Will NYC Become Shanghai? Tracked, Traced, Isolated, and Quarantined!

“Left unaddressed, these crises, together with COVID-19, will deepen and leave the world even less sustainable, less equal, and more fragile. Incremental measures and ad hoc fixes will not suffice to prevent this scenario. We must build entirely new foundations for our economic and social systems.” Klaus Schwab, The World Economic Forum

The City of Shanghai is under total government lockdown. With a policy of zero COVID, the Chinese government has confined 26 million people for two consecutive months. Free movement is extremely limited. People are essentially confined to their homes, others are taken away to isolation and quarantine facilities if they have a positive test and no signs of sickness. The people in Shanghai must take regular nucleic acid tests, if they test positive, people may be taken away against their will and put into isolation and quarantine facilities. Their homes broken into, and their belongings picked and rifled though by what the Chinese locals refer to as, “The Whites Guards”.  The White Guards are also known as the “COIVD police”, they are simply migrant workers traveling through Shanghai for transitory work. The local residents and the migrant workers have a tense relationship. The Chinese government has capitalized on this and hires the migrants to police the city residents into the strict and inhumane COVID policies. The Chinese government is not kind to these migrant workers by any means. They are forced into long quarantines themselves, some don’t get paid, and they are exposed to questionable chemicals used to “disinfect” the virus. They are just pawns in bizarre world of COVID.

Hundreds of White Guards can be seen throughout Shanghai either spraying chemicals, patrolling the streets, or storming buildings that are then barricaded to keep the inhabitants inside. Disturbing videos show crews of people dressed in white PPE from head to foot, faces covered with masks and shields, POLICE is written on their protective gear in English and Chinese. They break into homes and physically force tests, and vaccines, or they break in to take people to quarantine centers. The pets of those testing positive are killed. Parents and children are separated. A terrifying video recording of Shanghai captured the bellowing cries form city residents trapped for months in government lockdowns. Food is scarce, medicine is scarce, access to emergency care is scare. Whole buildings have been barricaded like a prison, where no one can come or go. One positive COVID test could cause hundreds of people to be confined. Shanghai has been under lockdown since March. A recent headline out of China read, they are looking at June 1st to begin slowly easing restrictions after three days of no positive COVID tests. 

Two years post COVID and this is China today. How will this effect NY? It all started in China to begin with. As another wave of COVID also hits the United States, how far will the government go here? China is a canary in a coal mine. From the first outbreak to the COVID measures the whole world would later adopt. Masking, testing, tracing, vaccines, COVID passports, and a biometric surveillance state. The Chinese have paved the way. They are the world’s leaders in biometric data collection, and surveillance. They hold the largest genomic bank in the world, they have millions of cameras, everywhere, capturing everything they can. Track, trace, control. This is data mining and the price is high. For the stake holders, the stakes yield unimaginable profits. For the common person, the stakes are a technocratic dystopian hell. China today could be the United States soon, as this is a global issue for humanity. 

Technology is enabling governments unprecedented power over people all over the world. Some can look at China as they sit comfortably in the United States, the land of the free and home of the brave. That’s China, that could never happen here! Yet here we are. Two years post COVID and toddlers are masked in NYC daycares and preschools while everyone else is free to breathe the air. Not too long ago people had to show their vaccine papers to eat in a restaurant, or go to a show. That may appear to be gone now, but the infrastructure is quite firmly set. Masked, and mandated. Is this about a virus? Or is this about control over humanity by an elite class of grotesquely wealthy megalomaniacs? This is not hyperbole. The facts tell a story that is straight out of a science fiction horror film. 

The United States has purchased billions of dollars worth of Chinese tests over the course of COVID. As of January 2022,

 “BEIJING, Jan 14 (Reuters) – China’s Andon Health Co Ltd (002432.SZ) said on Friday it has signed a contract worth $1.28 billion with the U.S. Army Contracting Command to supply COVID-19 self-test kits .Andon Health’s unit iHealth Labs Inc has agreed to provide at-home coronavirus antigen test kits that can serve 250 million people, the company said in a stock exchange filing. Earlier in the week, iHealth Labs signed a contract worth $ 120 million with the New York State Department of Health to supply the self-test kits. It had also received orders totalling $65.3 million sent from the New York State Department of Health in December, Andon Health said late on Wednesday.” Reuters

Corporate America is in a biotech race for data, human DNA is today’s gold. Citizens are turned into mere capital to be labeled and traced, their own DNA used to control them. DNA holds the keys to biometric surveillance and so much more. Thermo Fisher Scientific, is an American multinational company headquartered in Massachusetts. Thermo Fischer also has locations in China, and they have sold the Chinese government the means to surveil and control their people. Thermo Fischer is also one of the largest test suppliers in the United States. Ironically, COVID testing is still under and Emergency Usage Order, and the Thermo Fischer tests are terribly faulty resulting in the FDA issuing a warning about the high rate of false positives the tests produce. Not only that, the FDA is no longer even providing Emergency Use Authorization for the PCR test, 

“After December 31, 2021, CDC will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) , CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses.”

The Chinese government was caught harvesting DNA from pregnant women around the world, who took part in a prenatal diagnostic test for genetic abnormalities. The women were not told the test were harvesting both their DNA and the unborn child’s. China provides much of the testing throughout the globe, as they can do what they want in regards to regulations and laws that the west pretends to abide by. All of the lockdowns are driven by the testing, this is a global phenomenon. Testing with a test that produces a high ratio of false positives is very suspicious. Not only that, are the tests also collecting DNA samples? This is a very fair and disturbing question.

One could say that China is a prototype for the Great Reset. An idea created by Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum. According to Schwab, the average person will live in  SMART cities, own nothing, and will be bio metrically controlled right down to every move that we make, and the food that we eat. It’s all for public health, equity, and inclusivity, of course. Are we to believe that the Chinese government, who used a prenatal diagnostic tests to harvest DNA for their gene bank, are not doing the same with COVID tests? From the study of the human genome, to the usage of genomics to surveil a population, these are uncharted dark waters. Genomics has become a race to harvest as much data as possible. China is in the lead, but the United States would love to surpass China. There is one issue, and that is, western law affords its citizens inalienable rights to privacy and bodily autonomy, where the Chinese Communist Party does not. Shockingly in New York however, there is a new rule that would make NYC look like Shanghai! Done behind closed doors, Kathy Holchul gave the department of public health the power to isolate and quarantine anyone they chose, for as long as they decide, without due process, or evidence. Most New Yorkers have no idea this new rule exists. The Isolation and Quarantine Procedures took effect on 4/22/22.

This is terrifying considering that NY state had the highest death rates in the country. Thousands of elderly people in nursing homes died due to the governor, who sent COVID positive people into nursing homes at the onset of the pandemic. Governor Cuomo was forced to step down due to multiple scandals. It is a wonder that he was not indicted for the staggering evidence that his policies lead to catastrophic deaths from COVID in nursing homes. Instead he was awarded a $5 million dollar book contract to write all about how great his COVID policies were! A year later he is forced out of office for being a sex predator, what a shame for New York. Like a punch in the face, poof, he’s gone, back under the rock from which he came. 

His legacy is a sad reality where people died alone, separated from their loved ones, all due to his bad policies, which did not stop the virus or save any lives, he is actually responsible for lost lives. Cuomo made money from it, and walks away free. While New Yorkers struggle with inflation, lost businesses, and a very poor economy. The threat of lockdowns loom in the hearts and minds of many people. COVID is not going away, and neither are the COVID policies. The lieutenant governor, Kathy Hochul, did not skip a beat when she took Cuomo’s 

place, 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New York, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution of the State of New York and the Laws of New York State, do hereby continue the state disaster emergency as set forth in Executive Order 11, and continue the suspensions and modifications of law contained in Executive Orders 11, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, and 11.5, through June 14, 2022.” 

Hochul has been very busy ruling via executive fiat. All New Yorkers should be aware of the numerous Executive Orders she has been issuing, from COVID to domestic terrorism, the governor’s office is violating the checks and balances that keep New York from becoming a dictatorship, all for your safety of course. Since 2015 various versions of a bill to quarantine and isolate New Yorkers has failed in the assembly. The most recent bill, A416 was stricken. There are 213 elected members of the NYS assembly, since 2015, the quarantine isolation bill has never had more than one sponsor. It was very unpopular and rightfully so. The language of the bill is shocking.

“Section  1.  The  public health law is amended by adding a new section

 2120-a to read as follows:

   § 2120-A. REMOVAL AND DETENTION OF CASES, CONTACTS  AND  CARRIERS  WHO

 ARE OR MAY BE A DANGER TO PUBLIC HEALTH; OTHER ORDERS. 1. THE PROVISIONS

 OF  THIS  SECTION  SHALL  BE  UTILIZED  IN  THE  EVENT THAT THE GOVERNOR

 DECLARES A STATE OF HEALTH EMERGENCY DUE TO AN EPIDEMIC OF ANY  COMMUNICABLE DISEASE. 

TO REQUIRE AN  INDIVIDUAL  WHO HAS  BEEN  EXPOSED TO OR INFECTED BY A CONTAGIOUS DISEASE TO COMPLETE AN APPROPRIATE, PRESCRIBED COURSE OF TREATMENT,  PREVENTIVE  MEDICATION  OR VACCINATION,  INCLUDING  DIRECTLY  OBSERVED THERAPY “

Despite all this, Governor Holchul has taken the failed bill A416, and made it into a regulatory rule, essentially making A416 into NYS law, and bypassing the legislative body and the will of the people. 10 NYCRR 2.13, establishes quarantine and isolation procedures for anyone suspected of being exposed to a communicable disease, or may have one, whether the person is sick or not. Anyone, elderly, children, disabled, abled body, of every age, race, and creed, can be put into isolation and quarantine. The regulation reads as follows:

“(4) For the purposes of quarantine orders, quarantine locations may include home quarantine, other residential or temporary housing quarantine, or quarantine at such other locations as the public health authority issuing the order deems appropriate, consistent with any direction that the State Commissioner of Health may issue.” 

The people of New York heartedly rejected the quarantine and isolation legislation, yet the governor pushed it through nonetheless. For quite sometime, the state has pondered ways to isolate and quarantine anyone they please without evidence. This is a proposal for the SARS outbreak in 2003. COVID is known officially as, SARS-CoV-2. 

Goals

3. Non-hospital Isolation and Quarantine

The goals of community containment measures are to:

•Reduce the risk of exposure to SARS by separating and restricting the movement of

persons suspected to have SARS

• Reduce the risk of transmission of SARS-CoV by restricting the movement of

contacts who may have been exposed to infectious SARS patients but are not yet ill.

• Reduce the overall risk of transmission of SARS-CoV at the population level by

limiting social interactions and preventing inadvertent exposures.

B. Definitions

Isolation is the separation from other persons, in such places, under such conditions, and

for such time, as will prevent transmission of the infectious agent, of persons known to

be ill or suspected of being infected (10 NYCRR 2.25(d)).

• Isolation allows for the focused delivery of specialized health care to persons who are

ill, and it protects healthy persons from becoming ill.

• Ill persons are usually isolated in a hospital, but they may also be isolated at home or in

a designated community-based facility, depending on their medical needs.

• “Isolation” is typically used to refer to actions performed at the level of the individual

patient.

Personal quarantine (hereinafter referred to as “quarantine”) means restricting household contacts and/or incidental contacts to premises designated by the health officer (10 NYCRR 2.25(f)).

• Persons are usually quarantined in their homes, but they may also be quarantined in

community-based facilities.

• Quarantine can be applied to an individual or to a group of persons who are exposed

at a large public gathering or to persons believed exposed on a conveyance during to

international travel.

• Quarantine can also be applied on a wider population- or geographic-level basis.

Examples of this application include the closing of local or community borders or erection of a barrier around a geographic area with strict enforcement to prohibit movement into and out of the area.

The CDC has a document on their website called the, “Shielding Approach”, they claim it is for high risk populations in camp like settings, however the language of their proposal is congruent with what China is doing, and what Governor Kathy Holchul just did with the isolation and quarantine procedure rule. 

“The shielding approach aims to reduce the number of severe COVID-19 cases by limiting contact between individuals at higher risk of developing severe disease (“high-risk”) and the general population (“low-risk”). High-risk individuals would be temporarily relocated to safe or “green zones” established at the household, neighborhood, camp/sector or community level depending on the context and setting.1,2 They would have minimal contact with family members and other low-risk residents.

Current evidence indicates that older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.3 In most humanitarian settings, older population groups make up a small percentage of the total population.4,5  For this reason, the shielding approach suggests physically separating high-risk individuals from the general population to prioritize the use of the limited available resources and avoid implementing long-term containment measures among the general population.

In theory, shielding may serve its objective to protect high-risk populations from disease and death. However, implementation of the approach necessitates strict adherence1,6,7, to protocol. Inadvertent introduction of the virus into a green zone may result in rapid transmission among the most vulnerable populations the approach is trying to protect.”

Fortunately we are still a nation of laws, and Governor Holchul is being sued. According to Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox, whose firm is suing the governor and the DPH, the executive branch gave the power to quarantine and isolate New Yorkers to the public health department. Essentially they took the language of a failed bill, A416, and through an agency, are trying to make this a law. Agencies are not elected they are appointed. 

“We have three branches of government. The people suffer when one of those branches over steps its bounds and crosses over into law making where they do not belong, said Attorney Cox.”  

Senator George Borrello, Assembly members Michael Lawler and Chris Tague as well as the organization, Uniting NYS are petitioners on the lawsuit. “A local public health official could go to a 12 year old’s house and say to the parents, I believe (without proof), that your child has a communicable disease, and we need to take him somewhere,” said Senator George Borrello. This is happening now to parents in China. It’s seems so far fetched that the State of New York would ever take a child away, or an adult away against their will without due process, because the department of public health said so. New Yorkers have seen their government act in the most deplorable and shocking ways since the pandemic. How can the people of New York State trust a government that operates like a dictatorship? This is the government our forefathers warned us about. The rule is currently in the NYS Register and for all intents and purposes it is on the books now. The lawsuit has had some recent victories and is proceeding. If this lawsuit fails, NYC could be the next Shanghai.
