- There is a situation brewing in China resulting from the late November/early December protests, leading to a fast-spreading outbreak that is difficult to measure.
- The Chinese have discontinued their use of social monitoring for Covid and have allowed provinces and local governments to lessen restrictions for the first time.
- The scale of the situation is difficult to comprehend, with the Chinese population being older, more diabetic, and lacking natural immunity.
- Vaccines are barely functional against the current strain, and the Chinese have limited access to critical care.
- If the current strain is worse than measles, a death rate of 100 per 100,000 infections is likely to be much higher.
- The Chinese Health System is inadequate to face this crisis, and many businesses and testing facilities are already closed.
- It is likely that China will be offline from a manufacturing point of view for at least the next three to four months.
