NBC reports that the city has been under strict lockdown for weeks as the government combats China's worst outbreak since the coronavirus pandemic began. .
China's 'Zero-COVID' strategy has drawn global scrutiny,
including from the World Health Organization (WHO)
which questioned the tactic's sustainability.
Considering the behavior of the virus,
I think a shift will be very important, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General
of the World Health Organization, via NBC.
The comments by the WHO came after Chinese president Xi Jinping reaffirmed the government's commitment to China's COVID strategy.
NBC reports that analysts feel shifting
course could threaten Xi's plan to secure
a third term as China's president.
Last week, top leaders of the Chinese Communist Party vowed to , “unswervingly adhere to the general
policy of ‘dynamic zero-COVID’...
... and resolutely fight against any words
and deeds that distort, doubt or deny our
country’s epidemic prevention policies.” .
NBC reports that the criticism
by the WHO's director general was
quickly suppressed by Chinese censors. .
Foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian
defended China's COVID policy
and cautioned against further criticism.
We hope relevant people will look
at China’s Covid policy in an objective
and rational light, learn more about
the facts and refrain from making
irresponsible remarks, Zhao Lijian, China's foreign ministry spokesman, via NBC

WHO Data Suggests , COVID-19 Death Toll , Is 3 Times Higher Than Reported.
CNN reports new estimates from the
World Health Organization (WHO) say
the coronavirus pandemic took the
lives of almost 14.9 million people.
Between January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2021, WHO officials say the death toll was nearly
three times higher than previously reported.
During that timeframe, 5.4 million COVID-related deaths were reported to the WHO.

Excess mortality is the difference between the number of deaths that have been recorded and those that would be expected in the absence of the pandemic. , Samira Asma, assistant director-general for the Data, Analytics and Delivery for Impact Division of WHO, via CNN.
Over the 24 months examined, the estimated
range of excess deaths was between
13.3 million and 16.6 million.
In the United States, by
December 31, 2021, the estimated
number of excess deaths was 932,458.
Per data from Johns Hopkins University,
that's almost 100,000 more deaths than previously reported in that timeframe.
Knowing how many people died due to the pandemic will help us to be better prepared for the next. , Samira Asma, assistant director-general for the Data, Analytics and Delivery for Impact Division of WHO, via CNN.
We need to honor the lives tragically cut short, lives we lost, and we must hold ourselves and our policymakers accountable. , Samira Asma, assistant director-general for the Data, Analytics and Delivery for Impact Division of WHO, via CNN.
