Chinese health authorities suspect salmon imported from Norway or workers carrying the virus who were not detected to be the source of the new outbreak.

 

It is essential to arrest and imprison all incoming salmon. They are demons. And they may be responsible for some of the nations other problems too. Those dumb fish are real trouble makers. 

 

Nobody has proven that Covid can be transmit through food, so this claim seems a bit inane. And the hysteria surrounding the 57 new cases is a bit much. Concern yes. Hysteria no. Let's see how it is handled, and if it is contained. Sanity is required at this time.

Coronavirus: Beijing spike continues with 36 new cases

 

Beijing has recorded 36 new locally-transmitted coronavirus cases, amid fears of a second wave in the Chinese capital.

Another 36 cases were also recorded on Saturday. The city had previously seen no new cases in more than 50 days.

Beijing has stopped all inbound salmon flights, supermarkets and restaurants have removed it from purchase ????

The headline does say a lot about the media & some Government responses

Went to Chatuchak Saturday & used Skytrain for some of the journey.

Believe me, if the virus was still active, I would now have it, albiet, being careful.

And yet I cannot have a quiet beer in my local where any customer has been here for 3 months anyway.

Extrordinary that they cannot open up completely to all local businesses & see what happens for 6 weeks (in the real bubble) before even  considering 

bringing tourists in from China or anywhere else 

 

[DirtyHarry55]

So they tested the chopping board but they didn't test the fish?

What a load of Codswallop!

mainstream media favourite hobby it's exaggerating and spread fake news.

What is left for the average Chinese to put on the dinner table?

Australian beef in banned, American pork in banned, Chinese pigs have African Swine flu. Now salmon is added to the list.

That's rich....

 

Seeing that the out break occurred near a market place, one can only imagine. Beijing has locked down several area's in Beijing.

And they recently took dogs and cats off the list of approved meats. I'd be pretty worried if I were a chicken in China.

We've been hearing a lot about Thailand's plans to create a travel bubble. What I'd be interested in is China's take on this - would they let Chinese travelers who return from Thailand enter without quarantining them? Otherwise whatever Thailand does is as good as irrelevant. China seems to be very cautious at this point, and rightly so.

[Nanaplaza666]

Salmon that is cut on a chopping block where on they first cut there infected meat , word is it came from a meat market but hey let's blame it on the imported norwegian salmon . I wonder how big this woman's brown envelope was . I geuss fuji restaurants here in thailand are not happy with this news at all and all the other sushi restaurants ofcourse . 

[Bkk Brian]

Just part of China's propaganda machine designed to sidestep and deflect the real source without evidence.

[Grge Soul]

The gal has Stockholm Syndrome - bootlicking and parroting the party line.

 

Nothing worse than a CCP shill. NOTHING.

Many people are never symptomatic, and it only requires 1 person to transfer it to another person. In The later months of the year, people will be huddled together indoors with less ventilation, which will be more prime for spreading the virus. 
Also a mutation has recently been discovered that has made COVID-19 up to 10 times more infectious. People, for whatever reason, have stated that the mutations are a myth, when in fact many mutations have been discovered over the last few months. 

Scientists have been freely sharing the sequences of the virus which, like all viruses, mutates constantly. "Sometime in the middle of January, there was a change that allowed the virus to become more infectious. It doesn't mean it's more lethal," Haseltine said. "It makes it about 10 times more infectious."

This virus isn't going away from the global population until a vaccine is introduced 

[DrTuner]

Let me guess. The chopping board was contaminated with feces containing SARS-CoV-2 due to lacking hygiene.

Who pays her salary? As for China's covid numbers and outbreaks, well the entire world (WHO) knows about CCP transperancy. Salmon? Absolutely pitiful. The CCP will do anything to divert attention away from what they have done to the world. I don't like the implications but the CCP should be completely isolated from the global community, brought to it's knees and overthrown in an uprising against a totalitarian, abhorrent bunch of complete .... . Governments dependent on CCP money should get together and find out ways to lesson their withdrawal pains.

The salmon would have been frozen for shipping, does extreme cold kill covid.

COVID doesn't live in fish, something to do with the lungs of the fish, they don't have them.

 

Most likely someone who had COVID contaminated his work station and whatever he was working on, in this case cutting up salmon into retail sized chunks,

 

[Dap]

Yup, salmon from Norway. I wonder who's on the Chinese payroll?

[NB1986]

Ofcourse even when everything started in Wuhan they claimed the same, lied about human to human transmission, in 2 weeks they started to building hospitals, doctors who tried to warned the world dissapeared or died... Yeah we should believe in Beijing is everything in order.

Who touched the cutting board? If it came in from abroad who processed/handled the salmon in Norway?

 

I've seen the salmons from Norway, I believe they come straight out of the water and into the freezer.

 

They are full fish and completely unprocessed until they reach their destination.

Spread there by a locally infected person or object. The virus would not have continued to live on dead tissue during the shipping process (IMHO)

Freezing a virus is the perfect way to preserve it, that's how they store samples at places like the CDC.

 

However the source of the COVID on this cutting board is going to have been the person cutting up the fish

 

They're blaming it on salmon from Norway - it's how the Chinese work.

I won't be surprised if there are ow restrictions on salmon imports from Norway in various countries which kiss the ass of China on a daily basis.

 

I don't know if it's linked but i have noticed a massive increase on

the salmon price in Big C extra in Pattaya since few days 

Also a general increase of 5 to 10% on the price of most of the others procucts.
