Live Mint  

Covid cases in China have started surging at an alarming rate forcing the Xi Jinping-led government to rush to create hospitals, the the authorities eased the stringent curbs under the stringent 'Zero Covid policy' a couple of weeks ago. At such a time, epidemiologist and health economist Eric Feigl-Ding has said that China and the rest of the world are about to spiral back into the pandemic wave in the next 3 months that is likely to see deaths likely in the millions. According to Feigl-Ding, with context to the situation in China, the Chinese Communist Party's goal is "let whoever needs to be infected, infected, let whoever needs to die, die. Situation in China According to the National Health Commission of China, the mainland reported 1,995 new Covid-19 cases. Daily national case counts have steadily fallen as fewer people test themselves at public facilities, and health authorities earlier this week stopped releasing daily tallies of asymptomatic cases for the first time since the pandemic began.
