So? 
In a population of 100 million... 89 million of them is 9 in every 10 people have covid 
This is gonna have ridiculous consequences globally
And zero deaths of course, because Chinese people don’t like admitting any failures of any kind ever.
Obviously, at a minimum, they will have lost 14,000 to Covid as that is the death rate for regular old flu.
Cover ups so blatant are embarrassing and infantile
Edit: 14,000 just in that area alone for the current level of infection 88,000,000 / 100,000 * 16.3 
Flu death rate was about 16.3 per 100,000 infected >

So many opportunities for recombinant mutations. >

which recombination will reign as king abomination? Find out next season! >

Just for comparison. That's about the equivalent of 88.5 million bananas. Give or take. >

I was really struggling to comprehend 88.5 million people but as soon as you said bananas it just all clicked >

You're welcome! >

If you had 88.5 million football fields, you'd have enough space for 88.5 million people to social distance themselves! Sounds crazy but it's true. >

What about 88.5 million basketball courts? >

Don’t be ridiculous >

I feel like a compromise exists between let it rip, and welding doors shut. >

This is out of a population of 100 million.  Door to door mandatory tests show an 89% infection rate.  That means 9 out of 10 people have had an active case of covid in the past week. 
There is going to be an absolutely massive worldwide ripple effect from this, impacting both the economy and public health. >

It’s a good thing they’ve really loosened up restrictions, I couldn’t even begin to imagine the logistical nightmare of welding 88.5 million people into their homes. >

It’s actually one street in small city. >

China basically said: "why should we struggle with covid alone?" and decided to let their population get infected uncontrolled with a hope that a new Covid "super mega pro max x-series 3000" variant will pop into existence and with the help of Chinese tourists it will spread around the world and it will be 2019 all over again. >
