    It’s unclear to me how well China’s population is protected. There are two questions that seem to top the list. First, how immune are individuals? Do they have the vaccinations necessary to handle this strain of COVID-19? Second, how well equipped is the health care system? Is there enough capacity to handle patients coming in? How are stockpiles of pharmaceuticals that have been shown to be effective in treating acute COVID-19 infections?

      They are actually very vaxxed up over 80% so ppl are going back to claiming their vaccines are shit. Keep in mind the severity of the pandemic in the US (which everyone is comparing the numbers to) is not reflected in the numbers. Our testing was garbage, we had a huge spike of unidentified respiratory disease deaths. China’s probably just going to release real numbers which are proportional to their population and everyone is going to froth at the mouth about mass deaths.
