"SNIP.......
Crematoriums across China are straining to deal with an influx of bodies as the country battles a wave of Covid cases that authorities have said is impossible to track, AFP reports.
.........SNIP"
Applegrove:
China's vaccines are not as effective as mRNAs are. Remind DeSantis and his committee what sub-prime vaccine situation looks like.

I don't think they ever reported the actual situation in their country.

(55,365 posts)according g to Worldometers. I check them out every other day. Japan is really high again. China lies about their numbers as much as FL does. I don't trust either leader (Deathsantis in FL).

(4,131 posts)I thought the variants were weaker then the first COVID?. Seems like lots of people around me have COVID but I know of no deaths. I have never had COVID or any of the variants. Knock on wood .

(13,850 posts)Omicron is actually NOT weaker, there is just more built in immunity (prior infections and vaccinations) in the USA and other nations. China has a low uptake in vaccines, especially in its most vulnerable population. So that vulnerable population is subject to death when they have no immunity.
Our household has had all the vaccines and boosters, so when we caught it it was a mixed bag. My daughter and husband got sick for a couple of days/the equivalent of a mild flu or bad cold. I never caught it at all.
