Chinese city seeing half a million Covid cases a day – local health chief
The figures reported by Qingdao’s municipal health chief were in stark contrast to official statistics from the central government

The morgues are full and bodies are kept in containers.

According to early reports they are burning bodies at max and even with that they got bodies piled up waiting. The whole reason we have this mess is because the Chinese Government refused to acknowledge they released something from their secret labs and now they are going back into this mode. I am sure all the top Chinese officials are all locked up now along with their families and will not even step out their doors. Madness, no other words.

As cases explode, China’s low COVID death toll convinces no one

The hospital could not keep the body – there were already too many in its morgue. When he called the crematory, an employee told him he had to wait a week. When he called again, nobody answered.

The CCP has screwed the pooch on this since the last days of 19.
One would hope that this would be the nail in the coffin for them, but it's the Chinese people going into the cremation oven.

Perhaps they'll do the same with their GDP numbers too in a few years

i don't think the release was on purpose, but the lab leak theory is the most likely given the evidence we have to date - check out some of Dr. Campbell's latest videos aboutthe lab leak theory.
but i agree with the above comment, the idea of chinese FACE screwed the CCP response; the results of which we are seeing today come back and bite them in the butt. remember those disgusting diplomats posting images of burning pyres in india vs chinese space rockets; their wuhan disco party while NY morgues were drowning in bodies...etc, such a disgustiing government, what a joke

Probably the most honest thing they have done.

That is still completely false, the most likely theory by much according to many kinds of evidence is the natural origin, the same that has caused every other pandemic in human history. When your only evidence to support this is a "video" you are already recognizing actual scientific evidence do not support this belief, because actual published scientific articles clearly say the only realistic possibility for the origin of the pandemic is natural.
This of course do nothing to absolve the CCP that disregarded agreed measures to keep outbreaks from becoming a pandemic and instead choose to hide information until it was too late to do anything.
This time they are choosing to do the same by hiding the information that proves their failure to prepare during these years, with experts clearly concluding thousands of people are dying every day without any actual need.

the "video" is by a respected doctor in the field providing an outline based on various scientific studies and papers. genetic studies show that early cases all had the same genetic makeup, as compared to the natural origin theory where you would expect genetic makeup to be more varied across regions. the result is that the source likely came from one location, the one with the same genetic makeup as those from the wuhan lab
but its all conjecture at this stage, because CCP desotryed/hid all the evidence to sAVE FACE

For all the crab the China haters are giving the CCCP for doing the same things the rest did like spinning a new tale on Covid lockdowns no longer being necessary (it wasnt necessary in the first place) or cease reporting Covid infection figures (which is a direct result of reclassifying Covid as no more than a flu), one must be amazed at the speed they can U turn. Rapidly increasing mass infection and re-infection is necessary for them to keep up with the rest of the world in attaining natural immunity. So the speed they are catching up with us all in mass infection cannot be condemned but actually instructive. Give them another few months of mass deaths and massive infections and then they are no less susceptible to Covid as everyone else is who has opened up. Then with them on par, you will sense real competition in every thing from a very competitive culture. Thats when being more nasty to them will heat up.
