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.
when all the huge protests were happening in the US all the evidence was showing they were not super spreaders. it just doesnt spread easily outside with everyone walking around wearing masks. quickly testing the population to cut off the spread is virtually the only way to go about it. they're aiming to test the entire population of 14M in 2 days.
Like, isn't they and the US establish that the virus spread way easier indoor than outdoor though? Like most of the peoples wear masks and not screaming at each other.
Yeah, you just have to be so precious careful while you're in line. And you really are putting a lot of faith in the test and the people doing the test.
That one reply called it a super spreader event. Is that not a fair assessment? This site is the only place I'd want such a question thought about.
What else could you do though? Door to door would be time intensive and expensive
The take home tests aren't half as reliable as nucleic acid, right? You'd hardly want to put your faith in it

Better have the test than none at all, tbh. At least they're not one of those scammer like some that pop up in the US
