Why China's COVID-19 case explosion could have global ramifications

Facing a massive surge in COVID-19 cases, China is trying to strengthen hospitals as it rolls back controls that confined millions of people to their homes and set off protests. Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infectious disease specialist at the Toronto General Hospital, tells Power & Politics that 'given the large number of infections over a short period of time in a country that has such significant economic standing on the planet, there will be global ramifications.'

Some people still think that this is about a virus.

Getting sick is better than dying if starvation while welded into your apartment.

[mongoblazingsaddles]

They should use their money to build hospitals instead of buying cheap Canadian politicians.

Praying for China. I was fired from my job as a social worker at Forsyth Hospital because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition lupus and heart disease. I suffered an heart attack a year ago, and I’m still recovering. I’m waitressing AND I’m SO THANKFUL, but I’m not making nearly as much as I use too. My husband and my parents died years ago. I’m all alone, no family to lean on. As a single mother with two autistic children things are so overwhelming on me. Every month is a struggle, not end up on the streets with young children. BUT our Heavenly Father gives me courage to not give up because I want to. Even as I get put down and mocked because of my situation and choice. I keep faith. God has provided this far. Thank you Jesus for that. Please pray for me and my boys this Christmas.

Pharmaceuticals here in Canada can't wait till it it hits here

Noticed these footages on the web have no dates, no locations ? Just add your own english narratives and you have a story of your choice to fool your people. If you can detect this, good for you !

Why the CBC keeps interviewing this doctor is beyond me. If you recall his past statements and assessments in previous interviews he never gets predictions right.

[petstorey]

Dr. Bogus. Hospitals in China are always busy.

[colemarion]

Everyone be very very Get 468 boosters and still be

[sabrinaful]

When China still had dynamic zero policy, you said there was no freedom and human rights; when China stopped their zero policy and gave their people freedom, you said it will cause the outbreak again. Then tell me, what should China do?

[hardracerone]

Hahahaha, the us regime asking China to be more transparent, the audacity...

[alexcorbel]

The best way to quell a major protest is to declare a COVID outbreak.

[slavonskibecar]

They already started paying people money because they had extremely bad side effects like neurological problems and myocarditis

[skyroxx]

I do find it surprising actually...3 years? All the suffering those poor people have endured being extremely locked down, now this, complete incompetence, hhmm kinda sounds like Canada, smaller scale

[thewewguyt]

not going to lie but i am getting a slight sense of deja vu... lol
