China abandons “zero cause” policy after the riots​

December 12 2022

The World Health Organization today welcomed the easing of the anti-strategy Corona virus disease in Chinaafter angry protests against Beijing’s zero-issue policy.

“We are glad to know that the Chinese authorities are adapting their current strategy and are already trying now to expand the measures to control this virus that are essential to life, livelihoods and human rights,” he said. Dr. Michael RyanHead of the WHO Emergencies Program during the regular press conference in Geneva.

Chinese anger over the hardline health line to fight the epidemic spilled over last weekend, with prof Mobilization on a scale not seen in decades.

The authorities responded quickly by increasing the police presence and stepping up monitoring of social media.

At the same time, many cities have begun to ease restrictions, such as abandoning mass daily tests that are one of the pillars of dull life under the coronavirus. No Covid case policywhich has been in effect for nearly three years.

Today, the Chinese president Xi Jinping – who enforced the zero Covid policy – argued that the “Omicron” variant of the virus, which is less deadly, allows for “more flexibility” in restrictions.

Dr. Ryan insisted that the unprecedented infection Omicron variant The virus has largely rendered the zero Covid policy, which might have been able to work in earlier variants or even the original strain, largely meaningless.

“It’s really hard to stop this and it’s slipping through your fingers very quickly,” he said, adding, “We have to try to protect the most vulnerable. When we can’t stop a fire, we keep away from people. The way to keep people away from fire in this situation is to vaccinate them.” “.

For his part, the Director-General of the World Health Organization said, Dr. Tedros Andanum GebreggsHe again warned of the continuing danger of a pandemic that has not yet ended. “We are much closer to being able to say that the emergency phase of the pandemic is over, but we are not there yet,” he said during the press conference. He warned that “gaps in surveillance, testing, contact tracing, and vaccination continue to create ideal conditions for the emergence of a new and worrisome variant.”

Probably gradually over the next 6 months and while watching for spikes. It’s a bumpy process but treating mildly infected patients early with medications like Paxlovid (two different strengths based on renal function) while also still isolating should help deal with most cases. The severe cases can get other treatments. So stocking Supplies at Chinese hospitals now, before the expected surges should be prioritized.

Best of luck to China on getting through this. The sooner China gets through this the sooner the world gets back on track.

This proves CPC tolerate protest and people alternate voice but for short period. Just a small time frame to make your point.

A prolong protest are disruptive to society and economy and livelihood of most Chinese.
CPC do listen to voice of ordinary Chinese.

Well apparently you're about to get millions of deaths now so what is it worth?

You dream

When China had draconian lockdowns, you claimed that China was violating human rights and when China is opening up, you claim that China will suffer millions of deaths, what's your real point anyway, you just do China bashing for the sake of China bashing? What's with this unconnditional hate? Your wife ran away with a Chinese guy?

I don't dream, I don't want that to happen lol. I just hate authoritarian governments. I think they're the worst.

And I don't like people mindlessly supporting them even more, never criticizing them for anything.

Xi was obviously on the wrong for enforcing a quarantine for so long and so strictly. It looks dystopian. He could have ended the quarantine 1 year ago already. There is absolutely no change in the COVID situation from back then.

So if you say that China's actions are legitimate because they saved millions of lives, you are also saying that this year's strict quarantine is also legitimate, implying it saved many lives, and since the COVID situation is the same, when you get out of quarantine supposedly millions would die.

So what's your point? China locks down, China bad, China lifts lockdown, China bad. You are just a stupid hater who is blinded by hate lacking basic logic and senses.

Average Chinese public never believe western approach for the pandemic is a good example

BBC reporter street interview in Beijing about the pandemic, ridiculed and mocked by the Beijing locals

"This is China, our country is always full of vitality, unlike your incompetent government, just leave people infected and die". The BBC reporter tried to laugh away this embarrassment and awkward moments in the interview.

This is the same BBC reporter who was in Xinjiang and made up Xinjiang concentration camp lies which later were debunked by a revisit by Chinese reporters.

Zero covid policy should go on, specialy where expensive goods to export to the West is manufactured, that will increase price, in the meantime state should sustain basic needs of common people.

Are you kidding me, Israel is the scourge on this planet, once China becomes powerful enough, she will help remove this tumor to the humanity.
