From lack of medicines to vaccine and inadequate doctors to people’s protest, let’s try to understand how bad the situation is in China.
bad situation in china
China, which spread the Corona epidemic worldwide, is now facing the punishment of its own misdeeds. In the last two years, many such reports came to the fore, in which China was held responsible. But China did not believe from the beginning that the epidemic spread from there. However, the latest situation is that the cases of corona in China are increasing very fast. Recently, the report of 25 crore people getting infected within 20 days was leaked, after which China even stopped issuing ‘false’ data. Now the arrogance of the Jinping government has come out.
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Saturday admitted that the current wave of COVID running across the country has become frightening and tough challenges remain. More than 7000 cases of corona have been reported in China on Saturday and one death has also been reported, but the ground reality is something else. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) has asked China to provide more data about the forms of corona.
Let us try to understand how bad the situation is in China, from lack of medicines to vaccines and doctors to people’s protest.
1). population of crores infected
China may keep hiding the figures, but more than 250 million people are said to be infected there. Here the bf.7 variant of Omicron form of corona virus has wreaked havoc. According to the data leaked from a meeting of the National Health Service recently, in the first 20 days of December 2022, more than 25 crore people were reported to be infected.
2). Vaccine and immunity crisis
Vaccination of a large population has not been done in China. From the beginning, the Jinping government focused more on the youth, while giving less priority to the elderly. The efficacy of China’s vaccine is also less than that of Indian or American vaccine. While the efficacy of the Indian vaccine Covishield and Covaxin is more than 80, the efficacy of the Chinese vaccine is only 45 to 60. In such a situation, even the vaccinated people there are getting infected again.
3). Shortage of medicines and test kits
The situation in China is uncontrollable due to increasing corona infection. There is a huge shortage of medicines here. People are struggling even for basic medicines and test kits. Here people are not getting medicine even for fever. According to official information, ID registration will be required to buy fever medicines in more than 500 pharmacies. Locals are allowed to buy only 6 pills a week.
4). Shortage of doctors and medical personnel
There is a huge shortage of doctors and medical workers in many provinces of China. Due to the large number of corona patients, hospitals up to the capital Beijing are facing shortage of doctors and nurses. Hundreds of doctors and nurses from the eastern provinces have been called to the capital, which has created a shortage in those areas as well. According to reports, at least 500 doctors and nurses from East China’s Shandong province, as well as dozens of doctors from Jiangsu, have been sent to hospitals across the city.
5). Failed Covid policy and nationwide protest
China had implemented zero covid policy from the beginning. In the beginning it was looking successful, but in recent months the zero covid policy proved to be a failure. When there was a crisis on people’s livelihood, they became agitated. The Jinping government is facing heavy opposition. Meanwhile, the government gave some relaxation, then due to mismanagement, the situation kept getting worse.
