Hong Kong Covid Cases: Thousands Flee to Mainland China ...

https://www.bloomberg.com › news › articles › thousan...
Feb 18, 2022 — Thousands Fleeing to Mainland China as Hong Kong Outbreak Widens · People are turning to scalpers for mainland quarantine spots · China is largely ..

Chinese officials are also fearful the influx of people fleeing Hong Kong will bring cases to the mainland and have tightened measures around the southern border. All flights from Zhuhai -- which has a crossing with Hong Kong -- to Beijing have been suspended to prevent infections from spreading.

Since January, Shenzhen has made arrivals from Hong Kong undertake 14 days of hotel quarantine plus seven days home isolation, up from a previous policy of a week in a hotel and a week at home.

But the onerous rules are doing little to deter people. Quarantine hotel rooms in Shenzhen and Zhuhai are in such high demand that travelers are turning to scalpers to help secure bookings, a finance industry worker told Bloomberg News, asking not to be identified due to privacy concerns.

The person plans to return to the mainland next week out of concern that a lockdown will take away business opportunities in Hong Kong, and also for his child’s safety.

Others are looking to less legal means. Shanghai police are investigating a Chinese citizen who tested positive for Covid after allegedly entering illegally from Hong Kong.

Authorities in southern Chinese cities including Zhuhai, Dongguan and Huizhou are offering cash rewards of as much as 500,000 yuan ($79,000) to anyone who provides information about people illegally entering the mainland, which is occurring mainly by boat, state-run Yangcheng Evening News reported on Thursday, citing police circulars.
 
This was a formerly virus free zone ..............

Is it coming to the USA? Mask mandates will be back soon. The Virus is still here as are the anti vexers, anti maskers and anti social distance people and blah blah blah

Politicians should not be considered the voice of reason on vary many things. Vote out 85% of incumbents every election.
 
I thought COVID was over?
 
And the ALEC GOP said it was nothing of concern it will blow over..... I have been predicting 1 million dead humans as a result of COVID 19 and associated variants by March 1st...... today is Feb 26

United States​

Coronavirus Cases:​

80,543,587

Deaths:​

972,416

 
Covid and associated variants are still alive and well in the USA and will be until the antivaxers get on board

And while some are saying there is improvement how could that be without masks.......

How many times does it take to realize how effective the mask has been.....

When america becomes relaxed about the mask mandate another surge takes place......

I am not giving up the mask for a long time to come......

In fact if "stores" are not enforcing a mask mandate there is no reason for me to enter.....
