RIPChinese sites are reporting the death from Covid of a leading member of the Beijing Opera.

本轮疫情蔓延速度之快之广，前所未有。尤其北方地区肆虐疯狂，也根本不是之前说的重感冒。蹊跷！ pic.twitter.com/XecmKjhYfO— 罗翔 (@GFBW520) December 20, 2022
The human tragedy of COVID-19 decimating the Chinese people is due to the willingness of the government, and its president, to prioritize control over the welfare of their citizens. When trump conflated ways to treat COVID-19 on solid surfaces with treating human beings he was quickly denounced and scientists continued their efforts to develop safe and effective vaccines. China maintained lockdown measures, which were necessary when there were no treatment options, and later because their vaccines were virtually useless and poorly distributed because they refused to accept US/EU-developed vaccines. Spare me the quackery and political disinformation. China needed efficacious vaccines and a plan to distribute them.
The so called vaccines are unsafe and ineffective.

Great website for science filtered through an anime story.
Pretty damn funny!
Thanks for the update, Rip van Winkle.
Comrade H surly you can do better. As I suggested after your last disinformation always look up. Since then 2 more comrades have “thrown” themselves out 6th floor windows. In the first 17 days of December Chinese Public Health officials estimated ~ 250 million COVID-19 infections, cremation centers are backed up for 2-3 weeks and hospitals are inundated with seriously ill patients. I would wager you one of your big coin payments that Chinese government officials are all fully vaccinated with US/EU vaccines.
Right on, Amos!
They found a safe ledge to climb up to but had no provision to get back down again.
I’m surprised they just dropped the COVID measures so suddenly. A mere announcement that they would *begin* carefully winding it down probably would have been enough to quiet the protesting population.
An authoritarian centrally-planned economy should have been able to do that… but they didn’t.
Beautiful China has decided that the West is an enemy and would rather its people die than accept a more effective vaccine from them.
I live in China (my 11th consecutive year), and while “everyone” is getting sick, “everyone” is also recovering (average time, five to ten days). So, yes, it’s terrible that this performer died. On the whole, however, COVID is proving here to be what it has proven to be in the West for the last year or so–nasty and brutish but also relatively short.
Tell that to the families that are stuck in miles long lines of cars with dead relatives and no one to accept them for cremation. Try searching CNN for the video and on-site commentary.
