I was just speaking to one of my superiors I freelance for, and one of our colleagues in Shanghai reports that COVID is just as bad, if not worse than ever, in China right now.

Another colleague tested positive to COVID, was forcibly quarantined for 7 days, then deported.
Thanks for coming!

It's no surprise that this is being hushed up on Chinese gov't controlled media.
Has anyone heard anything similar recently?

If the Mbalam-Nabeba project wheels continue to turn slowly, this is a contributing factor.
