This is why lockdowns were always more harmful than protective and why they should never have been used - once you unlock, it's always going to cause a spike. Pumping that shit into your body over and over again to avoid a cold was, is and always will be mental. I said it here nearly three years ago and I'll say it again, when did the good of the few eclipse the good of the many?

China’s potentially grim COVID-19 death toll is avoidable, new study says
27 Dec 2022
China’s pivot from zero-COVID could result in 1.5 million deaths in six months, researchers say
“Flatten the curve” measures could avoid case spikes, ease healthcare system pressures


As China abandons three years of harsh zero-COVID restrictions aimed at stamping out the coronavirus, as many as 1.5 million people could die from COVID-19 over the next six months, according to a new study.

However, the study, which was posted on preprint service medRxiv by researchers from the University of Macau and Harvard Medical School on Dec 22, said the number of deaths could be cut to less than 200,000 if Chinese authorities implemented public health measures to help slow the spread of COVID-19, increase vaccination rates and ensure adequate supplies of medicines.

Public health measures include nonpharmaceutical interventions such as quarantine, maintaining social distancing and wearing masks.

Over the past three years, China has been able to keep infection rates low largely due to these measures. The country has had one of the lowest death rates per capita in the world, according to a Johns Hopkins University calculator.

However, as the highly transmissible Omicron variant became dominant, China’s zero-COVID strategy became unsustainable.

Earlier this month, authorities announced a policy U-turn to ditch pandemic curbs amid growing numbers of outbreaks and nationwide protests against restrictions. Those changes could see COVID-related deaths soar, according to previous modelling studies.

The new study, which has not been peer reviewed, aimed to evaluate the overall effectiveness of China’s prevention measures by establishing an Omicron transmission model based on pandemic data from Macao, Hong Kong and Singapore in 2022.

Specifically, the researchers wanted to evaluate the “flatten the curve” strategy – a range of milder, non-pharmaceutical mitigation measures that can reduce infection rates. The idea is to avoid a spike in new cases so that a healthcare system is not overwhelmed.

The researchers found that with China’s current immunity level, and with no “flatten the curve” strategy applied, more than 1.27 billion people would be infected within three months and 1.49 million people would die within half a year.
