Chinese desperate to see their relatives.
Did he give in to the protestors? XI was facing a torrent of protestors over his lock-up shut-down policy. In the end he relented to much fanfare. However, this has not gone well, morgues are filling up faster than northern California rivers. Hospital beds are so scarce that hospitals informed would be patients to bring their own beds. Imagine sick people carrying a mattress on their back. Crematoriums are engulfed in flames 24-7, business has never been so good. What gives?
Does Xi have an ulterior motive? Is this some form of population control? Let them have the pleasure of movement to infect each other until there is not one protestor left. Can this be the case here? The ultimate hunger-game.
We all know that the Chinese Jab is nothing more than a saline solution in a needle. Other countries are one step ahead this time by not allowing any Chinese into their country without a negative test a day or two prior to entering its borders. But apparently, they never heard of fake papers.
With China’s opening up, millions upon millions of Chinese citizens living abroad are making the trek home – some for the first time in five years due to the lockdown. We wonder how many of them will be infected and die. Most are enroute to visit relatives in celebration of the Chinese New Year.
The World Health Organization (WHO), we have mentioned them before, run by a biased shakedown artist. Maybe they have seen the devil this time because their take on the situation is not reminiscent of their prior stance. Currently accusing the Chinese of not accounting for, or for that matter, under counting the number of deaths. Low and behold, the WHO has confessed of their sins.
WHO meets with Chinese officials on current COVID-19 situation
A high-level meeting took place on 30 December between WHO and China about the current surge in COVID-19 cases, to seek further information on the situation, and to offer WHO’s expertise and further support.
High-level officials from China’s National Health Commission and the National Disease Control and Prevention Administration briefed WHO on China’s evolving strategy and actions in the areas of epidemiology, monitoring of variants, vaccination, clinical care, communication and R&D.
WHO again asked for regular sharing of specific and real-time data on the epidemiological situation – including more genetic sequencing data, data on disease impact including hospitalizations, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and deaths – and data on vaccinations delivered and vaccination status, especially in vulnerable people and those over 60 years old. WHO reiterated the importance of vaccination and boosters to protect against severe disease and death for people at higher risk.
WHO called on China to strengthen viral sequencing, clinical management and impact assessment, and expressed willingness to provide support on these areas, as well as on risk communications on vaccination to counter hesitancy. Chinese scientists are invited to engage more closely in WHO-led COVID-19 expert networks including the COVID-19 clinical management network. WHO has invited Chinese scientists to present detailed data on viral sequencing at a meeting of the Technical Advisory Group on SARS-CoV-2 Virus Evolution on 3 January.
WHO stressed the importance of monitoring and the timely publication of data to help China and the global community to formulate accurate risk assessments and to inform effective responses.
