Since China was virtually locked down for three years, COVID immunity is low and many people haven't seen the need for vaccination, including older adults (via NBC News). With the zero-COVID policy suddenly lifted and no gradual transition plan in place
at all, cases are skyrocketing. And the peak is still to come, according to clinical virologist Dr. Siddharth Sridhar at the University of Hong Kong.
Dr. Sridhar also believes that China was one of the last places COVID had yet to spread. Since the outbreak is now happening, it won't have many other places to go after this, which could mean that it could be the pandemic's final frontier.
Natural immunity is still the way to end a pandemic.
Meanwhile....we have the BB something or other variant that once again is more infectious but less lethal. Another trend the experts who were silenced told us would be happening.
