WHO says COVID end in sight; deaths at lowest since March 2020

Hundreds of posts from Ghulja riveted users of Chinese social media last week, with residents sharing videos of empty refrigerators, feverish children and people shouting from their windows.

This is what happens during government overreach-people suffer!

Can the info from the WHO be trusted anymore? Who is verifying the China info? When will China end its massive lockdowns causing severe suffering for the people? China is a police state.

Meanwhile in China, residents of a city in the country's far western Xinjiang region have said they are experiencing hunger, forced quarantines and dwindling supplies of medicine and daily necessities after more than 40 days in a lockdown prompted by COVID-19.

The WHO certainly can be trusted. Sassymouth trump wanted the US out of it because he is a loudmouth fascist dictator who lied, denied the existence of CoVid and stirred up the unrest for his ends, resulting in many sicknesses and deaths. Trumptrash cannot be trusted to be truthful. And he imposed terror and police state tactics in 2020 exactly like China's CCP does all the time.

Dictatorships are dictatorships, folks. They're all corrupt and evil.

The number of CoVid deaths are decreasing with certainly is good news, but we're not out of the woods yet. We need to use our heads and listen to the experts.

WHO has a close relation to Big Pharma.

WHO has a close relation to Big Pharma.

For that definition of close that would mean all the medical services of the world also do.

What has this to do with openly saying the pandemic may have entered an ending phase? is "Big Pharma" pushing the WHO to declare this (even if that would mean less profit?), does this makes the data collected in every country false? these are things that are open for scrutiny by any expert with the capacity to do an analysis, not some super-secret information only few people can have access to.

“If we don’t take this opportunity now, we run the risk of more variants, more deaths, more disruption, and more uncertainty," Tedros said.

And my guess is, no, in fact I am absolutely sure, that opportunity won’t be taken now, because no one knows exactly which opportunity that should be or how to successfully implement the measures for it.

And my guess is, no, in fact I am absolutely sure, that opportunity won’t be taken now, because no one knows exactly which opportunity that should be or how to successfully implement the measures for it.

It is clearly described in the article, the opportunity is the current drop of cases that can let governments prepare for the increase expected for the winter, there is no mystery of how to do it either since by now everybody knows what measures help the most and how to promote them.

China is mentioned in this article, why?

China has a loooonnngg way to go covid related. Its no-plan approach has set it back about 2 years. Unless it puts non-domestic vaccines in the water supply, the country is sitting on a health-crisis time bomb...

The WHO agency reporting Covid related deaths lowest since March 2020. Seems likely China's policy is working, because if the largest country population wise was seeing high numbers of deaths, then the overall worldwide numbers would likely not be at a low level, especially when the US still experiences almost 300 deaths a day.

Instead of reporting such statistics, this article mentions videos from China of "feverish children".

I guess they had thermometers sticking out of their mouths, and that is how they were recognized as such?

Two years ago when the entire country of China had less than 1000 infections a day and zero Covid related deaths.

I hope China gets back to those days too.

Since China is openly manipulating their numbers and excluding from deaths anyone that have a comorbidity that indicates their reporting is not reliable. But even if it was, other countries have lower rates of fatalities, which would mean the Chinese approach is not only less effective than those countries, it is also much more costly, since it requires local economic destruction, interruption of health services (that causes deaths) and unjustified loss of human rights.

This is the reason why no international expert says the Chinese zero covid policy is an example to follow.

That is completely mistaken, "feverish" is validly used to mean a patient showing the symptoms of a fever. There is no need for a thermometer to recognize symptoms.

Two years ago when the entire country of China had less than 1000 infections a day and zero Covid related deaths.

This means two years to the past when safe and effecitve vaccines and treatments allowed the population to survive covid were not available, this means it is causing their population to die from every other cause because of lack of health services without real need.

That is completely mistaken, "feverish" is validly used to mean a patient showing the symptoms of a fever. There is no need for a thermometer to recognize symptoms.

Wrong. The CDC defines feverish as having a higher than normal body temperature.

And the below are symptoms of fever according to the AMA.

Sweating

Chills and shivering

Headache

Muscle aches

Loss of appetite

Irritability

Dehydration

General weakness

Anyone believing that by watching videos that it is possible to make a medical diagnosis of someone being feverish is obviously not a medical professional.

Wrong. The CDC defines feverish as having a higher than normal body temperature.

You are still completely mistaken, and it is easy to know it because you "opportunely" forgot to put a reference that support your mistake.

Feverish is a symptom, so it is perfectly fine to report it without measuring the temperature (a sign), the CDC explicitly says so:

https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/air/reporting-deaths-illness/definitions-symptoms-reportable-illnesses.html

self-reported history of feeling feverish when a thermometer is not available

The same applies to dictionaries like the merriam-webster, cambridge,

Anyone believing that by watching videos that it is possible to make a medical diagnosis of someone being feverish is obviously not a medical professional.

You were easily proved mistaken in your baseless criticism, "feverish" validly referes to a symptom, so it is completely wrong to say someone can't be feverish without a thermometer. Your mistake is thinking the word can only mean a medical diagnosis, which is nonsense. The same as other symptoms (painful gestures, flushed face, having excessive sweating, etc.) it is something that can be seen on a video without problem.
