The Chinese city of Qingdao is testing its entire population of nine million people for Covid-19 over a period of five days. The mass testing comes after the discovery of a dozen cases linked to a hospital treating coronavirus patients arriving from abroad. In May, China tested the entire city of Wuhan - home to 11 million people and the epicentre of the global pandemic. The country has largely brought the virus under control. That is in stark contrast to other parts of the world, where there are still high case numbers and lockdown restrictions of varying severity.https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-54504785

Imagine taking the vaccine to do your bit towards opening up fully again, ditching masks, no tests everywhere you go etc only to be told by the experts and government ‘we’re not there yet, we need a few more people to come forward first’ And on and on it goes...... Nothing a bit of mandatory health passports, blue shields on an app and ‘Covid immune’ bracelets wouldn’t solve for those who have taken the vaccine. Not having a go at you Gael23.
