TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) on Tuesday (Dec. 27) announced 24,427 local COVID cases, a 43% increase from the same day last week.

These data appear to contradict outbreak of a new covid variant or a new bioweapon in mainland China. The percentage of new cases in Taiwan has almost doubled in one week but that is the near doubling of a small figure. There will be more news in the days to come. Rumors and speculation of widespread covid disease in mainland China make this an open question. Mainland authorities deny there is any outbreak but that does not seem believable. ABN
