Metropolis Desk-
According to a news analysis, China is likely experiencing 1 million Covid-19 infections and 5000 virus deaths every day as it grapples with what is expected to be the biggest outbreak the world has ever seen.
The situation could get even worse for the country of 1.4 billion people. The current wave may push the daily case rate to 3.7 million by January, according to Airfinity Ltd, a London-based analytics firm.
There will likely be another surge of intentions that will push the daily peak to 4.2 million in March, the group estimated.
China officially reported 2966 new cases for Wednesday, and fewer than ten covid deaths have occurred since the beginning of December.
But that contrasts with a growing chorus of reports that hospitals are being overwhelmed with patients and crematoriums are being pushed well beyond their capacity.
