They found six new cases in Wuhan so they’re planning to test eleven million people over the next ten days. Neither number is a typo.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-china-wuhan-idUSKBN22N24F …

To people who accuse me of being a CCP shill for the above which was reported by many outlets (we'll see how it plays out.) Besides writing about CCP cover-up, I wrote about how the Hong Kong's protest movement *defied* HK gov't and Beijing to succeed. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/05/how-hong-kong-beating-coronavirus/611524/ …pic.twitter.com/Fhv4Br1tjZ

Chenchen Zhang 🤦🏻♀️ @chenchenzhthis doc shows expert review of Wuhan's "10 day" testing plan. It says conducting individual nucleic acid tests on 8m people in 10 days is beyond the current capacity.

And currently there's no protocol for mini-pool-NAT https://twitter.com/pacypcg/status/1260565365496729604 …Show this thread1 reply 1 retweet 4 likes
May well be implausible. But key point was they plan to deploy mass testing after six cases! (I checked a dozen outlets reporting the same numbers before tweeting it out. Will update with whatever we can learn about what they actually do).
