China reported nearly 3500 new cases yesterday,  have daily 300k-350k new cases,  and  aren't in good situation as well, it's sixth wave already, vaccines stopped working or people simply are too tired over this shit and don't follow restrictions, what you can say about that @Vic Liu @dophuquy?

I am really tired of this but I have to follow all instructions. Fortunately my city Beijing is not the center of this wave so nothing too much change for me and basically my life is as usual. Some other cities are under lockdown for 7 days.

Very low cases in our country, everything is open now. This happens to countries that follows the science and are willing to get vaccinated.

Yesterday, first time since January 26th last year there was a case of death for covid in , exactly two deaths. 

 

 cases are on so high level that they stopped reporting how many active cases they have...

 

Meanwhile in  probably since April all remaining restrictions will be lifted, including wearing masks in public transport and closed spaces like shops and so on.

North Korea has introduced a "lockdown".

 

I thought they already had it for the past 70 years.

Suffice to say things are running out of hand in China again and the numbers are getting doctored with so far unclear consequences...

Almost half population(700 million) got infected in December, 2022 this single month. As many of you already know, Omicron variant is highly contagious but with mild symptoms. Still the sudden surge created stress to hospitals and unavoidably some elderly with underlying disease passed away. However the peak has past now and people are ready to get life back to normal. I am already on my new year's vacation after Covid curbs lifted. The hype doesn't make too much sense right now, at least for Chinese.

I'm hoping that you are right, but according worldmeters today China reported over 14k cases, the biggest number since beginning of this disease. 

 

However Poland still did report cases once in week, but since April our Ministry of Health doesn't report recoveries, so, current number of 900k isn't anything close to current situation here, more people have basic flu instead.

China gave up counting over one night as too many people infected at the same time. The number you see I think basically are the ones newly hospitalized and need confirmed to use the almost free health care. But majority just buy some medicine and stay home to recover themselves. Like most other countries, Chinese don’t care about the number anymore and just move on.

No idea if information is still really being published about it here, it's mostly become just 'part of life', kind of. The recent thing is that there's another round of booster vaccines going on, apparently, but mostly for older people.
