Parts of Beijing locked down due to fresh virus cluster

Dozens of people tested positive for the coronavirus in Beijing as parts of the city were locked down Saturday after the emergence of a new cluster linked to a wholesale food market.

People were ordered to stay home at 11 residential estates in south Beijing's Fengtai district and the nearby Xinfadi market was closed as authorities raced to contain the outbreak that has fuelled fears of a resurgence in local transmission.

Most of the six new domestic infections reported Saturday were linked to the meat and vegetable market, health officials said, which provides much of the capital's food supply.

Official news agency Xinhua reported at least one of the cases was "severe".

But another 45 asymptomatic cases -- which China counts separately -- were detected after mass testing of nearly 2,000 workers at the market on Friday, city health official Pang Xinghuo later told reporters.

The article did not indicate whether this outbreak is believed to be "domestic" or re-import.  IIRC, the recent (current?) lock-down in NE China was due to an outbreak traced to a Chinese national who had returned from New York and had been symptom-free through the required 2-week quarantine. I suppose it is not impossible that this Beijing outbreak might have been a brach off that NE China outbreak.

The day before yesterday I could not get a haircut iCalif, but yesterday I could.

Gov. Gavin Mussolini tried to scapegoat nail salons (mainly Vietnamese, for the virus.

Meanwhile the world news is about 2nd wave in China. Russian-China propoganda about 2nd wave.

Which democrat will rep the walking dadaver Biden?

Four months to election day.

Wil the dems succeed with the 2nd wave scenario? Will voters fall for it? Is there really a 2nd wave?
