HONG KONG — Hospitals in northern China appear to be “overwhelmed with sick children”
as the country grapples with a surge in respiratory illnesses
and clusters of pneumonia, prompting the World Health Organization to ask Beijing for more data.

That’s a good point.

Deja vu all over again.

What is the vaccination rate for children in China?

Fully immunized coverage under the NIP was 83.1% (95% CI, 82.0%-84.1%) at the national level and more than 80% in 7 provinces (province coverage ranged from 77.8% [95% CI, 74.3% to 81.3%] in Jiangxi to 88.4% [95% CI, 85.7%-91.1%] in Beijing).Dec 1, 2022

Deja Flu?

I listen to “lei’s real talk.” She’s a Chinese American who has a YouTube channel on the subject of the CCP. She pointed out that adults are being affected and they are being told not to report it or talk online. Any online mention of adults getting sick is being scrubbed. I suspect we’re in Covid 2.0. The government can’t prevent parents from taking their children to the hospital. You check in at the hospital to get a number. Then go back a day later to get one of three tests. It’s a separate line and day for each test. So, six days total before you see an “urgent” care doctor.

College students are being told if they don’t show up for class, they’ll fail the course. A nurse said her entire staff had high fevers but were required to be at work regardless.

China appears to be the cesspool of the world. Ever notice that all these diseases seem to have their origins in China? Perhaps the world would be a healthier place if China was cut off from the rest of the world.

Xi -— “excellent case study; how soon can we saturate the world with it?”

I think your information is correct given the official Chinese attitude and behavior during the initial outbreak of the covid virus in2019-2020 .
Your information is consistent to the official Chinese response to communicable diseases over the last two years.
Thank you for your insight !

Also, we don't have a truly independent verification as to the source of the covid virus

Many many scientists have examined the evidence and determined that the most likely source is a bat.

Does it really matter? The only pertinent part is that a virus crossed into humans from a wild animal, and that such cross-over events will happen in the future.

Kids don’t vote.

How many were vaxxed?

[MuttTheHoople]

I hear that the Bubonic Plague had its origins in China, not to mention the Spanish Flu that killed 50 million between 1918-1920.

CBS was pimping “The Tripledemic”.

[Vahan1987]

China doesn’t use mRNA vaccines.

[airborne]

Do they have their own vaccine?

And how safe is it?

(I doubt that they will ever release that data so I don’t really expect an answer)

[Vahan1987]

Sinopharm is one of them.

[airborne]

I did a search and found a lot of comments similar to what the CDC put out.

But it isn’t mRNA so who knows if there are adverse effects in children. The Chinese government would do what our government does.

Lie.

[ealgeone]

As IF chyna will give the right answers. IIRC during covid worldometers reported Chicom deaths at less than 100,000.

As if anyone believed that.

[ViLaLuz]

Triple-demic, tri-demic. The fear is being sown.

This reminds me of an RSV epidemic in kids when I worked in NM in 1999-2000. We had a small hospital 25 beds. We had to send kids out, and some of our usual hospitals that took sick kids were full, so one kid had to be air evaced to Texas.

I have also seen this in influenza epidemics but in adults.

What made it worse was a lot of hospitals closed the extra beds under the idea of efficiency, so when there was an epidemic they didn't have a place to admit patients
