Posted in: Chinese hospitals 'extremely busy' as COVID spreads unchecked See in context
Pushing for Zero Covid wasn't rational. Just like the rest of the world China should have gone for Pfizer and relax during the delta days. Hoping their vaccines to an extent offer some protection. Given how big China is I am a bit worried a lot of people might die if this goes haywire.

Moreover in Japan bullying at school is a big problem so this experimental vaccine will cause huge problems and might lead to suicide as vaccinated kids will bully others.
Nobody in the age group 5-11 will kill themselves. I am virtually certain. There is just simply not enough white matter in their brains to contemplate a suicide.

it may be the beginning of the end of the pandemic.
I think you might be right. It isn't unthinkable. RNA viruses exploit all known mechanisms of genetic variation to ensure their survival. On the other we too have probably mutated ourselves some form of resistance by now.
In few weeks we will know more but me personally I want to be optimistic about omicron. Who knows maybe this is how Sars-Cov-2 will turn into a simple cold (fingers crossed).

More infectious but less lethal
If COVID mostly kills through an overreaction of the immune system and your statement is true it might mean earlier non omicron infection induced immunity and covid immunity obtained via vaccination is at least good to a degree enough to prevent death .

Calling it an animal market kind of muddies it a little. Actually a seafood market is what I read earlier.
These places are horid. I am almost sure there will be Sars-Cov-3 . We shouldn't learn how to live with COVID. The world should learn how to live with China.
In effect, 1 Chinese having a pangoline burger, turns out, isn't so different from throwing a nuclear bomb in Europe. This virus killed many people.
We must re-think medical care, testing , vaccine and medicine development

Politely telling someone they are racist is actually more then enough ! There is no need for anything drastic and counter productive. We saw how the media destroyed Osaka Naomi's aproach.
These things are very political, complex and take time. He is doing an excellent job.

4 levels ,? Really ? Please ... Tokyo has a capacity of about 200 beds which if compared to it's population equals to 0.
Level 4 signifies that hospitals are no longer able to deal with COVID-19 patients even if they reduce general medical services.
This is true even today. Only If and only when Japan finds more doctors and hospitals willing to treat covid discussing this would make sense. It really only takes a day to reach capacity.
