Fuelled by the Delta variant, China's latest outbreak that began in Nanjing has sent cases to seven-month highs, prompting warnings to local officials.

China's coronavirus cases have hit a seven-month high, after a cluster at a testing site helped drive up case numbers as the Delta variant challenges the nation's grip on the pandemic.

State media has described the current outbreak — which has sparked local lockdowns, mass testing and travel restrictions — as the most severe since the virus initially emerged in the central city of Wuhan in December 2019. Tuesday's numbers are the highest since January, when the country logged 144 new cases and 126 domestic infections, mostly in the northern regions."We have successfully contained the epidemic in Guangzhou, and the epidemic in Nanjing is gradually being put under control," China's Xinhua news agency cited infectious diseases specialist Zhang Wenhong as saying.

So in a population of 1.7 billion living on top of one another they have 143. Something does not add up, say the probability of getting infected is 0.00001 (0.001 %) now times that by 1,800,000,000 is 18,000. Numbers do not correlate. Can hear the little CCP twitter tapers now.

Only 143 new cases - yeah sure!

What goes around comes around; except more virulent and deadly.

What's the source of this information/disinformation?

Ain’t Karma a bitch

Gotta blame others quickly this time! Can't be waiting and having people realise the Central government caused all this.

Did any AUS politicians get punished for failing to contain COVID?

NSW records 356 new locally-acquired COVID-19 cases and three more deathsAround one third of the new cases announced on Tuesday were in the community during their infectious period, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said. I wonder if they’ll attempt a lockdown? Do we have data to show in those close contact/casual contact populations, what is the percentage of vaccinated and what is the percentage of covid cases from those vaccinated as compared with the unvaccinated covid cases in the same populations? Brisbane crushed Delta. NSW is simply hopeless. Saying Delta is just too hard. Full of excuses.... She has given up. Sole reliance on vaccines now. That is stupidity. It will take ages. They'll never get back to zero. They just broke Australia. Borders will never reopen again
