This photo taken on January 7, 2021 shows the authorities declaring a seven-day home quarantine in Shijiazhuang, Hebei province, after an outbreak of Wuhan pneumonia in the city, where “people will not move, gather, or leave their communities and villages.
After two cities in Hebei province declared “city closure,” Shijiazhuang and Xingtai, the capital of Hebei province, as well as Xinji and Dingzhou (county-level cities) have declared a seven-day home quarantine for the entire population, with “no movement, no gathering, and no leaving the community or village. But the local 9 still broke out at least 46 people infected with the epidemic, sealing the city fears have been unable to seal the spread of the virus.
20 million people in Hebei are in home quarantine, and confirmed cases continue to be diagnosed.
Shijiazhuang, with a population of more than 11 million, and Xingtai, with a population of more than 7 million, announced on January 9 that they had completed universal nucleic acid testing for three days from the early hours of the 6th to 12:00 p.m. on the 8th, and that Shijiazhuang had detected a total of 354 positive people. The test results have the characteristics of “high concentration” and “strong correlation”. The positive test results were concentrated in Gao Cheng District, where the epidemic is most serious, with 298 positive reactions, reaching 87% of the total number of positive reactions. The 11 districts, including Xinle High-tech Zone, Zhengding County, Qiaoxi District, Wuji County, Yuhua District, Chang’an District, Xinhua District, Luquan District, Xingtang County and Zhao County, had a total of 46 positive reactions, amounting to 13% of the total.
Shijiazhuang and Xingtai have implemented “city closures” and all vehicles are not allowed to leave the city. As the outbreak continued to escalate, Shijiazhuang and Xingtai declared a seven-day quarantine of the city’s population on Jan. 9, and all local supermarkets suspended operations, leaving residents to buy essential goods online. Later, Dingzhou, with a population of more than 1 million, and Xinji, with a population of more than 800,000, also joined the “seven-day quarantine” on the same day.
Despite this, the epidemic in Hebei seems to be out of control, with 46 confirmed local cases in Hebei between 0 and 24:00 on January 9, including 44 cases in Shijiazhuang (27 asymptomatic to confirmed cases) and 2 cases in Xingtai (asymptomatic to confirmed cases). In addition, there were 13 cases of local asymptomatic infections, all of which were patients in Shijiazhuang.
80% of vaccine reports in China are general adverse reactions
As for the vaccine part, Zeng Yixin, deputy director of China’s National health Commission, said on September 9 that the mainland has so far administered more than 9 million doses of the Wu Lung vaccine, which proves the safety of Chinese vaccines. But Wang Huaqing, chief expert on immunization planning at the CDC, said that according to the monitoring results, “80% of the reports are general adverse reactions, of which 6 out of 100,000 are abnormal reactions, and most of the abnormal reactions are allergic rashes, and of course there are other allergic reactions, including angioedema and other adverse reactions.”
Although China has grabbed the volume and speed to develop the Wu Lung vaccine in an attempt to reverse the stigma of the epidemic, the criteria for approving the authorization for emergency use of the vaccine has still been repeatedly questioned by outsiders.
Earlier, the latest electronic version of the manual for the vaccine developed by Sinopharm showed that the vaccine, with the trade name “Zhong Ai Ke Wei” and an approval date of December 30, 2020, showed that 73 side effects existed after people received the vaccine, and even a few people who received the vaccine may experience symptoms such as High blood pressure, vision loss, loss of taste, delayed menstruation and urinary incontinence.
Some “insiders” have also warned to “wait for others to finish” before deciding whether or not to get the vaccine, and the fact that the domestic vaccine has a long history of blackmail, and that no senior Communist Party officials have taken the lead in vaccination, following the example of Western leaders, has led many to worry about the safety and effectiveness of the domestic vaccine.
According to Radio Free Asia, hundreds of expatriate employees of Chinese state-owned enterprises have been infected with the vaccine in Uganda and Angola in Africa and Serbia in Europe after receiving the vaccine from Sinopharm.
