Only 1% of tested positive in Shanghai have symptoms. Does that even count as a disease? If 99% who catch it don’t have symptoms?
China’s fear is a repeat of Hong Kong. Where we were so naive to Omicron, exactly because we had been successful with early Zero Covid, so got a huge spike, so China fears their own huge spike. And they too have lots of non-vaccinated elderly. So they too could get a huge, world-beating spike in deaths as well. So it’s all resting on crushing the virus. Especially as Xi Jinping gears up for the 20th Party Congress in November.
Note the PPE in the photo above: that’s common all over China now.
