Too many cases of severe white lung, medical staff who are sick still have to work, three doctors have collapsed, shortage of manpower
On 27 December 2022, at the Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, critically ill patients could only inhale oxygen in the open air by the side of the road because there were no beds.
In Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, a large number of doctors had a fever, and physicians and surgeons had to go to the front line to provide support. Nearly 80% of the employees in the pharmacy department were covi-positive.
Authorities require medical staff to work with illnesses. Videos posted on the Internet show that many medical staff are suffering from high fevers, coughing and administering fluids to patients.

A doctor in a certain place in China: "This is a 48-year-old with large white lungs on both sides. The black one in front is normal, and these two sides are large white lungs. This is a 65-year-old woman's double lungs, large white lungs, and severe infection. This is a 37-year-old woman. For a 20-year-old woman, the patchy ground-glass shadows and grid shadows in both lungs are also seriously infected! If the covi-positive patient is covi-positive, and such large white lungs appear again, it means that the virus has invaded the lung tissue, causing viral pneumonia, and thus the occurrence of hypoxemia is a very severe manifestation."
Another doctor pointed out on social media that half of her patients on the 28th had large white lungs. People in Shanghai interviewed by Radio Free Asia also said that there are a lot of young people with white lungs.

White lung suggests lousy treatment and high mortality rate
A doctor in a certain place in China: "If the pneumonia is severe, if it has become a large white lung, it is true that the treatment effect is very, very poor, and the mortality rate is very high."
The Chinese doctor whose online name is "Dr. Zeng" also said: "Patients keep dying and doctors keep falling down. This is the current situation."
In the face of people's constant doubts about the re-spread of highly virulent variant viruses such as Delta in China, officials from the Chinese Communist Party's National Health Commission "refuted rumors" at a press conference on the 27th, claiming that the white lung that appears now has nothing to do with the original strain and vaccination, but generally distrusted by the public.

Worried about China's new variant virus spreading to the world, the U.S. CDC plans to test aircraft wastewater

The U.S. CDC told Reuters that as the number of covid infections surged in China, they are considering sampling wastewater discharged from international flights to track any possible new variant virus of outbreaks
Analyzing aircraft wastewater is one of several options the CDC is considering to help slow the introduction of new variants of the virus from other countries into the United States, said CDC spokeswoman Kristen Nordlund.
Eric Topol, a genetics expert and director of the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, also said that given the lack of transparency in CCP China's data, checking the wastewater discharged by airlines would be a better solution, so that the mutation of the virus can be more clearly understood. Eric Topol added that it is important for the U.S. to upgrade its surveillance strategy because China is very reluctant to share genetic data.
Michael Osterholm, a doctor of infectious diseases at the University of Minnesota, said that from a political point of view, wastewater testing seems to be necessary, because if no action is taken, governments are afraid of being accused by the people of not doing enough.

With the sudden increase in the number of covid cases infection in China, China has opened its citizens to travel abroad, which has made many countries nervous. Flights arriving from China are taking on-board wastewater samples for testing as the number of possible infections rises.
Malaysian Health Minister Zaliha Mustafa said on the 30th that this measure is part of the Malaysian government’s efforts to strengthen surveillance at international ports of entry as the number of infections in China continues to rise. The health laboratory conducts a viral nucleic acid (PCR) test, and if a positive reaction is found for the new coronavirus, gene sequencing will be carried out.”
In addition, the Ministry of Health statement also pointed out that all international inbound passengers, including those from China, also need to undergo fever screening tests."
Before Malaysia announced this measure, in addition to the US government’s announcement that starting from 5 January 2023, all passengers entering the U.S. from China must hold a certain time-limited virus test negative certificatewhile the U.S. CDC stated on the 29th that the the agency is also considering testing waste water from international inbound flights to track any new virus variants. "Reuters" quoted the CDC as saying that the inspection of waste water on incoming flights is better than the recently announced entry restriction measures to track the traces of the virus and slow down the spread of the epidemic to the United States.

PCR experts for inbound tourists from China suggest continuing until the end of March / can monitor whether there is a "big devil mutant strain" or not, which can also reassure the people
Image : The Epidemic Command Center announced yesterday that from New Year's Day to the end of January next year, passengers coming to Taiwan on 4 direct flights from China, as well as people from the Kinmen and Matsu area for the Spring Festival traffic special, will be required to take a saliva PCR test upon entry.

CCP China will no longer isolate people diagnosed with covid from 8 January 2023, and will also cancel PCR testing and isolation measures after entry, shocking countries around the world. Wang Bisheng, commander of the Central Epidemic Command Center, said the day before yesterday that the Republic of China's border policy will maintain the status quo. Yesterday, it turned to announcing that travelers from CCP China will require saliva PCR. Experts suggest that the new screening system will continue until the end of March 2023, and the monitoring of immigrants from other countries should not be neglected.

Entry from other countries should also be monitored
"They don't measure it, we measure it ourselves!" Wang Bisheng pointed out that hundreds of millions of people are infected with the epidemic, and the chances of the virus mutation are very high, but now China does not measure anything, therefore PCR for Chinese inbound passengers.
Hong Ziren, chairman of the Taiwan Medical Management Society, believes that the first wave of Omicron epidemics usually has the highest number of people infected and the highest fatality rate. Taiwan went from April to August this year, which is about five months. Based on this, it is estimated that the first wave of the epidemic in China in early November, at the beginning, even if "up and down quickly", at least until the end of March.
Therefore, Hong Ziren believes that the government should continue to increase the intensity of border epidemic prevention until the end of March, so as to monitor whether there is a "mutant strain of the big devil". In addition to epidemic prevention considerations, preservation of the domestic community, and medical capacity, another key point of this move is to "peace the hearts of the people."
Shi Xinru, director of the Emerging Virus Infection Research Center of Chang Gung University, analyzed that the imported cases come from different countries every day. The CDC is doing virus sequencing and monitoring, and uploading the results to the database to share with the world. In the future, Chinese immigrants will join Need to do saliva PCR, or even scientific sampling virus sequencing, will inevitably increase the burden.
Shi Xinru reminded that the epidemic situation in China is not transparent, and it is reasonable to monitor the virus sequence of its immigrants, but there are viruses all over the world, and there may be changes in mutant strains. While focusing on monitoring China, we should never relax the monitoring of other countries routine monitoring.
Minister of Transport Wang Guocai said in an interview after the Daoan press conference yesterday that cross-strait flights will still maintain the current four destinations, including Beijing, Shanghai, Xiamen and Chengdu. Observing that the Spring Festival reservations have not increased significantly, the booking rate is about 40% to 50%. An average of 8,000 to 10,000 tourists enter Taiwan from China every week, a slight increase from the 6,000 a week ago, and there may be more after China announces its opening up.
Wang Guocai said that the available flights between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait far exceed the actual flights. At present, there is no problem returning to Taiwan, and there are restrictions on flying to Taiwan. If China relaxes border control, the existing flights are sufficient.

British epidemiological experts: Chinese inbound passengers should be tested
Reporter : Ren Hao / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/12/30/a103610221.html
After the United States, Japan, Italy and other countries have strengthened entry testing for passengers from China, more countries have begun to consider the same method. British medical experts also urged the authorities to implement it as soon as possible.
Gao Luolan, professor of epidemiology and data science at the University of Edinburgh: "The data (detection of Chinese passengers) can allow us to understand the ongoing epidemic, understand the (virus) entering the country, and whether there is a new virus coming from somewhere or from somewhere. Virus strains should be worthy of our attention."
Gao Luolan believes that the CCP authorities do not disclose the true situation of the epidemic, and the West has very little data about the epidemic in China, so it is impossible to know whether a new mutant strain has emerged in China, and the CCP virus is still serious to humans. There is the essential need to understand some of the most basic situation.
Gao Rowland: "I am in favour of collecting these data, allowing international passengers arriving in the UK to undergo rapid screening tests, and if the results are positive, nucleic acid testing, so that we can get the information we need to understand what happened."
British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said on Thursday (29th) that the Ministry of Transport will make a decision on whether to require passengers entering from China to undergo virus testing by 30 December 2022 at the latest.
Ben Wallace: "I think the government has said that it is evaluating whether to impose different restrictions on countries with covid outbreaks."

Recently, a recording of a Beijing citizen’s telephone complaint was exposed. Now the hospital is completely paralyzed, and the corpses in the hospital have been piled up. The current situation is "no medicine, no 120, no place to cremate the dead". The citizen said that people waiting to cremate the remains of their relatives lined up from Babaoshan to Chang'an Street.
The Beijing 12345 citizen hotline is the non-emergency service center in Beijing. Citizens can use this hotline to express their demands or complain to the staff of government departments and service industries.
Recently, a recording of a woman in Beijing's Chaoyang District complaining about 120 to 12345 went viral on the Chinese Internet.
The conversation between the woman and the operator was marked as the government affairs hotline number "12345" in Chaoyang District. During the phone call, the woman reported that the mother who had won the title of "National Model Worker" needed kidney dialysis on weekdays, and was infected with covid a few days ago but the 120 emergency call could not be reached. (The woman stated that her mother was in the hospital for emergency treatment when she called to complain.)
The woman said that her mother is a "national model worker", but now she can't even do kidney dialysis. Her family lives in Chaoyang District, which is the closest to Chuiyangliu Hospital in the district. According to the woman's complaint, she kept calling 120, but the operator said that there were a large number of people calling for 120, and it took more than 70 numbers to get to her.
"My god, what are you waiting for? There are more than 70 people." She said, "If 120 doesn't come, the hospital is completely paralyzed now, and there is no place for the dead to be cremated. There are too many problems... The current situation is, Starting from Babaoshan, people waiting for cremation (the remains of their relatives) lined up on Chang’an Avenue, isn’t that true? The dead bodies in Chuiyangliu Hospital are piled up. It is said that the government does things for the people, why do the people do things? Isn’t this harming the people? ?”

Chaoyang District has no emergency preparations, Beijing woman questioned the Chinese Communist authorities' responsibilities in her lengthy complaint
The woman continued, "Since you want to let go, you should make all preparations before letting go." (Without preparations) she let go. Chaoyang District has no emergency preparations. It must be a mistake if the emergency plan is not done well. After letting go, the medicine cannot be bought. The old man now starts at 7 o'clock in the morning (queuing to buy medicine).
The woman also complained that there is no one to fetch the dead now. You can find a car at a high price (you can find this kind of car anywhere on the Internet), claiming that you can pull it for 5,000 RMB.
The woman said: "I found three in the morning, all of which can be pulled. It costs 1,000 to 1,300 RMB (cash), and no WeChat transfer. There is only one driver in this kind of car, and there is no doctor or nurse. Why do we need 120 in a hurry? It is because there are nurses in the car. Because the elderly are seriously ill, they are afraid of danger in the car. You must feed back these issues to the higher authorities. What is it like now? What are the leaders and officials doing?"
The woman also questioned: What do the people above do? What vaccines did they get? What kind of vaccines are people getting? In the past, the elderly were forced to get vaccinated (the vaccinated people were given money and various coupons after the vaccination), but now all the people who die are elderly. Who will solve this problem?
The operator who answered the woman's complaint call said that he had been answering the phone for a week and agreed with and understood what the woman complained about. Things are better now than they were two or three days ago, she said. It was called 120 before, and there were people who queued up for a day. It is not convenient for me to say anything about policy-level matters.
The above-mentioned recording caused heated discussions among Chinese netizens. Netizens are convinced that the content of this phone complaint is basically true, which fully reflects the various chaos after the release of epidemic prevention and control.
After the CCP authorities abandoned the zero-covid policy, Beijing became the hardest-hit area for a new wave of epidemics. People with fever lined up in various hospitals, and a large number of people died at the same time, causing hospitals and funeral parlors to be overwhelmed.
The Hong Kong media "Ming Pao" reported that on the 29th, a reporter from the newspaper inspected many hospitals in Beijing and found that the emergency rooms were crowded with patients and their families after nightfall.

Long queues to get computer scan results of infected patients' lungs
In the emergency department of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, after 8:00 p.m. on the 29th, the corridors and elevators were still full of patients seeking medical treatment. There were more than 100 people in the lobby alone, of which 70% were elderly, and some of them had no seats to sit. I could only squat in the corner of the corridor and wait. From time to time, doctors and nurses pushed the hospital bed all the way and shouted "Let it go!" and the old man on the bed wailed "It's about to die". Due to rumours that the number of lung infections has increased in Beijing, many infected patients queued up to have their lungs taken, and there was also a long queue at the place where the computer scan results were printed.
Beijing Huaxin Hospital, which is close to the East Fourth Ring Road, sent a text message to the patients: "The utilization rate of emergency rescue beds in this hospital is 100%, and the utilization rate of emergency observation beds is 100%."
The emergency department of the hospital was crowded with patients, and nearly 90% of them were elderly. The doctors and nurses kept repeating "I don't have a bed right now." A bed for the elderly was placed at the door of the emergency department, he was transferred later, and patients filled the vacancy.

In response to the surge in tourists caused by the reopening of the border by the Chinese Communist Party, the Malaysian Ministry of Health announced on Friday (30 December 2022) a series of additional precautionary measures to prevent the country’s epidemic situation from worsening.
The new measures include temperature screening for all inbound travelers, including those from China, and those who have a fever or covid symptoms, or who claim to have a fever or symptoms, will be referred to a quarantine center or health authority for re-examination, They will be tested for covid if required. Passengers with a travel history to China or who have been in contact with someone who has traveled to China will be tested for covid immediately.
Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustaffa said in a statement that to prevent any new variants, influenza-like illness (ILI) and severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) with travel history to China within the past 14 days Cases, or any contacts of those with a history of travel to China within the past 14 days, will be tested for RTK-Ag COVID and if found positive, followed by genome sequencing.
In addition, the testing will also include waste water from the aircraft from China, and the samples will be sent for PCR testing and, if positive, genome sequencing.
On 29 December, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said that after the Chinese government announced the reopening of the border on 8 January 2023, Malaysia will see a surge in demand for flights. The ministry also announced that the country's "localized infection" status since 2020 will be extended to 30 June 2023 from the original end date (31 December 2022).
The Ministry of Transport said the extension is to facilitate the prevention and management of COVID-19 infections under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures within Infected Areas) Regulations 2022.
The Malaysian Tourism Association (MATA) has urged the government to suspend the entry of tourists from China until the outbreak in China is eased.
MATA chairman Dr Datuk Mohd Khalid Harun pointed out that the recent apparent surge in the number of covid cases in China has raised the possibility of new variants of the virus, which has raised concerns among Malaysians, especially those in the tourism industry.
"We all know that hospitals across China are facing an explosive increase in COVID-19 cases after Beijing decided to roll back its strict epidemic prevention regulations," Harlan said in a statement on the 29th. The trauma suffered by the outbreak of -19 has not yet been resolved, many travel agencies and hotels have closed, and the past two years have suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, Harlan emphasized that he does not want a similar situation to happen again, because the tourism industry is still in the process of recovery. To prevent the spread of the epidemic, many foreign governments have temporarily tightened entry restrictions on tourists or businessmen from China. He also suggested that people in the industry shift their focus to tourists from the Middle East and Europe, and not to rely on Chinese tourists for the time being.
World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on the 29th that given the limited information from Beijing, it is "understandable" that some countries have imposed restrictions in response to the outbreak in China.
"For a comprehensive risk assessment of the local COVID-19 situation in China, WHO needs more detailed information," Tedros tweeted. "In the absence of comprehensive information from China, it is understandable countries around the world are acting in a way that they think might protect their population."

The epidemic in Beijing is fierce. The CCP’s epidemiologist Zeng Guang said that the epidemic was unexpected and the infection rate in Beijing may have exceeded 80%. “The speed of progress has exceeded our imagination”.
On 29 December, Zeng Guang, the former chief scientist of epidemiology at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said at the 2022 Phoenix.com Financial Summit that the infection rate of the novel coronavirus (CCP virus) has risen faster than expected. According to past experience, the first wave of the epidemic usually It will infect 30% of the population, but "we didn't expect this first wave to come aggressively, and even soon exceeded 50%, 60%, 70%, or even 80% infection rate."
He said that the reason why this outbreak is particularly violent is that the main transmission virus Omicron BF.7 mutant strain is the strain with the strongest transmission rate so far, and winter is a high incidence period of respiratory diseases and other factors.
Zeng Guang estimated, "It is possible that the number of infected people in Beijing has exceeded 80%, and it may even be higher."
Some netizens said: "I think it's not only 80% in Beijing, but also more than 80% in our hometown rural areas. According to this ratio, about 1.2 billion people in our country are infected!"
At present, the Chinese Communist Party has no longer officially released the death toll from the epidemic, but according to mainland Chinese media reports, Beijing has been at the peak of the epidemic in the past two weeks, and the number of emergency medical patients in hospitals has increased fivefold.
The Chinese medical information public account "Dingxiangyuan" issued an article on 24 December stating that the number of outpatient visits in Beijing was several times that of the beginning of the month, and the number of severe respiratory patients was more than 10 times that of previous years.
On the 23rd, Anouk Eigenraam, a Beijing-based reporter for the Dutch Financial Times, exposed the horrors of the emergency room of Beijing Hospital on Twitter. At Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and Haidian Third Hospital, she witnessed the overcrowded emergency rooms, with 500 to 700 patients pouring in every day, and some patients could only receive oxygen in the corridor. A family member of a patient in the emergency room told her that he saw dozens of patients die in the emergency room in one night, and the family members cried bitterly.
A video released by the online platform "Clean World" shows that all the funeral homes in Beijing are full, and there are long queues of vehicles to transport the corpses. A woman filming said: "Let me show you, where is this traffic jam. I can only walk in now. This is the crematorium. I can't even drive in. It's full of people. Even the shaft burning for 24 hours, before it was only burning until 12 noon..."
Another online recording shows that a person in the funeral industry in Beijing revealed, "The furnaces for the cremation of corpses in the funeral home in Daxing District have collapsed... Think about how many people there are, and they can't be burned in 24 hours. The funeral parlors are all in operation, and they can’t be burned for 24 hours, so you can imagine how many people there are.”
The person in the funeral industry in Beijing also revealed that the government is rushing to build cold storage for storing corpses, and all funeral homes are under construction. "The peak of the dead has just begun."
The chaos of the epidemic in Beijing angered citizens. A Beijing resident dialed the 12345 hotline, and a recording of the call complaining about the CCP authorities was circulated on the Internet. She said angrily: "Starting from Babaoshan, the cremated people line up on to Chang'an Street. This is true. The dead bodies in Chuiyangliu Hospital are piled up." Now it costs 5,000 RMB to pull the corpse in Beijing, and 30,000 RMB to go to the funeral parlour for cremation.
She said bluntly: "The people are the country? (Government) what kind of people are the country, and the country is now. The common people are not rebellious now. If they are, we are all people with parents. What are we now except one step towards another protest!"

Due to the lack of transparency in the CCP’s epidemic data, the British government has decided to require passengers from China to submit a negative COVID-19 test certificate before departure before entering the UK.
According to a BBC report, the British Department of Health and Social Security announced that starting from 5 January 2023, tourists from China must undergo mandatory testing before boarding the plane and submit a negative test certificate for the new crown.
From 8 January 2023, the British Health and Safety Agency will also start to test tourists from China.
Health Secretary Steve Barclay said the UK government was taking "balanced and precautionary measures" which were "temporary" as health officials assessed the latest coronavirus figures.
The Department of Health also said testing would only be limited to travelers flying direct from China to UK airports. For places such as Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, there are no direct flights from China to these areas. The British government is coordinating with these administrative departments to ensure that the testing policy is applicable across the UK.
After the CCP relaxed its strict control policy, the epidemic broke out in a large area in China, and the CCP government announced that it would lift the exit restrictions on 8 January. Countries including the United States, India and France have introduced rules requiring testing for Chinese tourists.
The head of the World Health Organization said it was "understandable" for some countries to impose new restrictions.
China’s foreign ministry declared earlier this week that the outbreak was generally “controllable” but the UK government said the new restrictions were imposed because of a "lack of comprehensive health information shared by China".
Spain, Israel and South Korea also announced on Friday that they would introduce new testing requirements in response to rising infections in China.

The epidemic situation in various parts of China is out of control, and news of death continues to spread. A few days ago, Zhang Wenhong, director of the National Center for Infectious Diseases of the Communist Party of China, said that the infection rate of this wave of epidemics is very high, and the infection rate during the Chinese New Year may reach 80%. In this regard, netizens directly refuted him: "Stop predicting, more than 80%? Go to the crematorium to experience it for yourself."
On 29 December, Zhang Wenhong said at a series of lectures by experts on "Scientific Epidemic Prevention and Health for the People" that the infection rate of this wave of epidemics has been very high, and the entire infection rate in many large cities has exceeded 50%. By the time of the new year, it has already reached 60%, 70%, and 80%.
Zhang Wenhong said that because many rural areas and small cities have not yet experienced large-scale infections, if family members have not been infected, there has not been a major epidemic in the local area, because the movement of people during the New Year will definitely increase the risk of infection across the country. He called for a reduction in gatherings of more than 100 people.
Recently, the Chinese Communist Party's epidemic prevention experts have frequently predicted the epidemic situation, which has also aroused public discussion.
Popular Internet blogger V "Frost Leaf" said, "I feel (you) worry too much, gathering more than 100 people. Around the New Year, besides the wedding, there are only funerals left... So many people are busy queuing up for the burning. After one family is burned down, the funeral cannot be held. There are so many people whose old people are gone, and the wedding can't be held..."
Big V "Director Zhang Junyang" said, "Now the national infection rate should be quite high. There are almost no people on the road, and the store is closed. It is recommended that experts shut up."
"Women Director Guang" said, "I don't need him to predict, I have counted more than 90% of the people around me."
"IronMan Ono" said, "My dad is in the seasoning business for rural banquets. He said that our county can hold banquets now, but no one dares to do it. Even if you dare to do it, no one dares to eat it. There is no need to suggest it."
Big V "Civil Law Li Shuai" said, "Take good care of your patients, don't predict blindly~ Last year you predicted that last winter would be the last severe winter of the epidemic, and the epidemic broke out in Shanghai; Fever, cough; do your job well."
Big V "Blue Lin" said, "Zhang Wenhong might as well experience the service of the crematorium for himself, don't keep predicting."
"Wutong Shuying 202105" said, "My colleagues, my circle of friends, and my family are almost dead, more than 80%? That means the whole army is wiped out, okay?"
"SpecialAhan" said, "Do you still need Chinese New Year? "100% on my side now".
"Zhi Moyan" said, "I'm in the countryside, and my neighbors and relatives have been infected again. It's no wonder I'm not 80 yet!"
On 29 December, at the "2022 Phoenix.com Finance and Economics Summit", CCP epidemiologist Zeng Guang also said that the rate of covi infection increased faster than expected, "We did not expect This time, the first wave will be fierce.” The number of people infected in Beijing may exceed 80%, and it may even be higher.
In addition, on 30 December, Hainan Province held a press conference on epidemic prevention and control. According to the official report, in recent days, the number of daily new infections in Hainan Province has been at a high and fluctuating period, and the province's estimated survey infection rate has reached 50%.
According to the survey, as of 25 December, the infection rates in Sanya and Haikou were 57.1% and 52.8% respectively, and that in five cities and counties including Baoting, Danzhou, Ding'an, Wuzhishan and Dongfang was close to 50% (the infection rate was between 41.0% ~48.5%), and the other 12 cities and counties are in a rapid "climbing period" (the infection rate is between 25% and 37.5%).
From 19 to 25 December, the infection rate in urban areas exceeded 40%, while that in rural areas was about 24%. Urban areas saw the peak of infection first, and rural areas saw the second peak. From the perspective of the infected population, the infection rate of the 20-29 age group is the highest, reaching 40.1%, followed by 30-39 years old and 40-49 years old, with 38.6% and 35.9%, respectively, and 19.3% over the age of 60.
A few days ago, the Sichuan Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention released the results of a survey on the covi infection rate, which showed that 63% of the respondents were diagnosed with the epidemic, and another 28% had not been tested but had symptoms such as fever and cough. Based on this calculation, the number of infected people in Sichuan may exceed 52 million, and at least 60% of the whole country, or more than 800 million people, are infected.
On 30 December 2022, Airfinity, a UK-based health data organization, updated data, indicating that since 1 December 2022, the cumulative number of infections in China has reached 200.4 million, and the cumulative number of deaths has reached 110,000.
The company estimated in a statement on 29 December 2022 that the epidemic in China will reach its first peak on 13 January, when the number of daily infections will reach 3.7 million. It is predicted that the peak of deaths from the epidemic in China will occur on 23 January, when the number of deaths in a single day will rise to about 25,000, and the cumulative number of deaths will reach 584,000. By the end of April 2023, the death toll from the epidemic in China will reach 1.7 million.
At the beginning of December this year, the CCP suddenly canceled the "dynamic clearing" policy, and the epidemic spread rapidly in various places and spread to the countryside. Hospitals everywhere are overcrowded, the death toll has soared, there are long queues at crematoriums, and medical staff infected with the epidemic are also required to go to work. All places are overwhelmed.
In fact, the large-scale epidemic in China has already begun. A senior political and legal official in Beijing revealed to Radio Free Asia that as early as the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in November, infections in Beijing hospitals were already serious, and a large number of retired senior officials died. The authorities have been concealing the epidemic until around the beginning of December when the medical system in Beijing collapsed.
As far as he knows, among the retired officials who died in the hospital due to delay in treatment, there are at least 6 "at or above the departmental level".
Recently, a large number of senior CCP officials, party members, and well-known experts and entertainers have died one after another. However, the CCP conceals that the cause of their deaths is related to the epidemic, and on the other hand, continues to conceal the truth about the epidemic from the Chinese people and the world.
