😷🇨🇳🔓 Covid Don Show Face Again for China; Lockdowns No Dey Work

Authorities don yan say cases don increase, and one doctor dey estimate say soon, we fit get 65 million cases every week. But China no wan gree do lockdowns again, dem wan move on. 📈🚫🔐

From December, China bin drop their strict “Zero Covid” policies as cases begin increase and people begin vex for the lockdown wahala. After six months, Covid cases don increase again, but this time, China government wan continue with normal life as dem dey focus on economic growth. 💔📅🏢

Before now, China never dey follow the pattern wey other countries dey follow. Until late last year, dem fit lock down whole neighborhoods, districts, and even cities to try wipe out small clusters of cases. 🚧🏘️🔒

Chinese health authorities don report say Covid cases don increase since April, especially from new subvariants wey dey spread all over the world. Dr. Zhong Nanshan, one popular doctor wey been dey among di first to talk say Covid fit spread easily among people for early 2020, don estimate say by late June, as many as 65 million people fit dey infected with coronavirus every week for China. (This one go pass di estimate of 40 million infections every week wey e talk for late May. China no dey publish regular official nationwide estimate of infections again.) 🌍📈😷

Before, when dem stop “Zero Covid” controls for December, new infections bin reach 37 million every day for China as e reach their peak, according to estimates wey Bloomberg talk. 😱📈

Even if, like Dr. Zhong talk, e dey hard to predict how cases go continue increase, we know say cases go increase again and many people for China don already ready to live with Covid infections and sometimes Covid deaths. 😔💪💔

“People don already dey used to infections, dem see am as normal for post-Covid era,” Lin Zixian, 36, wey dey work for one technology company for Beijing, talk for phone interview. China leader, Xi Jinping, still dey wear medical mask when e dey meet people indoors. But Mr. Lin talk say e and im family members don stop to dey wear mask for public places, like many people for China. 🤷‍♂️😷🚫

“Many of my friends bin get infected last year and e happen again this year,” Mr. Lin talk. “Personally, I no too dey fear the virus and the pandemic.” 😎💔🦠

Officials for China dey try prepare di population say cases go increase, but dem no wan bring back di heavy controls wey people no like last year. Since dem open up travel again, government focus don shift to economic growth and job creation. Di rate of unemployment, especially among young people for cities, don become politically pressing pass rising Covid numbers. 💼💔📈

“After many people don catch the last wave, di intensity don reduce,” Dali Yang, professor of political science for University of Chicago wey dey finish book on how China handle the pandemic, talk. 😮🌊📚

E add say China now dey see Covid as “Class B” sickness, e no dey too serious like before, and officials, even if dem dey monitor di increase for cases, dey also dey try reassure di public say di symptoms no too serious. 😷🆎📊

Health officials for Beijing don recommend say make people wear masks for buses and subways, but e no dey compulsory and plenty passengers no dey wear am, especially young ones. Even if hospitals fit get pressure as cases dey increase, many people dey ready to manage di sickness for house instead of going to fever clinics. 😷🚇🏥

“Even if my son catch Covid, I no mind to stay for di same room with am,” Mr. Lin, di technology worker, talk. 😊🚫🧒🏻

For many young people, if dem catch Covid, e fit mean say dem go get fever and other symptoms for one week or more. Over recent weeks, people don share their symptoms for social media, often with mordant resignation. 😷😞📱

More worrisome na di older people, many of dem never catch Covid before and dem fit no don receive complete vaccination shots. Up to three-quarters of Chinese people wey catch di recent rise for cases no catch am for the first wave, Dr. Zhang Wenhong, di director of di center for infectious diseases for Huashan Hospital for Shanghai and one major voice for China response to Covid, talk for one recent interview with Chinese media outlets. 😓👵🆘💉

Nonetheless, the resurgence in cases “should not have a huge impact overall on economic activity and life,” Dr. Zhang said, according to Yicai, a Chinese business newspaper. “We should not go too far in taking pandemic prevent measures in response.” 😌📉🌍

Dong-yan Jin, professor of virology for University of Hong Kong wey don track China response to Covid, agree say many of those wey recently catch am fit be older or physically frail people wey dem isolate from di “tsunami” of infections wey happun late last year. 🌊👴💔

“The elderly were well protected in the period of the tsunami, because their families and carers tried their best to protect them,” Professor Jin talk. “But now, the risks for them are high, because people are less vigilant.” 😥👴😷

China suppose increase vaccination rates, especially among old people; upgrade their homegrown vaccine to better protect against new variants; allow the introduction of internationally developed vaccines; and make anti-viral drugs cheaper and more available to Covid patients, Professor Jin talk. 💉🔬💊💪

“Most people have recognized from their own experience that Covid is not a monster and is not so terrifying, and that’s actually positive,” he said. “But it is not true that Covid is gone and will never come again, so this message also has to be made clear to the public.” 😌🦠🌟
