The sprawling Chinese city of Shanghai is set to open a massive 50,000-bed makeshift hospital in order to house coronavirus patients as the country battles what appears to be a major spike in COVID cases.
Workers were busy this week putting the finishing touches on the ad-hoc hospital at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai. The city already has multiple makeshift hospitals for housing tens of thousands of patients.
China at the beginning of last month began posting sharply escalating COVID numbers, with the country seeing its first reported outbreaks of the virus since April of 2020.
The country in the spring of 2020 initiated a severe lockdown of large parts of the Hubei province, including Hubei’s capital city of Wuhan, in an effort to control the spread of the virus; the disease appeared to have emerged from Wuhan itself.
The lockdowns there in early 2020 played a major role in the shutdowns that subsequently spread across the rest of the world, with national leaders across the planet eventually ordering lockdowns of their own in the belief that China had successfully controlled the virus via stay-at-home orders.
Shanghai was placed on severe lockdown at the beginning of April as COVID cases rose there. It has not yet been lifted.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
