China: Locked-Down Xi’an Shuts Down Hospitals For Letting Non-Coronavirus Patients Die
Breitbart ^ | 1-14-2922 | Frances Martel

The Chinese state propaganda outlet Global Times reported on Thursday that authorities in the locked-down metropolis of Xi’an had shut down two hospitals for three months, despite the Chinese coronavirus situation there being so severe that authorities largely ban people from leaving their homes.

The state newspaper reported ominously that the Xi’an Health Commission would require the hospitals to undergo “rectification” for at least three months, and they cannot open until the commission, part of the Communist Party government, deemed its protocol sufficiently improved. The individuals in charge of the hospital, the message continued, would be “held accountable,” without elaborating. It also reported that one of the hospitals, the International Medical Center Hospital, issued a profuse apology and a vow to “learn lessons from” the deaths.

Is the covid situation deemed severe because of active cases or because people are dying? If people are dying of covid, what variant do they have because omicron is not near as concerning as previous variants.

Also, saying this fully understanding the health and conditions in the city of Xian. I had some relatives that lived there for several years. The pollution is often so bad that it completely blocks out the sun.
