Experts say China could see more than 1 million deaths from COVID-19 in 2023
Beijing faces a surge in severe COVID-19 cases over the next two weeks, a respiratory expert said, amid global concerns over possible mutations and knock-on effects for the world economy after the surprise ditching of China’s tough virus policies.
The nation’s overall fatalities since the pandemic began were revised to 5,241 after removing one death in Beijing. Wang expects a peak in cases in China in late January, with life likely to return to normal by end-February or early March. Blood clots and sepsis – an extreme body response to infection – have caused countless deaths among COVID patients around the world.
As recently as September, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus had said “the end is in sight” for the pandemic. Last week, he told reporters in Geneva he was “hopeful” of an end to the emergency some time next year.
