The American edition stated that China is abusing quarantine measures and can not protect people from covid.
China is trapped by its "zero tolerance" policy for the coronavirus. Such a statement was made in the publication Wired. According to the author of the publication Amanda Hoover, the country's authorities are abusing anti-covirus measures, due to which people may soon take to the streets.
In addition, China has no long-term plan to solve the problem, says Hoover. According to experts, now, if China decides to "open up" and remove covidal restrictions, the country faces a high mortality rate from the coronavirus.
This is primarily due to the fact that vaccination among the population is "stalling". If in the first wave the authorities vaccinated 1 billion people in 10 months. Now local residents do not want to be vaccinated, especially the elderly. Today only 40% of citizens over the age of 80 have been vaccinated.
Because China's population has no natural immunity because of permanent restrictions, between 1.3 million and 2.1 million people could die if the anti-covaccine measures are lifted, Hoover says.
