  Seems to be 1 awful day of bed. 1 day recovering and then fine.
context: Imagine the Healthcare load they are under. >
  
  I live in China but currently visiting home in Ireland. I only know a couple of people total that don’t have it or haven’t had it yet in the last 3 weeks. I know OF one guy that needed hospitalisation because was very old and had other ailments. It really seems to be the least severe strain I’ve heard of. I have friends that are doctors they told me they’re holding out so far. But time will tell. >
  
  Luckily it isn't as bad as the first year with such high kill rates or they would be buried in bodies, even 1% would be a few million >
  
  Just shooting in the weeds here, working between other westernized countries (US, Canada, France etc.) gives an average of ~1% dead. The US has a recorded 100M+ cases and 1.1M deceased.
  So, possibly 2.5M dead. Egads. That's not taking into account the Chinese government's data on them all being super badass better built people. >
  
  We also didn't have our 100m infected in the same month but spread over a year+.
  This will overwhelm their hospitals and many more will die then in the usa because they won't have access to health care. >
  
  Best to do comparison by using % of population or cases/100k not raw case numbers >
  
  anyway you look at it china is going to be worse than the USA. at the height of covid the USA was getting 800k cases a week for 0.2% of the population per WEEK. China is estimated to be getting just under 2% of their population getting covid per DAY. >
  
  Shits hit the fan waaaaaaaay faster than i thought >
  
  That is a ton and I am forced to wonder if this is a result of their lockdown policy blowing up or did China always have COVID and just swept it under the rug >
  
  It's all over the wechat. My chinese girlfriend watches videos of chinese people talking about the new covid. They are in bed longer, stronger and longer fevers, and have more gas/farting a lot.
