  Honestly, who cares?  Everybody here just for the schadenfreude?  Wanna laugh at the (inevitable) failure of covid-zero??  
  Move on.  Obsess about something else.
context: Nothing new here. Nothing to see. Move along. What a lie the CCP is. >
  
  So have more time to make up data? Got it. >
  
  Not surprised they'll still find a way to hide stats >
  
  Chinese statistics are worthless anyway. >
  
  Well, yeah. They've always lied and obfuscated the truth regarding their infected/death statistics. 
  
  As per the NHC meeting minutes leaked last week -- reported by Bloomberg and the Financial Times -- about 248 million people around China were infected in the first three weeks of the month, including half of the population in Beijing and Sichuan province.
  
  From another article:
  
  More than 37 million people in China may have been infected with COVID-19 on a single day this week according to China’s National Health Commission (NHC).
  
  So as far as we know, roughly 18% of their country is infected, not including the people who refuse to hospitalize or disclose their status. Really makes you wonder what the real numbers are. >
  
  It would take too long to compile. >
  
  I'm sure those numbers will be as accurate as the numbers they've been sharing. >
  
  So this is how they get their zero COVID goal? >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 72%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  Beijing: China is set to publish data on Covid-19 cases only once a month after the disease is downgraded to Category B, or less stringent, virus management, the government announced on Tuesday, a move that's likely to deepen confusion and distrust among citizens about how quickly the virus is spreading in the country or how many it's fatally infecting.
  "Starting from January 8, China will downgrade management of the disease from Class A to Class B under the country's law on the prevention and treatment of infectious disease and remove it from quarantinable infectious disease management in a major shift of its epidemic response policies," official news agency, Xinhua, said in a report on Tuesday.
  The NHC had been publishing relevant Covid data since January, 2020, but only last Sunday, it stopped releasing the tally of Covid cases, handing over the responsibility of sharing numbers to the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.
