Hebei province is the hardest hit by the current outbreak of the Chinese Communist Party virus (NCPV), with Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital, being the worst hit. Official media said that a large number of teachers and students in Shijiazhuang have been diagnosed, involving not only at least 30 colleges and universities, but also communities.
According to incomplete statistics, of the 779 cumulative confirmed cases in Shijiazhuang as of 24:00 on Jan. 19, there were 75 teachers and students, and 12 school employees, for a total of 87 people, involving at least 30 schools, Surfing News reported Jan. 21. This does not include the number of asymptomatic infections, which were not reported.
For example, a 15-year-old boarding high school student was first diagnosed on Jan. 5 at Gaocheng District No. 7 Middle School in Xiaoguozhuang Village, a local high school with a high promotion rate, followed by students, teachers and school cafeteria workers.
The Xiaoguozhuang Elementary School, which is next to the seventh middle school, and the Nanzhai Village Elementary School, which is in the next village, both had a number of students infected with the disease. After a teacher of a middle school in Xiaoguozhuang village was notified of the disease on January 7, the neighborhood where he lives was closed and cases were reported in the same neighborhood.
Official media said that the youngest known case is 4 years old and attends Liu Jia Zuo village central kindergarten, which was found to be infected on Jan. 13. Several other college students, who attended Langfang Normal College in Hebei, Handan Vocational and Technical College and a university in Shijiazhuang, as well as students studying at a university in Nantong and Wuhan, Jiangsu.
This statistic has raised concerns that the Epidemic is out of control in Hebei. The schools are clustered and dense, making it easy for the virus to spread quickly, and the schools where the cases were found are located in different cities.
However, the official media reported that the Shijiazhuang Education Bureau had asked the city’s primary and secondary schools and kindergartens to suspend offline education and teaching as early as Jan. 5, and that the trajectory of teachers and students infected with the disease showed that many of them did not return to school before being diagnosed, while others showed signs of illness at designated isolation sites.
In other words, the official media tried to show that although a large percentage of students and teachers were infected with the disease, it was not actually a campus infection, which was basically just a coincidence.
But this disguised disinformation did not relax the public, as the official concealment of the Wuhan outbreak has been discredited, and the incubation period of the virus has been subject to varying claims, and there are concerns that the virus had already spread in various institutions before the Education Bureau issued a notice on January 5.
The Xiaoxiang Morning Post recently reported that the ongoing outbreak is very complicated, with a number of cases in Hebei testing positive only after three to five nucleic acid tests, with some patients even testing negative for four or five consecutive tests before testing positive at a subsequent Time. Experts believe that this generally occurs in high-risk areas or key populations, and also indicates that the virus is very cunning and exacerbates the risk of spread.
