>The health secretary Steve Barclay was briefed by the chief medical officer Chris Whitty on Thursday and was told there was no clear evidence of significant benefits from testing travelers from China. The Observer has learnt that on the following day, Barclay discussed the issues with Sunak, who nevertheless decided it was more important for Britain to align itself with those nations – the US, Japan, Italy and Spain – that had already imposed such tests.

>The Albanese government imposed mandatory COVID-19 testing on travellers from China against the explicit advice of the Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly, who told the government there was not “sufficient public health rationale” for the measure.

Both UK and Australia health official clearly stated there is no scientific basis for such ban. Clearly show they are just trying to shit stir by following instruction from their USA master

NO shit!
Inb4 shit oso contain Covid19 virus!

It's obvious isn't it?

I mean, these countries have already opened up......not because they have zero covid or have successfully controlled covid....it's still out there, people get sick, people die, people just got tired, there's some acceptance to vaccinations.....but many still do fall sick........testing only PRC arrivals for covid doesn't make sense...because covid can still come from elsewhere...the border is opened.

This is just some form of posturing

prc can lock down for zero covid but other have to receive infection from prc.

classic of ccp.

either way also is salah ccp

the difference is magnitude of order of infection.

If they wanna ban, let them, and help them too, like ccp make a law, ban all direct flights to/from those countries will do, a permanent law.

kek after causing the whole world to suffer bcoz of ur virus

Kesian... so many political under pharma payroll

bilan sendiri ban ok je....org lain ban politikus

wah...byk pandai..

Have you seen what is the infection is like in countries like US, Japan, etc.?

China has a population of 1.4 billion. Even if 1 million people are infected also considered normal as it's about the same infection rate for Omicron in other countries.

As for new variants, where is the new XBB 1.5 coming from?

The news all talking about China BF7 as if it's a new variant but the fact is that variant already circulating last year even before China opens. In Malaysia, we already got BF7 in the third quarter of 2022.

Ppl still refuse to believe they are brainwash by usa political posturing

Then why China not remove their test?

Post edited by wumao because of national security

No wonder ur crush dont layan you

I do agree that China should remove their requirements.

However, on the other hand, I also understand why they maintain that requirements.

Currently, the variants in China are mostly BF7 and BF5 where most countries already have that variants.

They don't have the new XBB 1.5 yet.

It is the same with Malaysia. I think we only got the original XBB but not the 1.5 version that is hitting US currently.

Don't forget ccp exported virus in q1/2020.

whatever the situation, china has to make sure that people who get it

survives AND
do not overrun the hospital network

How they do that, I am not too sure......

Everything else...fuck them......if people have an anti-chinese bias, that's their problem.

haters will always be haters.....detractors will always be detractors......

I will argue that China and its leaders should be sigmas........alphas still worry about how people perceive them. Just do a Lee Kuan Yew......

Sigmas will fuck the world and achieve whatever that needs to be achieved. They did it with the space station, they can do it again elsewhere.
