[The Epoch Times, January 31, 2023](Epoch Times reporters Xia Song and Luo Ya interviewed and reported) ChinaepidemicIs it entering a low epidemic level as the CCP claims? Dr. Liu, professor of Canadian College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and director of Kangmei Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, told The Epoch Times,Migrationandthe countrysideThe epidemic cannot be taken lightly. Two-headed dogs Ch1.1 have the strongest ability to escape immunity. Vaccines and booster shots are useless. The next wave of epidemics may soon occur in the mainland, and there may even be a third wave.
The National Health Commission of the Communist Party of China stated on January 30 that the overall epidemic situation in China has entered a low epidemic level. Dr. Jonathan Liu, a professor at the Canadian College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the director of the Kangmei Chinese Medicine Clinic, told the Epoch Times reporter today (31st) that the epidemic in China is not simple, and the CCP’s statement is a bit optimistic in advance.
He said: “First, the problem of population mobility should not be taken lightly. As the winter vacation ends, or some people return to the city after their vacation, there will be another wave of large mobility. The city seems to have slowed down after the contributions of front-line medical staff, but the death is actually It’s still going on, especially among the high-risk groups (deaths) are going on.”
Online videos show that on January 26, hospitals across China were still overcrowded.
CH1.1 has the strongest escape ability second wavesoon?
Dr. Liu believes that there may also be a second wave, or even a third wave, in China.
He explained: “Mainland is mainly a variant of the Omicron BA.5 branch. XBB1.5 has been circulating all over the world. The key is Ch1.1, which some people call it a two-headed dog. After the emergence of this virus strain, Many medical experts are attaching great importance to and observing its trend.”
According to Dr. Liu, the immune escape ability of Ch1.1 is too strong, and it is currently the strongest. Even if the vaccine is vaccinated, the booster injection is useless, and the infection is still the same. In addition, the key to Ch1.1 carries a gene segment from the previous deltavirus.
He said: “Delta virus can cause large white lungs. It not only invades the upper respiratory tract, but may also invade the lungs. This is more worrying. Now there are reports that the UK or some areas have reached 25%, that is to say, the infection rate , cannot be taken lightly. CH1.1 may develop particularly fast in the mainland.”
Dr. Liu said that the development of the peak is about 3 months. If the epidemic in China started in November last year, from November to January this year, there will be peaks and troughs in these three months, and it will come down by itself. However, at the end of January and early February, did it start to climb again? This must be taken seriously, including the WHO still declaring that the epidemic is a public health emergency of international concern.
He said: “The two-headed dog CH1.1, I feel that it is brewing, the number of CH1.1 in Hong Kong is increasing, and there are many in Southeast Asia. I am very worried that the next wave will soon appear in the mainland.”
Different from the world, China’s infection is super fast and there are many severe cases
Regarding the development of this wave of epidemic in mainland China, Dr. Liu said that the speed of transmission is very fast, which can be said to be a bit difficult to understand.
For example, he said that it took 6 months for the United States to open up and reach a 25% infection rate. People are no longer forced to stay at home, and everyone can socialize normally. And China opened up on December 7th, and what I saw was that almost 70% to 80% of all Chinese people were infected, and then 90% were infected, and even people in remote rural areas were almost “positive”.
He said: “I asked the elders in my hometown, the whole village was very fast, almost everyone became “yang” in one to two days. This is indeed different from other places, and the speed is super fast.”
A video posted on the Internet showed that on January 21, in the rural area of Fuyang, Anhui, after the CCP’s epidemic policy changed, many new graves were added to the wheat fields, and 27 people walked away from nearby villages in three days.
He said: “The domestic videos I have seen are good, including family members. I also have relatives infected. Some of them are very serious, some have severe pain all over their bodies, and some have a sore throat like a knife cut. Sore throat from a blade, many people in Beijing They all appeared, including the old and the young. There is also white lung phenomenon, which is a severe infection of the lungs. Some doctors said that the proportion of white lung is still quite high, from 30 to 70 years old, it occurs in all age groups, which makes people I don’t quite understand.
“Recently, encephalitis came out again, which means that the virus invades the human brain. The patient has language barriers, similar to a stroke. When the Delta strain first appeared in 2020, some individuals appeared to attack the brain and central nervous system. The incidence rate in the West It’s not too high, it’s already appearing in mainland China.”
Reasons for repeated infections in Chinese
Dr. Liu said that he observed in Canada that not too many people were repeatedly infected. Some young people went out to gather and got positive twice, but not many.
Dr. Liu gave several reasons why there are repeated infections in China: “The first is the medical system. With the government’s irresponsible “laying down” and liberalization, the front-line medical staff are under a lot of pressure. In hospitals, the virus density in the air must be much higher than in other non-hospital places, so medical staff are almost infected very quickly, even those with “two positives” and “three positives.”
“Second, some people have not been truly immunized, especially the quality of domestic vaccines is not good, and live vaccines even have serious side effects, which cannot provide real protection.
“Third, some people have low immunity. For example, those who are old, especially some senior officials of the CCP even have their organs replaced and take immunosuppressants. And the immunosuppressants have made his body like a sieve, against the virus. Said that it was a long-term drive, and soon there were complications and died.”
A video posted on the Internet showed that doctors from the Third Zhongshan Hospital warned that new coronary encephalitis is more deadly than new coronary pneumonia, and many patients with severe new coronary encephalitis also have new coronary pneumonia.
He said: “Of course there are some basic diseases, such as obesity, one of the characteristics of the group that is more vulnerable to the virus. Diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, these are high-risk groups, prone to multiple infections, and even loss of life.”
What matters should be paid attention to in the current epidemic?
There are peaks and valleys in the epidemic situation. At present, Dr. Liu introduced several things that need to be paid attention to.
He said, “First of all, try to reduce the risk of the elderly or people with underlying diseases. It is very important that the underlying diseases are well treated and the government provides better medical services. Even if these people are infected, they are not likely to die.”
“Secondly, people with weakened immune function, such as taking immunosuppressants for a long time, must pay great attention to it. Because the reason why viruses can invade the human body is that when the immune function is weakened, the immune function is particularly weak, and the virus can reproduce in large numbers and invade the human body. Body organs. These people must do a good job of self-protection to reduce the chance of infection.
“Also, increase immune function and combine different therapies.”
Dr. Liu said that it is winter now, and there may be many symptoms of co-infection. You can find methods from traditional medicine. If you feel pain all over your body after infection, you can use traditional Chinese medicine to dispel sweat. Once you sweat, the pain in your limbs, including fever, will subside. Scallion and ginger soup sweating is very simple, boil three scallions, five or seven gingers, and drink constantly to make the whole body sweat.
He said: “If you have difficulty breathing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath when you walk a little, you must be careful, and you may have pneumonia. Large white lungs will cause a sharp decline in alveolar function. If the alveoli have no function, blood oxygen exchange will not be possible. , the person is in a state of hypoxemia, and at this time must actively seek medical treatment.”
“It can also be combined with other treatments, such as antiviral treatment, or some anti-infection treatment. Combining traditional Chinese medicine will improve the recovery speed.”
