Here's a little update to our situation in Beijing:
– symptomatic cases are in the double digits (22 two days ago, 18 yesterday)
– my district requires school to test everyone (students, teachers, all staff) 3 time each weak
– mask mandatory indoors
1/3
But here's the thing, I don't believe it's getting there. I might be wrong, but this is the capitol and the ones in power will do everything possible to avoid a lockdown.

There's probably way more layers to this, but I hope we'll be all good.
