A major Chinese city near Beijing has begun mass testing of its 14 million residents after a cluster of 20 children and adults tested positive for COVID-19, including at least two with the omicron variant
Hopefully their zero COVID 19 strategy can hold out, Omicron just spreads so fast. But if anyone can do it, it's China.
They’ll throw the kitchen sink at this; not letting covid spread is a point of national pride now. If it does start to get out of hand we will witness a master class of pandemic response
Most athletes have already quarantined for a month before the Olympics. It's one of the reasons there will be no professional athletes from the NHL this year, they couldn't take the time off contractually.
I have faith in China, so far their zero covid strategy has done gangbusters.
Same but Omicron is so contagious, and with the winter Olympics coming up it's very worrying.

Yeah, also the diplomatic bs the US will force on China when China quarantines US athletes for inevitably testing positive.
