Chinese families say elderly relatives are not being properly cared for as healthcare workers are taken for quarantine in adherence to strict COVID-19 protocols.

The conditions and deaths at the hospital are a sharp rebuke of China's strategy of sticking to a zero-COVID policy as it deals with the outbreak in Shanghai, in which most of the infected people do not have symptoms.

Shen Peiming, 71, was one such casualty. She died at Shanghai Donghai Elderly Care hospital without her loved ones by her side.Her last nursing assistant had been quarantined for being a close contact of a positive case, a relative said, speaking on condition of anonymity out of fear of retribution.

It wasn’t that long ago was simping for Australia to adopt a zero WuFlu policy.

Therefore imagine if they didn't have this approach.... ABC do better, why the fliff this is even a story that at this moment of time Aussies have to even think about it. What about the Prayer Room, the big corp tax evasion, the oligarchic media control in this f country?

So is it ok to question the zero covid approach when its not your own state government doing it, or is the media's cognitive dissonance allowing them to play revisionist history?

I find this photo offensive🍌 🐒 ?

China still using bed rails - I thought they were advanced and competition to western society.

China's medical system has not collapsed, no more than one million people have died of Covid-19, and the epidemic has not gone out of control. Any other country has similar achievement?

Cryout from Australia by Dave Hughes: Hey,my kids public school had run out of soap last week. If you keep the schools open next week THEY MUST HAVE SOAP. Washing hands without soap will not kill the Coronavirus. That’s a medical fact. coronavirusaus

My kids public school had run out of soap last week. If you keep the schools open next week THEY MUST HAVE SOAP. Washing hands without soap will not kill the Coronavirus. That’s a medical fact.

So being strict in a high density population is bad? Rather be like USA and their freedom policy and let thousands die, that's the price of freedom.

There’s so much more than people dying in hospitals going on in China, sad as it is. But it is easy enough from afar to find plenty of evidence of huge civil unrest citizens being beaten starved and suiciding too. Report it.
