Dr. John Campbell, who does a daily medical video, commented today that the real reason for China’s opening was not the white paper protests, but the reality that infections were already soaring. According to Dr. Campbell, people were bribing the labs or the lab employees in order to obtain a negative test, which then enabled the testees to go about their daily lives without restriction. However, they were spreading infection, which gave the virus a strong head start long before the Dec. 7 opening date.
Of course, this, if true and I certainly find it plausible, renders the PCR test requirement for travel to the US useless as it can easily be faked.
