China Risks 1mn Covid Deaths In ‘Winter Wave’ As Restrictions Are Lifted

Market Watch: A speedy reversal of China COVID-19 restrictions could cause 1 million winter deaths: report 

Chinese authorities appeared to bend to the will of the people on Wednesday by easing some of the harshest COVID-19 restrictions, but a new study showed the high price the country will pay if it tries to reopen too fast. 

Asian macroeconomic advisory firm, Wigram Capital Advisors, is warning of a “winter wave” of COVID infections that could swamp the healthcare system, according to a report in the Financial Times, which reviewed the firm’s models. 

Wigram, which takes into account vaccinations and age data in its modellings that it has provided to governments throughout the pandemic, is predicting a death toll of 20,000 a day by mid-March in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, with daily hospitalizations peaking at 70,000.

Um, where did this number, "THOUSANDS of people every day," come from?

Maybe they're panicking and doing these insane lockdowns because this variant might be the one ("accidentally") bio-engineered to sicken indigenous dna.

Maybe these deaths can be attributed to low social credit scores.

Given China's disgusting eating and hygiene habits, thousands probably die every day just from food-borne diseases. Like eating tiger penises, powdered rhino horns, monkey brains, and whatever other shit they consume.

The WHO puts it around 1500 to 2000 per day right now and that's with "zero" coming from China and a few other places left out of the count. Probably safe to say thousands as in a few thousand.

^ Don't forget shark fins, which are harvested leaving the remainder of the shark bodies to rot in the ocean.

^ Over the last 50 years, how many have died per day, on average, from NON-covid flu?

According to CDC estimates (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html#), over 40k US residents died of influenza-related illnesses in 2018/19 alone. BEFORE Covid.

Or in layman's terms 0.003% of the population you got more of chance of dying from slipping on a banana peel

Hey, that's more than die from gun violence, which is mostly due to gang activity. WA and OR just passed gun bans, which will no doubt scare off these criminals. Also, don't understimate banana peels. You ever smoke one back in the day? Don't bother.

^ Maybe they should make gang killings illegal. That'll put a stop to them.

if you think gun deaths in your country are from gangs then you need to read this:

China Building a Bio-Lab in Florida !!!

yes over 30 years about 36,000 per yer

and enlighten us: who in that society by race, age and location ( city or rural ) are causing most of those deaths?????

Waiting....


Because I am sure it is those horrible racist deplorable working white males over the age of 50 who list farming as their occupation.

USA does not have gun problem....it has a culture problem. and the ownership of guns is not a causation of that problem.

Where I live COVID only killed nursing home patients. In the US COVID killed under 350 or 300 children and those had pre-existing conditions like cancer.

With more testing of of RSV, flu and COVID, doctors, honest doctors, will find that the answer might be all of the above and that the deceased were on their last legs before any respiratory virus hit them.

TBH nursing homes are none for their calisthenics programs and the great verve and vigour of their residents. Look at Fred. He is feisty!

Is WNU a chicken little sleeper agent?

The US has about the same number deaths by guns per 100,000 as Great Britain

FACT!

That is the white part of the population


The black part of the population is high.


I blame liberals like Fred, who have gone von Munchuasen on a whole community for greed and power.

When I open a newspaper and read about a murder, 19 times out of 20 it will be a black person murdered by a black person, because liberals miseducated them despite spending more money per black child. That shit is on purpose.
