SHANGHAI, Jan 16 — China reported 130 new coronavirus cases in the mainland for January 15, official data showed today, as authorities continued to battle a severe outbreak in the Northeast that has put more than 28 million people under lockdown.
That figure was down from 135 cases a day earlier, the China’s National Health Commission said. Of those cases, 115 were local infections, 90 of which were in Hebei province surrounding Beijing that has been hit hardest in the latest wave.
Another 23 cases were found in northeastern Heilongjiang province while two cases were reported in Beijing.
Total case numbers remain well below what China saw at the height of the outbreak in early 2020, but concerns about a new country-wide wave are growing with a major national holiday a month away and estimates of 296 million railway passenger trips during the Lunar New Year break.
This surge comes as a World Health Organisation-led (WHO) team of investigators are in quarantine in the city of Wuhan, where the disease emerged in late 2019. The team aims to investigate the origins of the pandemic that has now killed nearly 2 million people worldwide.
Authorities in Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei province, which already imposed a lockdown,said late yesterday that they had completed two rounds of testing for Covid-19 and had tested over 10 million people, finding 247 positive cases in the process. Of these, 217 were in the city’s Gaocheng district.
The health commission also today reported 79 new asymptomatic patients, who it does not classify as confirmed cases, were found on January 15 compared to 66 a day earlier.
The total number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in Mainland China now stands at 88,118, while the death toll remains unchanged at 4,635.

There is no proof that face mask, disinfectant liquid and social distancing keeps the infection down.
It is unproven theory.
I would like to stroll under the sun without any protective items and without restriction.
These preventive measure is imposed without evidence.
This is against freedom of choice.

The usage of face mask, disinfectant liquid and social distancing had been observed for almost a year, without any fruitful result.
It is an i di o t's attempt to repeat failing measure and expecting a different result.

If they don't impose penalty for not wearing mask then by all means we can go without it. So, who is insisting here? The faggots !!

It is only assumption that Japanese are polite with their mannerism.
You like to see what you want to see which is illusionary.
There is the other ugly side to everything which is called darkness, negative.
Without them the something don't function, electricity for example, needs negative.
Even nature turns dark when the sun sets.
As for Japanese, some may have forgotten their atrocities in the early 1900s until WW2 ended.

We are born naked and roamed the earth in nude.
Until someone thought we must cover up and labeled it as civilisation.
Human went against nature and raped it for their comfort living.
They even discriminated against fellow human by color and status.
For some to live comfortably, laws were created to label others as law breakers.
I don't mind walking naked if no one complain or imposes a penalty.
See, how the have IMPOSED their need unto others.

Haha, you're funny! When I look back at those oldies' videos, music, etc, there are so much of hidden truth in their songs and media!
But modern song also not bad, like Faded by Alan Walker 'Where are you now (asking to my higher self haha)' or the lyrics in the Last Game Steins Gate 'Let us pray for the world to realize, there is peace, the truth within us' and 'Wake up now, it's time to lead new souls'

I tried, it says video unavailable.
Exactly what's going on around the world.
Attachment to gadgets and boxed in.
The future will be full of arrogant zombies in a concrete jungle.

So, does that mean we will be imprisoned in our home just because the infection is prevalent?
