China celebrates 60 years

China formally kicked off its mass celebrations of 60 years of communist rule with a 60-gun salute that rung out across Beijing's historic Tiananmen Square earlier today. Hundreds of thousands of participants marched past Tiananmen Square in costume or uniform, with floats and dancers mingling with soldiers and military hardware. Collected here are photographs of the once-in-a-decade National Day parade in Beijing, and of others commemorating the anniversary elsewhere.

There is 39 pictures of the celebration at:

From the interview with Guan Yi last week:

"Golden Week, the mobility of the population will be greatly strengthened, and how the prevention and control of a stream?

Guan Yi: Population of the large-scale movements will certainly lead to large-scale spread of the virus may cause a stream of further outbreaks."

Re: China celebrates 60 years of communist rule

Since no social distancing measures have been put in action in none of the more than 150 countries around the world hit by pandemic influenza H1N1 2009 virus, the 60th Anniversary of Popular Republic of China likely has not increased the overall risk of further spread of the pandemic itself.

This for our due clarity.
