CoronaVirus howls to wipe out 60% of China and 10% of global population in next three months, killing millions

Until recently, when people were just beginning to breathe freely again, news of a serious and highly transmissible outbreak of a new subvariant, Omicron BF.7, hit the radars. Cases from China are on the rise.
Eric Feigl-Ding, an epidemiologist and health care expert, has expressed concern about the sudden increase in cases in China. Hospitals are overburdened with patients, and graveyards are running out of places to bury the dead. Over the next 90 days, the epidemiologist estimates that more than 60% of China and 10% of the world’s population will be infected, with millions of people dying. The capital of China, Beijing, has reported that one of its designated crematoriums is flooded with dead bodies as the virus has swept the entire country in a matter of days.
The capital of China, Beijing, has reported that one of its designated crematoriums is flooded with dead bodies as the virus has swept the entire country in a matter of days. According to people who work at the Beijing Dongjiao Crematory on the eastern outskirts of the Chinese capital, there has been an increase in requests for cremation and other funerary services, according to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) .
“Since the Covid reopening, we’ve been overloaded with work,” said a woman who answered the phone at the crematorium on Friday, adding, “Right now, it’s 24 hours a day. We are unable to keep up.”
According to local reports from China, people are rushing to pharmaceutical factories to buy ibuprofen because it is completely sold out elsewhere.
According to Feigl-Ding, the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) goal is “let whoever needs to be infected, infected, let whoever needs to die, die. Early infections, early deaths, early peak, early resumption of production.” China has reported no Covid deaths in Beijing since the authorities announced four deaths between November 19 and 23.
When politics is injected into a virus, it is often the people who are contaminated. Because of limited exposure, low vaccination rates, and inadequate investment in emergency care, 1.4 billion Chinese people have been affected by this sudden surge in cases.
In other news, India, following a high-level meeting on the current Covid scenario, has begun a process of random screening at all international airports. The government has also advised its citizens to wear masks in crowded places.
