1) Developing countries tend to severely underreport deaths. Pakistan with 200mil+ people is reporting average of 0 death for the past few weeks. India with 1.4bil people is only reporting 3 deaths per day, and reported deaths is around 500K+ while excess deaths is around ~6.4mil...

Yeah sure, because I infiltrated Singapore, HK, Chile, Malaysia, and co-authored all these studies: / / /

Classic scene lol.

But if 生命至上 is as it is claimed, the economic/social costs of banning tobacco is nothing compared to zero-Covid right? It can save a million lives every year, so why not ban tobacco?

https://www.who.int/china/health-topics/tobacco The WHO estimates that tobacco directly or indirectly causes ~1mil deaths in China annually. To prove that 生命至上 is not a hypocritical slogan, China should start banning tobacco as well to save 1mil lives every year. While they are at it, China...

lol

Looks like it was a misreporting by CNBC. No wonder I found it weird that the booster rate among those aged above 80 increased by 25 percentage points in just two weeks. https://www.zaobao.com.sg/news/china/story20221130-1338598

It's just that China has largely kept out Covid so well for a long period of time, thus they don't think they will ever catch Covid and don't feel the urgency to get a booster. It's the same as HK earlier this year. Vaccination rates among the elderly were low until shit hits the fan, and then...

There's no easy fix. Deaths will still occur on a large scale, but at least you can try to minimize it. It's the same in SG since last year, but that's because the vaccinated population make up the vast majority of the population (>95% primary series vaccination rate for most age groups). It...

That's initial vaccination protocol (2 doses) and across the whole population instead of the most vulnerable group, the elderly.

Obviously there will be more deaths. I'm with agreement with Fauci that lockdowns is just a measure to buy more time, China should've pushed harder for vaccination for their elderly all these while: / It seems that booster rate among age 80+ have seen a significant uptick...

Sometimes personal pride matters more to leaders. Take Putin for example. The best course of action is to cut losses and withdraw his troops from Ukraine. It's humiliating to admit that you are wrong and Russia is actually not as strong as most people expected, but at least you minimize...

It's only comparable to the flu in SG due to multiple waves of infections and very high rates of triple dose vaccination among those aged 80+. It confers the society a high level of hybrid immunity through infections and vaccination. China has neither. And you have to take 4 doses of...

I've always held this view. They are venting their frustrations. The tragedy is a valve for them to finally express their anger. Err... on the internet? And you believe some random netizens without verifying yourself?
