Covid patients inundate Chinese hospitals, the majority of whom are given oxygen to aid in breathing. Crematoriums continuously emit smoke. We do not fully understand the current situation in china, which continues to label Western media reporting on its Covid response as "distorted," according to a WHO official. china recorded no Cvoid deaths on Wednesday. Long lines outside and inside emergency rooms and fever clinics, however, show how the infection has spread throughout the nation since the country started to abandon its strict zero-Covid policy.
According to a member of the emergency room staff, "almost all of the patients have Covid." The rapidity with which china, the last major nation in the world to treat the virus as endemic, lifted Covid restrictions has seriously overburdened an already precarious healthcare system.
Hospitals are running out of Covid-specific medications, patients in fever clinics are receiving cough medications, and China's indigenous Covid vaccine is still ineffective against novel Omicron variants like BF.7, which are responsible for the enormous increase. According to government data released last week, China's overall vaccination rate is around 90%, but among individuals who have received booster injections, the rate lowers to 57.9% and to 42.3% for those who are 80 years of age or older.
