Estimates: China Losing 5,000 People a Day ‐ Not 7 a Week ‐ to Coronavirus

[Breitbart] The British analytics company Airfinity published a report this week estimating some 5,000 people were dying in China a day as a result of Chinese coronavirus infections — a significantly higher number than the seven Chinese government officials admitted to all week.

The scientific estimate, based on analyses of hospitals and cases in the country, preceded a report published Friday by Bloomberg claiming that internal Chinese government documents show a staggering 37,000 coronavirus infections being documented a day in the country.

The Chinese Communist Party subjected its population to a brutal policy known as "zero-Covid" for nearly three years in which it implemented sudden, city-wide lockdowns and forced thousands of people into quarantine camps if testing positive for coronavirus, even if experiencing mild or asymptomatic cases. An untold number of people died of suicide, starvation, and lack of access to health care while the policy was in full vigor, triggering nationwide protests unseen since the pro-democracy movement crushed by the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989.

In early December, in response to the protests, communist officials announced that they had abruptly found the omicron variant causes less severe disease than previous versions of the Chinese coronavirus — a conclusion international scientists had reached a year ago — and therefore they would stop implementing "large-scale" lockdowns and allow people to forego being imprisoned in quarantine camps. The announcement prompted panic-buying of basic medicines such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen and has, anecdotal evidence suggests, resulted in massive overflow in the nation’s hospitals.

Currently, the former 98 ranked CCP is now 15th rank for New Infections.

CCP "officially" acknowledges:

393,067 Total Infections since it started.in 2020.

3,761 New Infections as of yesterday

No New Deaths and only 5,241 deaths since it started back in 2020.

Either way, it sure is an interesting New Math that the Communist Leadership uses.

#4 Besoeker, those significant long term Covid complications would help explain why CCP tried so hard to achieve zero Covid… if you assume they knew what was coming.

#5 NN2N1:

If they aren't cutting off the patients from ACE inhibitors, or antibiotics, and they aren't using Remdesivir, and aren't pursuing Zero Treatment until the patients are on a vent and dying, those could contribute to a markedly lower casualty rate.

And on top of that they could be using HCQ and Ivermectin.

#6 Ref #4: ....those significant long term Covid complications would help explain why CCP tried so hard to achieve zero Covid… if you assume they knew what was coming.

It is my understanding that 'long-term complications' of one kind for another, follow many of these pandemics.

Yours is a valid assumption.

#8 Vascular inflammation introduces tissue hypoxia during which cells are crippled or die.
Generalized vascular inflammation from 'long-term' fevers or caustic cancer treatments induce full body cell death due to blockages or full closure of small capillary channels. A presumed cause of Cognitive Problems or Changes in Thinking or 'chemo brain'.
