Health experts say China's sudden loosening of strict Covid rules is likely to trigger a surge in severe cases in coming months, and hospitals in big cities are already showing signs of strain.
"Our hospital is overwhelmed with patients. There are 700, 800 people with fever coming every day," said one doctor at a tertiary hospital in Sichuan province. "One of the reasons we had such a high mortality rate is because we simply didn't have enough hospital resources to cope in the surge. And unfortunately, that is what is going to happen in about one to two months time in the mainland," he said.
The sudden loosening of restrictions has sparked long queues outside fever clinics since last week in a worrying sign that a wave of infections is building, even though official tallies of new cases have trended lower recently as authorities eased back on testing.
Bla bla bla
The never-ending roundabout of propaganda.
sure they can just build new hospitals in a few days like they were so happy to show the rest of the world how much better their system is! nevermind that none of those quick built structures are still safe to use! China is the best so it's fine lmfao
Everyone who thinks that this is just a flu conveniently forgets that flu can overwhelm a health service as well. 😁
Can't resist feeding the fear-mongering don't you RTE? Pff!!
Siri define 'gaslighting'
Should be treated as a flu. Cut the nonsense!
Maybe then they will make efforts to clean up the filthy mess their environment is in. Maybe then filthy diseases that come from there might stop. I’ve lost friends to covid. The communist party in china took no action on credible reports of a new severely damaging disease in ‘19
Give over ffs.
It's a flu stop the scare mongering
Where's the miracle vaccines gone 🤔
