Already 80 percent of all Chinese would have contracted covid infection, “danger of new wave after Chinese New Year is small”

That the corona virus is fast advanced among the Chinese population, it soon became clear. The hospitals were working overtime, just like the funeral homes where there were long queues. In our country, samples are even taken from the toilet water from Chinese aircraft to investigate whether there are no new variants.

Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention, reported on the social media platform Weibo that no less than 80 percent of the population has now contracted an infection. China is said to have passed the peak of infections by now.
