As Chinese workers increasingly fall ill, more disruption is expected in the short term before the economy bounces back later next year. Zhang Wenhong, director of the National Center for Infectious Diseases, was quoted in Shanghai government-backed news outlet The Paper on Thursday as saying China “is expected to reach the peak of infections within a week.”
A Shanghai hospital has estimated half of the commercial hub’s 25 million people would get infected by the end of next week.China’s abrupt change in policy caught a fragile health system unprepared, with hospitals scrambling for beds and blood, pharmacies for drugs and authorities racing to build clinics.
“I am very concerned for China because of lack of vaccination in the highly vulnerable population, overstretched healthcare system, systemic inequalities in a country with varying healthcare standards,” said Leong Hoe Nam, an infectious diseases doctor at Rophi Clinic in Singapore. As COVID rages through one Chinese city after another, residents who lived under the constant stress of potentially being forced into isolation are now learning to live with the virus.

Well it did come from a Chinese lab, so I guess that you reap what you sow …
I knew Chinese products where cheap and weak but didn't know even themselves were that weak Weeh 😂
What's crazy is how they can tell us the peak is a week away And now they can predict extra strains Wow
Even though we know our government will allow these Chinese to come to our country we need ban to entry into our country before we regret like the inception of this virus whereby it hit our lives badly
China is realizing you can't stop it, only delay it. China is going through what most of the rest of the world did 2yrs ago.
Continue to report no new deaths. Jirr. This is now beyond crazy.
