The Chinese gov turned everyone’s QR code on their phones orange at 2am in the morning. Their phones need to be green in order to buy groceries, so they all lined up to get their PCR test
@Fever >everyone

no just chongqing city. They had a drought and forest fires. Emergency responders from outside their province came over to put out fires and dig firebreaks.

chongqing doesnt have regular covid tests for a while now so they did a round of mass testing just in case it blooms into something uncontrollable.

@IAMAL_PHARIUS @Fever isn't it a little counterintuitive to do mass testing with everyone in a line like this for a super viral virus?

@beardalaxy @IAMAL_PHARIUS

Yes. It’s a control measure to keep people out of the super market. They’re obviously going to give this city a bunch of false positive PCR tests.
@beardalaxy @Fever Yeah it is. the city itself has been covid free for sometime, no mask mandate. Mass testing doesnt expose them much more significantly than their day to day. Even if there are clusters, the test itself will expose them. Besides there isnt a better way to mass test 31 million people within a week.
