What is happening in China? ⬇️ How Xi created a growing Covid disaster with hubris, xenophobia and ideology
. Making things worse, China’s elderly have resisted being jabbed. The country’s past vaccine scandals haven’t helped; neither has the lack of safety on the current Chinese Covid vaccinations.
But as the virus mutated into more and more contagious strains, the lockdowns had to become more draconian to prevent infection spread. And even then, incarcerating millions of people at a time in their own homes wasn’t enough to halt the spread. The death of 10 people last week, trapped in a fire in a block of flats after being locked in their own homes by authorities under anti-Covid regulations, wasBut the signs the policy was failing have been obvious for many months. With the emerging force of the Omicron BA.2 strain , the holes have been appearing in the zero Covid policy.
At the end of March, much of China’s mega port of Shanghai locked down amid the country’s worst outbreak since early 2020.were shut in their homes on 28 March

Alterations of the fecal microbiota in relation to acute COVID-19 infection and recovery - Molecular BiomedicinePeople with acute COVID-19 due to SARS-CoV-2 infection experience a range of symptoms, but major factors contributing to severe clinical outcomes remain to be understood. Emerging evidence suggests associations between the gut microbiome and the severity and progression of COVID-19. To better understand the host-microbiota interactions in acute COVID-19, we characterized the intestinal microbiome of patients with active SARS-CoV-2 infection in comparison to recovered patients and uninfected healthy controls. We performed 16S rRNA sequencing of stool samples collected between May 2020 and January 2021 from 20 COVID-19-positive patients, 20 COVID-19-recovered subjects and 20 healthy controls. COVID-19-positive patients had altered microbiome community characteristics compared to the recovered and control subjects, as assessed by both α- and β-diversity differences. In COVID-19-positive patients, we observed depletion of Bacteroidaceae, Ruminococcaceae, and Lachnospiraceae, as well as decreased relative abundances of the genera Faecalibacterium, Adlercreutzia, and the Eubacterium brachy group. The enrichment of Prevotellaceae with COVID-19 infection continued after viral clearance; antibiotic use induced further gut microbiota perturbations in COVID-19-positive patients. In conclusion, we present evidence that acute COVID-19 induces gut microbiota dysbiosis with depletion of particular populations of commensal bacteria, a phenomenon heightened by antibiotic exposure, but the general effects do not persist post-recovery.
