COVID spreading faster than ever in China. 800 million could be infected this winter
2022-12-20
[NPR] China is now facing what is likely the world's largest COVID surge of the pandemic. China's public health officials say that possibly 800 million people could be infected with the coronavirus over the next few months. And several models predict that a half million people could die, possibly more.

"Recently, the deputy director of China CDC, Xiaofeng Liang, who' s a good friend of mine, was announcing through the public media that the first COVID wave may, in fact, infect around 60% of the population," says Xi Chen, who's a global health researcher at Yale University and an expert on China's health-care system.

That means about 10% of the planet's population may become infected over the course of the next 90 days.

#5  Makes you wonder whether the CCP is having second thoughts about its role in creating and releasing this virus.

#4  Why the recent CCP surge?

Could it be, the CCP is actually reporting real numbers now where they lied their a$$'s off in 2020, 2021 and early 2022.
