BEIJING/SHANGHAI, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Hearses bearing the dead lined the driveway to a designated COVID-19 crematorium in the Chinese capital on Saturday while workers at the city's dozen funeral homes were busier than normal, days after China reversed tight pandemic restrictions.
In recent days in Beijing the spread of the highly transmissible Omicron variant has hit services from catering to parcel deliveries. Funeral homes and crematoriums across the city of 22 million are also struggling to keep up with demand as more workers and drivers testing positive for coronavirus call in sick.

I don’t believe it at all.
It makes no sense epidemiologically.
They could have waited a few weeks longer to make it seem feasible.
The only thing Dems have to cheer is FEAR itself!
Maybe these are organ donors, not Covid victims.
This is the same CCP propaganda tactic we saw in the very beginning in China. None of it was true then. Why would it be true now? Nothing comes out of the CCP’s China that is not pre-approved by Xi and his handpicked cadre.
> Who knows what to believe coming out of China.
And Reuters.
Correct, we can’t believe OUR govt or mediam so how can be believe China’s??
Warning! If you are on Linkedin, be careful of people trying to connect with you. If the photo is of a beautiful Asian woman claiming she is from Estee Lauder, or educated in Singapore, often with a clearly bogus name, it is actually Chinese intelligence trying to get information. Of course, Beijing Biden will do nothing about it.
False - Omicron is still FAR from lethal - with seasonal flu FAR more “deadly”.
Further - didn’t China vaccinate everyone?
Oh - and virologically speaking - just a few days after lifting the “zero COVID” mandates - is not enough time for a sudden massive wave of new cases to bring massive death.
Chinese new year starts at the end Jan, that’s gonna be fun fun fun. Hundreds of millions of people travel for that one.
Tài zāogāole
(Too bad, so sad)
Nah, no one’s falling for this crap again.
China - Lots of smoking and air pollution = Covid deaths.
I had Omicron and it was a Cold with a bout Myocarditis.
Didn’t China JUST DOWNGRADE COVID to a cold or mild flu???
Can’t believe ANYTHING coming out of China.
Thebattman: Further - didn’t China vaccinate everyone?
China’s home vaccine was inferior to what the West had. Xi would have lost face if he used a “sub human” brand from the West that would show up China.
Even Russia said the Chinese vaccine was worthless and used their own.
“ Didn’t China JUST DOWNGRADE COVID to a cold or mild flu???”
Good point. They correctly described it in at least one statement.
On seeing this headline, I wondered, “are we being set up — again?”
These were the same kinds of fear stories that were spread when COVID first began — people falling dead in the streets, contamination by being within 6 feet of a carrier, hospitals having patients waiting in long lines to get in, funeral homes maxed out with corpses stacked like firewood, etc.
People seem to be avoiding the current rounds of boosters. What could ‘they’ do to increase the odds that people would rush to get boosted?
Anything and anyone having anything to do with COVID has a credibility problem — and ‘they’ destroyed their own credibility with outright lies and disinformation.
“It makes no sense epidemiologically.”
It might, if much of the population was locked down (especially in the beginning) these people may have been exposed to the original version of covid which has shown to be much more deadly. The less harsher varieties never got to these caged populations. Only a guess.
“False - Omicron is still FAR from lethal - with seasonal flu FAR more “deadly”.
Not true. People are dying from Omicron every day. In the past 2 weeks the number of daily deaths in some NE areas has increased by almost 50%. NJ is seeing close to 20 COVID deaths a day which is way above the typical 6-7 a day we had been seeing for the past two months.
Now 20 a day is not the end of the world (unless you are one of them) but it is a pretty dramatic increase over the typical death rate.
Baloney.
They are not.
any hype or hyping of that is by folks who think we will fall for it again... New Jersey, really? all of the NJ statisticians are LIARS. the whole world knows it.
bye...
