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.

WNU Editor: It is hard to believe that Covid is still killing thousands of people everyday.
Um, where did this number, "THOUSANDS of people every day," come from?
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
DeleteMaybe they're panicking and doing these insane lockdowns because this variant might be the one ("accidentally") bio-engineered to sicken indigenous dna.
ReplyDeleteMaybe these deaths can be attributed to low social credit scores.
ReplyDeleteGiven 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.
ReplyDelete^ Don't forget shark fins, which are harvested leaving the remainder of the shark bodies to rot in the ocean.
ReplyDelete^ Over the last 50 years, how many have died per day, on average, from NON-covid flu?
ReplyDeleteAccording 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.
ReplyDeleteOr in layman's terms 0.003% of the population you got more of chance of dying from slipping on a banana peel
ReplyDeleteHey, 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.
ReplyDelete^ Maybe they should make gang killings illegal. That'll put a stop to them.
ReplyDeleteHow about making flu illegal?
ReplyDeleteNow THAT'S an idea Congress should look into!
ReplyDelete^ Or at least Washington and Oregon
ReplyDeleteThe level of retardation
ReplyDelete"can't believe covid kills thousands of people every day"
SO DID THE FLU FOR MILLENIA
millions every year! Millions and millions and you idiots let them take every right, every liberty, assets, money, freedom for a virus
morons
if you think gun deaths in your country are from gangs then you need to read this:
ReplyDeleteIn 30 years, the US saw 1.1 million gun deaths -
I blame Oolong tea
ReplyDeleteRuss! think on this!!
ReplyDeleteChina Building a Bio-Lab in Florida !!!
yes over 30 years about 36,000 per yer
ReplyDeleteand 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.
ReplyDeleteWith 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
ReplyDeleteFACT!
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.

ReplyDeleteLOL I love this comment!
