BEIJING: Desperate families searching for critical COVID-19 medication in China, faced with bare pharmacy shelves and an explosion of cases, are being driven into murky online marketplaces rife with price gouging and fraud. Beijing last month

The current COVID-19 wave has seen drug stores, as people snap up cold and fever treatments. Many have been forced to turn to sketchy online sellers with little guarantee of getting what they have paid for.

After being directed to a sleek"official" website, Qiu then forked out 12,000 yuan for six boxes of Paxlovid, according to payment records seen by AFP. Authorities in China have said they have begun shipping Paxlovid to some hospitals and community clinics, but the drug remains extremely difficult for many to obtain.

Despite those risks, the black market remains a common last resort for people like Xiao, whose elderly grandfather fell ill in December.

sigh , the Chinese obviously not educate enough about Omicron which is not lethal , flu is worst , flu take 2 weeks to recover , Omicron in my case 3 days , test negative . So sad , if they were informed , there wont be rush

Black market drugs= The award winning antiviral Ivermectin? 😉 That Big Pharma & affiliates tried so darn hard to repress due to no profits? lol. Perhaps The Chinese are INDEED doing much better than other countries that colluded with Big Pharma to use risky mRNA vaccines?

Western press and the big stir... its like a sick joke... that when China was locked up, world was laughing at their folly for zero covid policy, and citing Human Rights violation, etc...

opinion: by this time, antivirals paxlovid and mulnopiravirs should already be in the pharmacies around the globe , FDA approved. thank you
