’s painted itself into. This will be a long, drawn-out, process of trial and error easing, restricting, easing, restricting.
The huge, renewed, vaccination drive which would be needed before opening #China up hasn’t even started. Approving more effective international vaccines would help. Preparing medical facilities for a big influx of #Covid patients would also have to happen.

Petit survol en drone du nouveau centre de quarantaine international de #Guangzhou qui ouvre ses portes le 20 septembre, en prévision de la prochaine ouverture aux voyageurs étrangers. Moins fun que celui du @PGATOUR ou du centre des Dallas Cowboys.

1/4

257.800 m² et 5.000 chambres payantes avec TV, internet, air conditionné et salles de bain privée. Les dimensions des chambres vont de 18m² pour la plus économique jusqu'à 36m² pour une famille souhaitant s'isoler en quarantaine ( 14 jours + 7 jours ) ensemble.

2/4
La réalisation de cet énorme complexe vise à améliorer les conditions d'arrivées des étrangers, mais aussi à limiter le nombre de contaminations et de clusters naissants provoqués par le personnel en charge du ménage ou des livraisons des repas dans les actuels hôtels Covid

#Covid19 drove hundreds of Africans out of Guangzhou. A generation of mixed-race children is their legacy

""Now it is very, very quiet," Dieng says of Little Africa, a nook of #Guangzhou."

""China wants to be the middleman and not have Africans (in its borders)," says Mathews, author of "The World in Guangzhou." "So it would make much more sense for the Chinese merchants to move to Africa, rather than having the Africans go to China."

Meanwhile in #France,
"the peak of this second wave is over"

(according to the President in his Adress to the Nation):
Wait... "the peak is over" doesn´t mean "it´s back to normal"!

Confinement will only fall on December 15,
if there´s less than 5.000 new cases a day.
(today it´s ~9.000).

France is disappointed.🙁

Although they certainly can make it happen.
Meanwhile in #Switzerland:
(excess mortality of the second wave is significant)

Good news: fastest decrease in infections happens in the worst hit areas now.

As #COVID19 cases are found to spread, #Melbourne (city of ~5 million) tries to contain them by going into #Lockdown.
(The interview features the idea of a dedicated #Quarantine building - that would actually help, I guess)...
"People acting as if the pandemic was over was 'not the answer, it is part of the problem' ".

"The virus had leaked from postcodes already under the stay-at-home orders to other parts of #Melbourne."
(and beyond, it is feared).
Due to #Melbourne's outbreak, neighbouring South Australia is about to completely close it's borders to #Victoria.

(Nearly) no exceptions. And those essential few who are allowed in, will have to wear facemasks the entire time...

(If you don't care about geopolitics, kindly scroll through.)
Living in Taiwan, I am obviously watching #China with great interest. And what I see is an unmitigated PR disaster that will have an enormous impact on the country even short term, more so long term. 1/n
If you are not familiar with Chinese culture, the most important thing you should know is "face". It doesn't matter how bad the situation is internally, the only thing you can't afford to lose is your "face". Appearing weak, being criticized, God forbid being laughed at. 2/n
Combine this with the extreme inertia of a Communist regime and you get the worst possible mix. A country that can't face its failures internally AND externally, and can't correct its course. #China, now as we speak, is digging herself into a very deep hole. 3/n
