While even lockdown-happy countries like New Zealand and Australia have shelved their zero Covid strategy, citing that the highly contagious Delta variant makes it unreal, China continues to shut down society when any sign of a Covid outbreak is seen.
Recent over-reactions from China
- Two trains were stopped dead in their tracks last week when two crew members were discovered to have been in close contact with Covid positive people.
- After finding just one positive case on Saturday, a county in Jiangxi province turned every traffic light red to discourage people from driving.
And then on Sunday, Shanghai Disneyland was closed for at least two days when one single weekend visitor tested positive for Covid after returning home.
In a weird sight, nearly 34,000 guests at the theme park were seen lined up to get tested by people in hazmat suits before being forced to leave, even as Disney’s famous characters and fireworks display rumbled around them.
“I never thought that the longest queue in Disneyland would be for a nucleic acid test,” a visitor wrote on social media.
Oh, and guests looking for a refund - 😅🤐
