COVID Is Definitely Not Over in China

"China’s Post-Reopening Second Covid Wave Could Peak in Late June, Expert Says"

"What’s new: A prominent infectious disease expert said China’s post-reopening second Covid wave that’s currently sweeping through the country could peak in June, with around 65 million cases detected every week by the end of next month, official media reported.

"Zhong Nanshan, director of the National Clinical Research Center for Respiratory Disease, said at a forum Monday that he made the prediction based on a predictive modeling analysis. Zhong said this wave of infections was triggered by the omicron subvariant XBB, which is spreading rapidly in parts of the world, according to a report from Nanfang Daily, the official newspaper of the Guangdong provincial committee of Communist Party of China.

Covid cases began to surge in China in April and could reach 40 million per week by the end of May, he said in the report."

America should ignore this at its own peril.
