The possibility of a big COVID-19 rebound in China over the next two or three months is remote as 80% of people have been infected, a prominent government scientist said on Saturday.
The mass movement of people during the ongoing Lunar New Year holiday period may spread the pandemic, boosting infections in some areas, but a second COVID wave is unlikely in the near term, Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said on the Weibo social media platform. Hundreds of millions of Chinese are travelling across the country for holiday reunions that had been suspended under recently eased COVID curbs, raising fears of fresh outbreaks in rural areas less equipped to manage large outbreaks.
China has passed the peak of COVID patients in fever clinics, emergency rooms and with critical conditions, a National Health Commission official said on Thursday.
Nearly 60,000 people with COVID had died in hospital as of Jan. 12, roughly a month after China abruptly dismantled its zero-COVID policy, according to government data. NN: Keep you eye on the money ball. Lets say China kills 10 million people…… Hell take the worse case they kill 100 million….. What does that do to a country with 1.4 BILLION people. To the commies they cull the old and sickly that can’t work anyway. China has a great big problem. Not enough jobs to go around. Working age population is 1 billion people. So that means they have 400 million people to young or to old to work. COVID has little effect on their working age population….. Basically a bad case of the flue. SO from a money ball stand point its everybody back to the factories and zoom Zoom ZOOM on oil consumption. And they cut their social welfare costs in the die off.
