fatalities remain low. but some estimates with a lively death toll at more than $1000000.00 by the end of next year. oh, people in beijing line up to get nasal spray boosters cases or surging after the government abruptly ended. it's strict 0 coven policy. in the wake of nationwide protests against the restrictions authorities are trying to persuade reluctant seniors and others at risk to get vaccinated to prevent large scale outbreaks, hospitalizations, and deaths. those already showing symptoms make their way to temporary clinics set up around the city like this public gymnasium where they can get medical advice and treatment. others are opting to stay home either because they're already sick or trying to avoid infection. that means

deliveries of food and every day items are in heavy demand. but scores of workers are also coming down with the virus. so packages pile up on the streets unclaimed. in china's financial hub, shanghai schools of switch to online classes as cases, sore nurseries, and child care centers are also set to close across the country. people were quick to return to old habits when the restrictions were eased. crowding shopping malls, subway stations, restaurants only until for young people, it's about going out traveling and enjoying life. and many popular places are already full and it's difficult to make reservations. life is returning to pre pandemic levels. koya is uni hannah so mm hm. the freedoms have come at a price. the official death toll remains low at a little more than $5200.00. but experts believe the real figure as many times higher and that china may be facing its worst serge. yet in the build up to the

winter travel season and lunar new year when hundreds of millions of workers will travel home by road rail and air and journalist harvey and crash friend joins me now from beijing. so haven't, is there any way to estimate the actual scale of infections and depths in china? well, we try our best. i mean that we cannot use the official data any more of the data. we not only are not credible any more, but really misleading. why it's has a simple reasons that people don't get tested anymore at the designated testing site. so the vast majority of infections are, it's go going on, reported. and so we use other tools, for example, we analyze big data. and for example, how many pandemic related keywords have been used in search engines or at hashtags in on social media? or we use other available online polls and, you know, all those are data suggest sick. he, it in beijing is basically right now,

one of the epicenter of the pandemic. and also one of the places where the 1st covered wave will peak probably the earliest to could already peak at the end of the month. and we know that probably most of the people here in beijing have already been infected in the last 2 weeks and now are slowly recovering. and in the beginning, especially there were long queues in front of the hospitals, especially at the fuel fuel fever clinics. that has improved quite a bit, but we know from reporters who visited funeral homes and also crematorium that and they are working at full capacity, saw that all points to an excessive amount of deaths. but we don't know exactly how many that is really a very difficult to answer right now. well, certainly the government can't ignore these facts on the ground. as you describe them, you know, the lines of the hospitals and the crematorium, the working over time, or just people not showing up for work because they're sick. so would the government possibly consider returning to this 0 cove?

it policy where that is literally impossible. there's you recovered was basically am to contain the virus completely. and once you know, the virus has spread to a certain amount like it hasn't china, of course, there's no turning box back any more. what we could see is some kind of em efforts to slow the spread of the virus, for example, that schools were target suspended, or maybe our elderly homes getting close to 4 visitors. those matters. yes, those can happen. but, and those really locked down. so if you've seen during others recover policy here and they will not happen again, i'm quite sure about that because they were also many big reasons why the government has suspended. as he recovered, it was not only the public protest into the public sentiment and that his are brought on as he recovered. also, the really dirt derek deterred deteriorating effect on the economy. and so, as he recovered was not sustainable anyway, so i don't think there will be returning back to their policy. what about vaccination and china up to now they use their own vaccines?

are they effective enough, or would they consider using foreign jobs at some point where the chinese government long had the opportunity to use a foreign vaccines, for example, biotech. there were long waiting to enter the market here, but they never received an approval. and i think right now the big question is rather not whether they will use foreign vaccines, but rather how fast they can get their elderly population in china vaccinated with their domestic vaccines. they also do the job, they're also efficient. but for them, it's very critical that you receive a 3rd, a booster shot arm to be efficient against our micron and the booster rate, especially among the people who are 80 years or older is really too low. so it's really a fight against the time. and so far, of course vaccination campaign is you know, increasing, but i mean, the speed is not enough or we basically have to get all the elderly vaccinated by the end of january. and i mean, that's almost an impossible task. fabi encroachment and beijing,
