This is not new. Combined testing has been the norm in all this mass testing. If your batch receives a positive you get an orange code and you have to go for an individual test. These tests are not at the same place so you don’t queue with the general public.
These combination testing is not geared to see if you as an individual have Covid but to see if there is any Covid in the community at large. Combined testing is thus done if it is expected that there is no Covid.
For the period I have some official data, that was September 25 to 28, 6.54 million tests were done in Kunming and all were negative. That means that still 654 thousand batches had to be analysed. Some 220 thousand per day so it is still an enormous operation.
The benefit of combined testing is cost saving. You can get an individual test as well but they cost 16 kuai.
So be happy that there is combined testing because basically it means that there is no Covid.

The zero covid policy is not to have zero covid but aimed at reducing the impact of Covid. If it is the right policy or not I cannot say, I am not an epidemiologist, but what is known is that the Chinese vaccines efficiency rate combined with in certain area and groups low vaccination rate cannot give herd immunity to protect all.
I am double vaccinated and boosted but that already quite some time ago and with vaccines modelled at the than prevalent strains of Covid. That means basically that I and the rest of China are not prepared, vaccine wise, for the onslaught of Omicron. The result of that would be an overwhelmed health care system that would collapse.
The whole idea of pandemic control is to avoid the collapse of the healthcare system. China till now could avoid a collapse because it could draw health workers from other parts of China that were not affected. If Omicron goes on a stampede this would not be possible anymore. You have to realise that in other countries Omicron had a limited death rate because all the vulnerable people had already died of earlier strains of Covid.
Indeed forever zero covid is not possible but the aim is to buy time to develop Omicron specific boosters that will dampen the impact of epidemic covid in China.

They have rapid tests if you go to a place that has them and pay for it.
I got results twice of a free, combined, test within 5 hours.
You have to understand that these free test are not directly for the benefit of you as a private individual but for the health authorities to keep a picture of what is going on in the community at large. Also they are a free service to you if you have the results within the period that you need it.
No results found.

发布者Well I looked into David Wozney, "Dinosaurs: Science or Science Fiction" a bit further and the only references I got where from conspiracy theory websites like:
mysteriousearth.net
which has articles like "The first Human-pig hybrid has been created, secrets of the pyramids that will change the world and a lady claiming that she has been raped by aliens and that NASA has confirmed that earth has a new moon.
atlanteanconspiracy.com
Their mission is: Exposing the 'Global' Conspiracy from Atlantis to Zion
Their favicon (The little picture that appears on the tabs of browsers) looks very much like that of Breitbart.
christianflatearthministry.org
Which gives us the plane truth about the flat earth
And the very useful:
ocii.com/~dpwozney/dinosaurs.htm
which gives instructions on how to make your own dinosaur out of chicken bones.
Well I am impressed and now totally convinced that the Great Dolphin must be right and from now on I will follow him and belief every word he writes.

发布者Sorry Dolphin, I tried but failed. Nobody in the Netherlands and the US wanted to listen to me. These Dutchees at the museum said they knew and that's why they didn't put their own money in it. The US guys where to busy right now with pipe-bombs and things like that.
I can understand that they don't take the word from a simple messenger but if you, our great Prophet, go there yourself then I am sure they will listen.

发布者Thanks Dolphin for clearing this up. Trix the Tyrannosaurus Rex was financed by crowd funding and got most of its money from children. Dutch TV provided free publicity and the largest supermarket chain in the Netherlands held special promotions and even the postal service issued special stamps. And now we have to inform all of these that they bought a fake made in China from ground up chicken bones held together with resin.
I will inform all of them that they have been deceived. I will inform as well the US District Court of Montana and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in the US that they have been dealing with a fake and therefore will have to annul their ownership rulings.
All will be very thankful to "The Great Dolphin" for setting things straight (And his humble messenger Mr Lemon who past on the words of this Great Prophet).

Rest assured I don't go around naked.
I don't have an explanation as well for why hair grows in that region other than that hair has a protective function as well and these parts are rather delicate.
