Chinese hospitals were under intense pressure on Wednesday (Dec 28) as a surging wave of COVID-19 infections strained resources in the last major country to move towards treating the virus as endemic.
In an abrupt change of policy, China earlier this month began dismantling the world's strictest COVID -19 regime of lockdowns and extensive testing, putting its battered economy on course for a complete re-opening next year.
The move, which came after widespread protests against the restrictions, means COVID-19 is spreading largely unchecked and likely infecting millions of people a day, according to some international health experts.

I wonder how many of those admitted to hospital are forced to sign organ donor cards (or the Chinese equivalent if there is one)?
Are there even organ donor cards in China?
The Chinese medical model is one of organ health. Diseased organ? Replace it. The CCP elite can afford this. But they have to use immune suppressive drugs to reduce rejection. Now as Covid surges after ridiculous lockdowns, hundreds of high-ranking CCP rulers are dying.
Organ donor cards hard to implement in China, official says (Source) By Reuters Staff
BEIJING (Reuters) - A system of donor cards indicating consent for organ transplants will not work in China as families will insist on having the final say, and many people see nothing wrong in using organs from executed prisoners, an official said on Friday.
Nearly 1.5 million people in China need transplants every year, but only 10,000 can get organs, according to the Health Ministry.
Many of those organs are taken from executed criminals and rights groups say it is often done without their consent - something the government denies, even as it tries to move away from obtaining organs from death-row inmates.
“China has an obvious family hierarchy,” Huang Jiefu, who oversees transplants for the ministry, told a news conference when asked whether China could adopt an organ donor card system as practiced in countries like the United States and Britain.
“Every Chinese family has a core figure - be it the grandfather, father or grandmother - and this person has the final say,” he said.
In traditional Chinese thought, the body is a sacrosanct gift from your parents not to be defiled, Huang said.
“That’s why it won’t work without family consent,” he said.
However, Huang was optimistic that attitudes were changing, citing a ministry survey that found 70 percent of young people had no problem with organ donation.
China in 2007 banned organ transplants from living donors, except spouses, blood relatives and step or adopted family members, but launched a national system to coordinate donations after death in 2009. The organ shortage has driven a trade in illegal organ trafficking in the country.
Huang repeated that the goal was to reduce reliance on prisoners for organs by 2015, though he did not give any figures and China does not publish its death penalty numbers.
Still, many Chinese believe there is nothing wrong in using the organs of executed prisoners for transplants, he said.
“The legal philosophy of the death penalty is ‘an eye for an eye’ or ‘a life for a life’. The public believes that saving a life is a worthy redemption of a dead prisoner.
“Every organ donation from executed prisoners has written consent from both the individual and the family,” added Huang, who is an Australian-trained liver transplant surgeon.
But eventually, China will probably abolish the death penalty, so it will have to develop alternatives, he said.
“Depending on death row inmates for donations will lead China’s organ transplants to a dead end.”
That old article raises more questions re: organ donations. Does Covid create the chaos sufficient to take organs because family members are not present when bodies are made ready for cremation?
It wouldn’t surprised me. I suspected there weren’t many protections.
China’s idea of population control.
If the source is Reuters, you can assume it is 99% fiction......
kind of like the movies and books that are “based on a true story........”
“inspired by REAL events.......”
etc... ad nauseum........
The death toll will be the highest around the second half of January. If they would have done this in summer instead, they would most likely lose fewer people.
A fair guess is that the chicoms might be dealing with the first strain, a much more deadly one. Because of these hard lockdowns perhaps the less fatal strains haven’t yet made it largely through the population as much of the world has.
Just as our country was corrupt in counting deaths by gunshots, car accidents, suicides (for gummit money) the chicoms might be using this stuff to coverup their own messes unrelated to kovid krap.
I used it because it explains the situation fairly accurately.
That said, if you don't like it, why don't you take the time to post something better.
It’s pretty easy to be a fault finder, isn’t it? No real work involved other than running your mouth.
Covid is a LIE.........PERIOD!!!!
What is the ‘flu a.k.a Covid 19 and why vaccines are pointless at best.

How much (more) proof do we need? The “vaccines” DO NOT WORK!
The people commenting, so far, aren't buying this latest codswallop.
Wife woke up sick Xmas day.
Took her to urgent care next day...positive for Covid.
Took her home and gave her dose of ivermectin while waiting on Rx to fill - started feeling better before meds filled.
98% better by Tuesday.
This article implies we are treating this infectious agent as “ endemic” but I have yet to see any official announcement or policy change about this
We are still in a ( big pharm favorable) emergency
Universities hospitals and employers are still forcing experimental injections on us under an EUA
