China's Top Medical Adviser Warns Country Is Vulnerable To A Second Wave Of Covid-19 Infections



CNN: Exclusive: Lack of immunity means China is vulnerable to another wave of coronavirus, top adviser warns

China still faces the "big challenge" of a potential second wave of Covid-19 infections, the country's top respiratory authority has warned, with the lack of immunity among the community a serious concern as the race to develop a vaccine continues.

Dr. Zhong Nanshan, the Chinese government's senior medical adviser and the public face of the country's fight against Covid-19, also confirmed in an exclusive interview with CNN on Saturday that local authorities in Wuhan, the city where the novel coronavirus was first reported in December, had suppressed key details about the magnitude of the initial outbreak.

China has reported more than 82,000 coronavirus cases, with at least 4,633 deaths, according to data from the country's National Health Commission (NHC). The number of new infections surged quickly in late January, prompting city lockdowns and nationwide travel bans.

A lot of flu strains hit 2 winters in a row. So would this be novel one iota?

It won't be as bad. The Democrat governors will not be putting COVID patients into nursing homes anymore, because they do not want to be sued and go to prison.

They have stop and will not relapse, not out of the kindness of their hearts or due to science, but because the political gain is outweighed by their concern for their white hineys.

The Health Secretary of Pennsylvania took his mother out of a nursing home, when the Democrat government was packing COVID patients into nursing homes. He knew better.

The country is vulnerable to a "second wave." What he's in effect saying is the "first wave" failed to eliminate all of the undesirables. Therefore a "second wave" is needed. Of course if they need to they can bring us a "third wave," a "fourth wave," or as many "waves" as they deem necessary to accomplish their goals.

I suggest a lot of consideration should be given to the numbers reported, who the reporting source is and the overall population of China.
