Chinese Covid Numbers:Up? Down? All Around

        Your friendly Chinese government, home to the world's largest number of Communists, has decided(Mr. Xi decided) that too many of the prolateriot were unhappy with some of his lockdown measures, such as stay at home under guard for 2-3 weeks. So rules were relaxed; folks could go to work; folks could buy food; folks could visit family down the street. Folks could L-I-V-E(w/i limits, of course).

Result: Covid infection outbreak everywhere in the Middle Kingdom of Communism. And, how bad is the outbreak? How many infections are being counter and where are they? Well, how would the W.H.O. know? Why, the trusted numbers put out by the Beijing Communists, of course. These numbers come from "official" government sources, of course. Communist sources, approved by Xi, hisself. So they MUST be believed. But, these numbers have a ring of (pick one): falsity, incredibility, farcity, hilarity, fake news, and to be sure, weakness.

     Pres. Biden has signed on to a requirement that all visitors from China must have a negative Covid test before boarding a flight to the US. This will ensure the safety of all Americans. The people who will perform these tests are the passengers themselves or government testers. Those who certify the veracity of said results are:  Chinese!  We all know about Chinese: they are as loose with the truth as members of the republican Party in the U.S. (see George Santos and Kevin McCarthy). So this useless gesture will be seen for what it is: a useless gesture put out to demonstrate the active involvement of the White House in protecting the populace from anymore infections than we already experience here in CONUS.
