China struggles with rapid rise in new COVID-19 cases

China is struggling with a rapid rise in new coronavirus infections. The spike comes just weeks after the country loosened restrictions of its long-standing "zero-COVID" policy. Thomas Bollyky, director of the global health program at the Council on Foreign Relations, joined CBS News to discuss.

Like AIDS, COVID 19 will never go away

[ryanhadley]

We all have had covid, vaccine or not you will still get it

[DLFfitness]

They gave people what they wanted. Let’s not pretend otherwise.

[mrmyth]

Then the need to stop releasing vials of it.

[bobtrask]

Maybe the CCP wanted to adjust the ticking demographic time bomb of too many retirees in proportion to the number of working age people. CCP prioritized workers for vaccine over the elderly.

Jing Ping Virus is back to rock and roll

In 2020 I lost my aunt to covid and knew a lot of people that lost many family members, there were shipping containers used as mass corpse storage, there was funeral Pyres all over India things were very bad, now we may have a lot of covid or not but what I have seen is that it's far less deadly then it was in 2020

[mojojeinxs]

I work in a facility with 46 cases nothing is being done no restrictions. This is what everyone wanted to visit their grandmas without masks now they all are sick.

[jakeg]

This has numbers way off, I think it’ll be 10 times that. They already have the burn pits going and full hospitals, just like India did when they stopped counting

[j_ndgo]

what they could do is stop imprisoning and torturing the uyghur people

[montanagal]

Well IF it's true, the response to the virus has been wrong.

[VL-inquisitor]

For the sake of fellow human beings, why can't we just pray that China and its people don't have to suffer as they ease up covid measures and return their lives to normalcy?

Instead, media outlets, experts and politicians critisized China for sticking to its stringent covid policy not too long ago. Now they are still condemning China for lifting covid measures and risking the lives of its people.

[Ultra-Collector]

In the US we’re averaging 300-400 new cases a day!

[jinkazama]

Too many people dying from this and too few politicians..

[lpspinoy]

In my humble opinion Pres. Xi should step down and make a public apology of what really happen to his government policy’s. In behalf of freedom loving people of China i guess this would be a great start to become a better nation - opinion matters.

[AusDenBergen]

Don't forget to report for misinformation.

[donnalynn]

And no conversation of the new variants that will undoubtedly reach us all

[seanwright]

What point test people don’t know how treatment

[davidburke]

How about everybody just forget covid 19, that invisible monster that appeared 19 years after 19 hijackers appeared on 9-11.

[davidturnbull]

Who cares, did they care about us love 2 years ago.
