We’re witnessing the worst part of the coronavirus pandemic, just as vaccines are about to be used in Western countries, including the US and Europe. The numbers for daily infections and deaths are hitting new record highs in America, with more than 100,000 people hospitalized with COVID-19. The worse is yet to come as health experts worry that Thanksgiving and Christmas will fuel bigger surges.
As more people travel during the holidays, and as families tend to congregate indoors during the winter, the risk of infection rises dramatically.

As all of that is happening, China made one of the strangest recommendations so far.
