And if that the number China is reporting the real number could be much higher

Indeed. I think they meant well with the zero tolerance policy, but that seems to be backfiring now. It seems to me vaccination and then letting nature take it's course is better than trying to lock everyone in their homes, or worse.

China culling the herd.

idiots.

We aren't far removed from having our own "Patriots" licking door handles and hand railings to "prove" that COVID isn't real.

How in the world do you even test that many people in a day?

I don't think welding doors shut to keep people in their homes is really meaning well.

If you standing in a line and person in front of you tests positive...safe to say next 5 are. Move along pls. lol

This flip side of this

The real number is much smaller but they put the 37 million number out there to say “See! This is what shown when you end zero tolerance lockdown”

Sure, I’m speaking in terms of trying to contain Covid, not so much about the perception and impact on people.

A spate of deaths among celebrities and public figures across China has sparked concerns that the actual death toll from Covid-19 may be far higher than authorities are reporting.

Many on Chinese social media have been mourning the death of actor Gong Jintang, who died aged 83 on New Year’s Day. He was known for his portrayal of Father Kang in the sitcom Kang’s Family, which first aired in 2000……

In late December, China’s National Health Commission stopped publishing daily Covid data. The World Health Organization earlier this week criticised China’s “very narrow” definition of Covid deaths, warning that official statistics were not showing the true impact of the outbreak.

China has recorded only 22 Covid deaths since December and has dramatically narrowed the criteria for classifying such fatalities, meaning that Beijing’s own statistics about the unprecedented wave are now widely seen as not reflecting reality.

The recent deaths of public figures like Gong and Chu has led many in China to question official Covid data…….

The newest COVID-19 variant is so contagious that even people who've avoided it so far are getting infected and the roughly 80% of Americans who've already been infected are likely to catch it again, experts say.

Essentially, everyone in the country is at risk for infection now, even if they're super careful, up to date on vaccines, or have caught it before, said Paula Cannon, a virologist at the University of Southern California.

"It's crazy infectious," said Cannon, who is recovering from her first case of COVID-19, caught when she was vacationing over the holidays in her native Britain.

"All the things that have protected you for the past couple of years, I don't think are going to protect you against this new crop of variants," she said.

The number of severe infections and deaths remains relatively low, despite the high level of infections, she said, thanks to vaccinations – and probably – previous infections. But the lack of universal masking means that even people like her, who do wear masks, are vulnerable..........
