China has returned to a post-COVID-19 new normal, which is "nearly unthinkable," according to U.S. media. In a report on Sunday, CBS News said that from morning tai-chi at various gardens to lunch crush in central business districts in China, the "sheer normalcy" of it all makes it seem as if the coronavirus never happened at all. When the epidemic broke out, the Chinese government "struck back hard and fast," forcing up to 50 million people into lockdown for two months, and new hospitals were built from scratch in just two weeks, the report said. T The government has carried out testing and contact tracing, implemented a QR health code system, banned nearly all foreigners from entering the country, and put people who were allowed to return into a 14-day quarantine.
