China eases up on C19 restrictions (a little) – a new model for US States and cities controlled by the US Democratic Party plus countries like Australia, Canada and New Zealand?

Twenty easing steps that I chop down from a “cut and paste” below:
(1) For close contacts, adjust the management measures of "7-day centralized isolation + 3-day home health monitoring" to "5-day centralized isolation + 3-day home isolation", during which code management is assigned and must not go out. Carry out 1 nucleic acid test.
(2) Promptly and accurately determine close contacts, and no longer determine close contacts (no longer close contact of close contacts? Ed).
(3) Adjust the "7-day centralized isolation" to "7-day home isolation" for spillover personnel in high-risk areas, during which code management is assigned and must not go out. Nucleic acid tests were carried out on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th days of home isolation. (now “Carry out 1 nucleic acid test as per (1)? Ed)
(4) Adjust the risk area from "high, medium, and low" to "high and low" to minimize control personnel. No new infections were found in high-risk areas for 5 consecutive days, downgraded to low-risk areas. High-risk areas that meet the conditions for unblocking should be unblocked in a timely manner.
(5) Adjust the "7-day centralized isolation or 7-day home isolation" to "5-day home health monitoring" for employees in high-risk positions .. Carry out a nucleic acid test once every 5 days, do not go out unless necessary, and do not go to crowded public places or take public transportation if you really need to go out.
(6) ..Generally, nucleic acid testing for all employees is not carried out according to administrative regions, and is only carried out when the source of infection and transmission chain are not clear, and the community transmission time is long. .. correct unscientific practices such as "two tests a day" and "three tests a day".
(7) The circuit breaker mechanism for inbound flights will be abolished, and the negative certificate of two nucleic acid tests within 48 hours before boarding will be adjusted to one negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours before boarding.
(8) ..Chinese personnel need to complete the new coronavirus vaccine booster immunization before entering the management area, and take corresponding isolation management or health monitoring measures according to the risk after completing the work.
(9) Clarify that the positive determination standard for inbound personnel is a nucleic acid test Ct value of < 35, and conduct risk assessment for personnel with a nucleic acid test Ct value of 35-40 when the centralized isolation is released. If you are previously infected, "two tests in three days" during home isolation, code management, and you are not allowed to go out.
(Ed note: a RT-PCR test using a Ct of over 24 yields false results about infectiousness. Less than 35 for inbound personnel but 35-40 when released seems to be flawed logic).
(10) For inbound personnel, "7-day centralized isolation + 3-day home health monitoring" will be adjusted to "5-day centralized isolation + 3-day home isolation" .. Nucleic acid tests were carried out on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th days of centralized isolation medical observation, and 1 nucleic acid test was carried out on the 1st and 3rd days of home isolation medical observation. (Ed: drop from 4 tests to 2 and reduced internment camp/hotel “centralized” isolation by two days?)
(11) Strengthen the construction of medical resources.
(12) Orderly promotion of new coronavirus vaccination.
(13) Accelerate the reserve of drugs related to the treatment of new coronary pneumonia.
(14) Strengthen the protection of key institutions and key populations. Find out the base number of the elderly, patients with underlying diseases, pregnant women, hemodialysis patients and other groups, and formulate health and safety protection plans. (Ed: Great Barrington Declaration principles!)
(15) Implement the "four mornings" requirement to reduce the scale of the epidemic and the handling time.
(16) Increase the intensity of "one-size-fits-all" and layer-by-layer rectification of problems. Local party committees and governments should implement territorial responsibilities, strictly implement the unified national prevention and control policy, strictly prohibit arbitrary closure of schools and classes, suspension of work and production, blocking traffic without approval, arbitrarily adopting "silent" management, arbitrary closure and control, long-term unblocking, arbitrary suspension of diagnosis and other behaviors, .. (Ed: “one-size-fits-all” to STOP local dictators imposing OVERLY restrictive measures?)
(17) Strengthen service safeguards for personnel in lockdown, control, and isolation. .. Comprehensively explore the basic information of the community's permanent population, grasp the situation of key personnel such as the elderly living alone in empty nests, children in difficulty, pregnant women, and patients with underlying diseases, and establish a list of key personnel and a list of needs during the epidemic.
(18) Optimize campus epidemic prevention and control measures.
(19) Implement prevention and control measures for enterprises and industrial parks.
(20) Categorize and orderly and do a good job of evacuating stranded personnel.

Quite the template for the US flu season, right? I bet the rigged mid-term elections afford the US Democrat Party and countries like Australia, Canada and New Zealand a great chance to further implement the policies of their CCP ideological bosses and their worship of Moloch!
In New Zealand they have already dropped most restrictions and testing. But it’s an election next year so many are expecting a covid fear campaign so things may change. Even opposition politicians are expecting the current government to do a fear campaign
When Contact Tracing appeared on my phone, I deleted it. When it reappeared, I never signed in to it.
