Chinese hospitals and funeral homes were under intense pressure on Wednesday as a surging COVID-19 wave drained resources, while the scale of the outbreak and doubts over official data prompted some countries to consider new...
China reported three new COVID-related deaths for Tuesday, up from one for Monday - numbers that are inconsistent with what funeral parlours are reporting, as well as with the experience of much less populous countries after they re-opened.
Four deaths in two days in a nation of over1.4 billion people!
It is obvious that Ron Desantis needs to send over his team of Florida covid vax sceptics. They will fix it right up. He might even throw some poor immigrants from Texas too. It would be a win/win.
The bleak reality of Covid in China: Sad but true in such a densely populated country.
What the Antivax and anti-maskers say:
MY STOCKS!!!!
MY BONDS!!!
MY DIVIDENDS!!!!
Work China Work!
I NEED A BIGGER SUV and LOCKDOWN won't CUT IT!!!!

That's the truth
The China policy was untenable. Even the WHO was against the China zero COVID policy as they were causing far more harm to the world than good. It's not all about the things you mention (but some of those things are important not just to the greedy capitalist, but to every person on the globe, a crumbling global economy is good for nobody), it is about getting necessary supplies to people who need them, decreasing inflation that is causing people to starve (118.7 million more people became food insecure in 2022 as a result of inflation), etc. Heck, the inflationary pain we are experiencing today is from our own well meaning, but ultimately misguided zero COVID policies. China was digging its own grave with its policies as global investors were pulling money and jobs out of the country. Yes, there will be some pain when they pull the band-aid off, but ultimately, this moves saves more lives than it takes. COVID will never be gone from the world. The idea that they could somehow remain insulated from COVID in perpetuity is not realistic.
What is occurring in China with COVID demonstrates it is more likely that not COVID was/is a lab creation. Humans and human-like mammals have lived in close proximity to bats for thousands of years then 2019???

It demonstrates ... 1918 version - "What is occurring in Europe with The Spanish Flu demonstrates it is more likely that not Spanish Flu was/is a lab creation. Humans and human-like mammals have lived in close proximity to pigs for thousands of years then 1918???"
It demonstrates ... 1981 version - "What is occurring in the US with AIDS demonstrates it is more likely that not AIDS was/is a lab creation. Humans and human-like mammals have lived in close proximity to chimpanzees for thousands of years then 1981???"

Be afraid!
Yeah, because the other 97,000 excess deaths over the same four days obviously had nothing to do with COVID. After all, that's what that ever-dependable source of truth, the Chinese Government, says.
I don't buy it yet. It is logical that if you re-open after a strict zero-covid policy you'll have lots of covid. But this article is entirely outsider speculation and anecdotes.
Covid deniers, anti-vaxxers and the like are idiotic, confused and paranoid people.
But what this shows is that China believes the Covid restrictions (which were significantly more restrictive than anything in the US, except maybe the initial lockdowns) are just not worth the damage they cause -- China has revised its cost-benefit analysis on Covid restrictions.
If Covid surges again in the US, which is very possible, I would hope our restrictions would be minimal, like wearing a mask in public, but would not involve school closing, vaccine mandates, and certainly not lockdowns (ever again). That's where I think most Americans would come down on cost-benefit of Covid restrictions now.

Bad, awful examples.
* Great War with hundreds of U.S. soldiers in close living quarters. Then soldiers from dozens of countries in close proximity. * HIV/AIDS has been traced back to 1930's. HIV/AIDS was slow and gradual growth, decades of incorrect diagnosis. * It's pretty much settled science that COVID was let loose from Wuhan Lab. It just isn't known if intentional or released with intent. Are you one of the last "bat" deadenders?

OMG, what if it's "surging" even now?
Fine. Give the actuarial #s for exactly who's croaking at this point--
Even vax mob fear monger cretins whose only REAL cause is $$$ (if involved in pharma or clickbait media), power or their own self-importance stopped telling us ** that ** by the summer 2020.
Sorry about 90 y.o. granny-- and Grant Wahl (ooops!)-- but at least she had a good run (unlike Grant.)
Could be a completely new variant that the government wants to keep quiet as to avoid creating mass panic. Imagine the panic just here in the U.S. if this is a complete new variant with complete immune resistance from any of the current vaccines. The Chinese government reports 90% of their population is vaxxed & something like this is occurring? Yeah...right, either they're lying or this is a brand new variant - maybe a lab release.
