Canberra:
Deaths attributed to Covid in China have increased to 9,000 people per day, according to a data firm, reported news.com.au, an Australia-based publication.

The news.com.au report also says, "British-based research firm Airfinity has doubled the number of people it estimates are dying from Covid in China as the number of infections soar. It comes after Beijing lifted draconian zero-Covid health measures in November that had been in place for years."

Protests erupted across China due to the harsh lockdowns after 10 people died in an apartment fire. There were allegations that firefighters were stopped from coming inside the apartment block due to the quarantine orders.

The country reversed its Covid policy due to widespread protests in its nine cities.

"Airfinity said its model was based on data from China's regional provinces before changes to reporting infections were implemented, combined with case growth rates from other former zero-Covid countries when they lifted restrictions," the report said.

The total number of deaths in China linked to Covid in December may hit 100,000, with at least 18.6 million cases. By mid-January, there could be as many as 3.7 million COVID cases in a day. By January 23, a total of 584,000 deaths are expected in China.

According to news.com.au, "Beijing has been accused of withholding health information so it's hard to accurately assess the numbers. However, China's National Health Commission (NHC) last week confirmed that the country's current outbreak is the largest the world has ever seen."

"More than a billion Chinese could be infected with Covid by March. And more than 30 per cent of the population may have already been infected, that is up to 400 million people," according to a The Australian report.

The virus is continuing to spread rapidly in China. Workers, however, are being called to go to work unless they have extreme symptoms.

Since China relaxed its controversial zero-Covid policy last month, the second-largest economy is struggling to deal with the meteoric rise in coronavirus cases throughout the country which is putting a burden on its healthcare system.

British virologist and biologist Jonathan Latham, Executive Director of the Bioscience Resource Project, said that Beijing is not being open and transparent about case numbers or deaths and that only accurate data can lead to good decisions in China and elsewhere.

"China is not being open and transparent about case numbers or deaths. This is true for many countries though. It would be great to have truly accurate information on those points, however, since only timely and accurate data can lead to good decisions in China and elsewhere. Good data would also test the theory that newer variants such as Omicron have a lower inherent death rate," Latham told ANI.

This could hit us hard. Besides the virus spreading. They can’t have their economy crashing. And it’s sounds like it will.

We'll know something for sure where we are going about the same time the covid thread started in 2020, January 16th.

Did we quietly hit them back with a new version that targets ethnic Han Chinese?

That seems to be a lot of deaths.

I think it's basically what Geert was predicting. Massive deaths in countries with high vaccine take up. China is reportedly at 90%, their immune systems aren't working. Same thing, but not deaths, is showing up at my daughter's work, vaxxed constantly getting sick.

"Tough Challenges Remain" In China's Fight Against Covid: Xi Jinping In New Year Message

"Tough Challenges Remain" In China's Fight Against Covid: Xi Jinping In New Year Message​

Xi Jinping said that China's extraordinary efforts have helped it prevail over unprecedented difficulties.​

Beijing:
China's President Xi Jinping on Saturday acknowledged that the current wave of COVID-19 sweeping across the country has "entered a new phase" and "tough challenges remain" as the World Health Organisation (WHO) has asked Beijing to provide more data about the coronavirus variants amid India and other countries ramping up measures to screen travellers from the Communist nation.

"We have now entered a new phase of COVID-19 response where tough challenges remain," Xi said in his New Year address to the nation, adding that it has "not been an easy journey" as the country has to face "unprecedented difficulties and challenges".

Speaking on national television from behind a desk in a wood-paneled office, Xi said that China's extraordinary efforts have helped it prevail over unprecedented difficulties.

"With extraordinary efforts, we have prevailed over unprecedented difficulties and challenges and it has not been an easy journey for anyone," he said without providing much information about the dire situation prevailing in the country.

During his address, Xi said that China has adopted COVID-19 response in light of the evolving situation.

"Since COVID-19 struck we have put the people first and put life first all along. Following a science-based and targeted approach, we have adapted our COVID response in light of the evolving situation to protect the life and health of the people to the greatest extent possible," he said.

"Officials and the general public, particularly medical professionals and community workers, have bravely stuck to their posts through it all. With extraordinary efforts, we have prevailed over unprecedented difficulties and challenges, and it has not been an easy journey for anyone," Xi added.

He said that everyone is holding on with great fortitude.

"And the light of hope is right in front of us. Let's make an extra effort to pull through, as perseverance and solidarity mean victory," he said.

This is the second time in the last few days Xi spoke about the prevailing grim COVID-19 situation in the country after his government overnight relaxed the zero-COVID policy early this month following public protests.

Since then cases stated to be variants of the Omicron spread like wildfire in the country.

Also the Chinese government's latest move to scrap the three-year-old quarantine from the 8th of next month opening up the international borders has caused concern all over the world.

The move coming ahead of China's Spring festival holidays during which millions of Chinese were expected to travel abroad has sparked fears of the virus spreading again.

After repeated appeals from WHO, China on Friday permitted its health officials to interact with WHO experts.

After the meeting statement from WHO said it "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 hospitalisations, 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".

China has not been releasing any data of the virus nor the deaths taking place in the country amid video reports of mortuaries filled with bodies, especially that of unvaccinated old people.

"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," the statement said.

Earlier on Thursday, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus defended the countries around the world taking precautionary measures to screen arrivals from China amid criticism from Beijing.

"In the absence of comprehensive information from China, it is understandable that countries around the world are acting in ways that they believe may protect their populations," he tweeted.

Tedros' remarks came against the backdrop of China criticising the countermeasures taken by various countries including the US, Japan and India requiring travellers from China to undergo the required tests.

Asked about Tedros' comments saying that the protective measures taken by various countries are understandable, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told media here on Friday over the past few days, authoritative medical experts from different countries have said that entry restrictions on travellers arriving from China are unnecessary.

Chinese official media criticised the screening of travellers from China.

A small number of countries and regions, such as the US and Japan see China's reopening as another chance to defame Beijing, a report in the state-run Global Times said.

They have imposed travel restrictions on arrivals from China, citing what experts called 'unfounded' and 'discriminatory' measures to defend their moves, but the real intention is to sabotage China's three years of COVID-19 control efforts and attack the country's system , it said.

In New Delhi on Thursday, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said that a negative COVID-19 report will be a must for passengers arriving in India from China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand from January 1.

We’ve been following this and the “new variant” in the big Corona thread for quite some time now
Helios is doing loads of work while we’re all sleeping….others have begun to help with information, too.

Go up and read the last SEVERAL pages.
What is happening in the UK will scare you, too.

Get ready
And yes, there've been warnings already regarding ANYTHING coming from China especially OTC meds being in critical shortages.
I just upped my Tylenol storage tonight.
Also stocked up on decongestant, as well as other things we use.

Kroger was almost bare in certain areas such as their brand of Mucinex, and in several Tylenol and Advil rows.

"Virus Should Just Go And Die": Anger In China Over Online Censorship

"Virus Should Just Go And Die": Anger In China Over Online Censorship​

China Covid Case: China this month scrapped repeated mass testing, centralised quarantine for infected people, and lockdowns, the hallmarks of a policy aimed at eradicating all outbreaks of COVID-19.​

Supriti David

China has massively reduced its reporting of nationwide figures on COVID-19 infections.

New Year's Eve in China prompted an outpouring of reflection online, some of it critical, about the strict zero-COVID policy the country adhered to for almost three years.

China this month scrapped repeated mass testing, centralised quarantine for infected people, and lockdowns, the hallmarks of a policy aimed at eradicating all outbreaks of COVID-19.

The sudden change to live with the virus has prompted a wave of infections across the country, a drop in economic activity and international concern, with Britain and France the latest countries to impose curbs on travellers from China.

On Saturday, thousands of users on China's Twitter-like Weibo criticised the removal of a viral video made by local outlet Netease News that collated real-life stories from 2022 that had captivated the Chinese public.

Many of the stories included in the video, which by Saturday could not be seen or shared on domestic social media platforms, highlighted the difficulties ordinary Chinese faced as a result of the strict zero-COVID policy.

Weibo and Netease did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

One Weibo hashtag about the video garnered almost 4 million hits before it disappeared from platforms around noon on Saturday. Social media users created new hashtags to keep the comments pouring in.

"What a perverse world, you can only sing the praises of the fake but you cannot show real life," one user wrote, attaching a screenshot of a blank page that is displayed when searching for the hashtags.

The disappearance of the videos and hashtags, seen by many as an act of censorship, suggests the Chinese government still sees the narrative surrounding its handling of the disease as a politically sensitive issue.

Many Weibo users complained about how the wave of infections had ruined the chances of a celebratory mood on New Year's Eve.

"This virus should just go and die, can not believe this year I can not even find a healthy friend that can go out with me and celebrate the passage into the New Year", wrote one user based in eastern Shandong province.

Others expressed hope the New Year would herald China's return to pre-pandemic life.

"I lived and worked under COVID throughout 2022... I hope 2023 is when everything can go back to what it was before 2020," said one user based in the neighbouring province of Jiangsu.

While the health authorities cited a "weakening" in the Omicron variant as the reason behind the scrapping of the zero-COVID policy, the reopening began just a few days after China had been rocked by the biggest show of public discontent since Chinese President Xi Jinping took office in 2012.

Nationwide protests erupted in late November mostly calling for an end to zero-COVID curbs. Beijing has not publicly recognised the protests.

NEW YEAR, NEW CHALLENGES

In the first indication of the toll on China's giant manufacturing sector from the change in COVID policy, data on Saturday showed factory activity shrinking for the third straight month in December and at the sharpest pace in nearly three years.

China's official purchasing managers' index (PMI) fell to 47.0 from 48.0 in November, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported. The 50-point mark separates contraction from expansion on a monthly basis.

China has massively reduced its reporting of nationwide figures on COVID-19 infections.

Cumulative infections in China likely reached 18.6 million in December, UK-based health data firm Airfinity estimated on Thursday.

But some estimates from state media suggest the number of infections is much higher. The infection rate in Sichuan province, which has a population of more than 84 million, is more than 64%, according to the state-run Health Times.

The infections have prompted international concern, particularly regarding the possibility of a new, stronger variant emerging out of China.

Britain and France became the latest countries to require travellers from China to provide negative COVID-19 tests. The United States, South Korea, India, Italy, Japan and Taiwan have all imposed similar measures.

The World Health Organization said on Friday it had repeated a request to China's health officials to regularly share specific and real-time information on COVID-19 in the country, including more genetic sequencing data and figures on hospitalisations and deaths.

China's narrow criteria for identifying deaths caused by COVID-19 will underestimate the true toll of the pandemic and could make it harder to communicate the best ways for people to protect themselves, health experts have warned.

Post a comment Only deaths caused by pneumonia and respiratory failure after contracting COVID will be classified as having been caused by the coronavirus, a leading Chinese medical expert said last week.

 

[poppy]

How you got that is beyond me.

I call for a little restraint. That's it. Just a little restraint.

Did we quietly hit them back with a new version that targets ethnic Han Chinese?

That seems to be a lot of deaths.

Not really when you consider the size of their population.

Taiwan premier inspects main airport ahead of COVID tests for arrivals from China​

PCR tests will also take place at ports on Kinmen, Matsu​

[IMG alt="Premier Su Tseng-chang (second right) inspects booths for PCR tests at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Saturday.

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) on Saturday (Dec. 31) visited Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport to inspect preparations for saliva PCR tests to be conducted on all travelers arriving from China.

Amid a massive spike in COVID-19 infections in the communist country, and the Jan. 20-30 Lunar New Year holiday, the government said that beginning Sunday(Jan. 1), all travelers arriving from China would be subject to the tests. The same measure will not only apply at airports, but also at ports on the outlying islands of Kinmen and Matsu, where ferries will arrive from the Chinese province of Fujian from Jan. 7 to Feb. 6.

At the airport, Su said the Lunar New Year holiday was the most important period of the year for family reunions, so traveling should be made comfortable for people returning home to Taiwan, but COVID prevention should not be relaxed, especially since the situation in China was not transparent.

The PCR tests would not affect passengers arriving from Hong Kong and Macau, the Liberty Times reported. Currently, only the Chinese airports of Beijing, Shanghai Pudong, Xiamen, and Chengdu operate flights to and from Taiwan. The airport at Taoyuan was expecting 9,142 passengers to arrive on 54 flights between Jan. 8 and Jan. 14, the peak travel period.

Premier Su said though the number of travelers was limited, the problem could be the emergence of a new COVID variant. In that case, Taiwan would immediately inform the world of its findings, he said.

 

[packyderms_wife]

The virus is continuing to spread rapidly in China. Workers, however, are being called to go to work unless they have extreme symptoms.


This could hit us hard. Besides the virus spreading. They can’t have their economy crashing. And it’s sounds like it will.

with death numbers like that it won't be long before they no longer have an over population problem.

9,000 x 365 = 3,285,000 per year, and they're how many years into this mess now?

Taiwan local COVID cases surge by 43% to 25,674​

CECC also announces 38 deaths, 81 imported cases​

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan reported 25,674 local COVID-19 infections Saturday (Dec. 31), a surge of 43.03% from the previous Saturday, as well as 38 deaths and 81 imported cases.

Figures for local infections dropped to just above 10,000 a day earlier in the month, but have been back above 20,000 since Dec. 27. A peak was expected in late January and early February amid a surge of new cases in China, and the Lunar New Year holiday. From Sunday (Jan. 1), passengers arriving from China by plane or ship must undergo saliva PCR tests upon arrival in Taiwan.

According to the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC), Saturday’s new local cases included 11,650 males and 14,010 females ranging in age from under 5 to 99. New Taipei City reported the highest number of local infections, 5,405, followed by Taichung City with 3,212 cases, and Taipei City with 2,981. Taoyuan, Kaohsiung, Tainan, and Changhua County each also reported more than 1,000 local infections Saturday.

The 38 newly reported deaths were 24 male and 14 female local cases aged between 40 and 99, with 35 suffering from chronic diseases and 23 not having received three vaccine shots. They were diagnosed with COVID between June 5 and Dec. 28, and passed away between June 7 and Dec. 28.

The 81 new imported cases included 44 males and 37 females, aged from under 5 to 79. They arrived in Taiwan between Nov. 30 and Dec. 30.


Since the start of the pandemic, Taiwan has registered 8,847,360 COVID cases, including 8,807,105 domestic cases and 40,201 imported ones. The 15,253 fatalities include 15,236 due to local infections, with New Taipei City registering 2,970 deaths, Taipei City 1,656, Taichung City 1,628, Kaohsiung City 1,505, Tainan City 1,136, and Taoyuan City 1,126.

Govt to conduct COVID-19 tests on all arrivals from mainland China

Govt to conduct COVID-19 tests on all arrivals from mainland China​

The Yomiuri Shimbun
17:46 JST, December 27, 2022
REUTERS
Travellers walk with their luggage at Beijing Capital International Airport, amid the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak in Beijing, China December 27, 2022.
The government has decided to test all those arriving in Japan from mainland China who intend to enter the country for novel coronavirus infection, starting Friday, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Tuesday.

As the number of infection cases has been rapidly increasing in China, viral testing will be conducted on all arrivals from China and also on people who have traveled to mainland China within the previous seven days.

The government aims to isolate those who test positive for seven days if they have symptoms, or for five days if they are asymptomatic.

As of Oct. 11, the government had abolished viral tests in principle for people entering the country from anywhere in the world, but the government will now resume testing for those coming from China so as to once more reinforce border controls for COVID-19.

Airport quarantine stations will use antigen testing kits to test for the virus.

If the test result is positive, the government will transport the individual by car to a hotel or another accommodation facility to isolate them.

Virus genomes will be analyzed for all those testing positive when entering the country.

It is believed that a new omicron subvariant called BF.7 has been spreading in China, but it is difficult to know the details of the situation.

Therefore, the government is seeking to prevent high-risk variants of the novel coronavirus from flowing into Japan by strengthening preventative measures during year-end and New Year periods.

The government will also limit airline services to and from mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau at Narita, Haneda, Kansai and Chubu airports. The government plans to prevent any increase in the numbers of flights on existing air routes going forward.

I doubt that.

Check out a chart from 2018 to 2022. I'll try to link to it. Interactive charts.

Look at the deaths per thousand in the U.S. That can't be right. A perfect inclined slope that never changes since 2018?

 

[Mark D]

9,000 people a day in a population of 1.412 BILLION is statistical noise... 8,600-ish people die every day in the USA, and our population is 1/5 the size of China's.

Go ahead and be scared if you feel like that enhances your life.

 

[naegling62]

9,000 people a day in a population of 1.412 BILLION is statistical noise.

If it's exponential?

 

[Mark D]

If it's exponential?

The ChiComs aren't freaking out like they were at the beginning of the WuFlu, so I doubt they're actually all that concerned... It DOES give them an excellent excuse to keep everybody locked down while the Central Committee figures out how to manage the lack of food/fertilizer/energy/etc.

 

[Publius]

That's 2,520,000 covid vax deaths per year!

When I calculated the number I just 7,000. X 30 to get a month and did not try to take into account for month of February with only 28 days and that there are 5 months in the year with 30 days and 7 months with 31 days.
So that would work out to 2,555,000. deaths per-year, your 2,520,000. is likely closer to what may happen.

There are reports coming out of Norway that funeral homes are trying to find places to store all the dead people and they claim most of them is from the covid vaccine, it seems that Norway had a large number of people that went got the vaccine, how much worse it can get is not known at this time.

 

[helen]

Look at the chart and do the math. Deaths increase every year. From one year to the next, you can do some subtraction to get the increase from one year to the next. 2020 and 2021 had larger increases from previous intervals, but the vax was mostly not available in 2020. And these are ALL deaths from any cause.

2018 has zero deaths from covid or vax. So subtract 2018 from 2020. Then subtract the increase between 2019 and 2018. That leaves mostly covid deaths.

But covid killed people on this board in 2021 who were not vax. So we know 2021 increase in deaths was neither all covid nor all vax. A lot of people died from preexisting conditions because they lacked routine health care in 2021.

 

[Wyominglarry]

I hope it goes to 100,000 deaths a day.

 

[helen]

I hope it goes to 100,000 deaths a day.

At 100,000 deaths per day, with no births, it will still take 27.4 years to kill them all at a current assumed population of only one billion.

I won't live that long.

 

[Countrymouse]

Sounds like J D Farag's source, from a couple of weeks ago, that "10,000 a day" (I assumed he meant worldwide, but he may have meant only in the US) are dying related to Covid (though more from vaccine effects than the Covid itself, per JDF)-- was about right--conservative, actually....

Yes, but Helen, what you have to do is ADD the two, together.

The "normal" death-rate PRE-COVID (and covid vaccines) PLUS the additional deaths NOW DUE to Covid and the vax...

2,839,205 +2,520,000 = 5,359,205 per year-- and that's assuming vax death rates don't continue to go up.....

 

[Warthog]

Looks like the more vaccines they give, the greater it grows!

 

[Knoxville's Joker]

first vaccine for covid was offered December 10 2020. Estimates were 2-3 years and mortality/fatality rates from the shot would peak. If this keeps growing, it will get bad.

 

[Profit of Doom]

with death numbers like that it won't be long before they no longer have an over population problem.

9,000 x 365 = 3,285,000 per year, and they're how many years into this mess now?

What’s their birth rate?

It is negative, majorly negative. The one child policy is basically causing national genocide from lack of positive birth rates, and it is several decades too late to reverse things...

In 40 years for every working chinese they will support 6 elderly. China HAS to kill off the elderly just to have positive economic growth going forward...

Why?!

I hope it goes to 100,000 deaths a day.

I’m flat out horrified that someone on this board would say this.

 

[Knoxville's Joker]

Deaths from vaccine?

Not neccessarily. China has HUGE organ transplant trade internally. Rumor is that the CCP leadership are ALL transplantees and they are petrified of catching COVID. Once they realized that their fear was going to topple them, they backed the f' off.

I have to wonder how many of these deaths are from transplantees, the silence on this fact is scary to me honestly...
