skills on a frozen river in the middle of the city. after 3 years of constant restrictions on freedom, many are still strangers to the new situation of ha, ha ha. we're afraid of the virus, especially because we have a child. we don't want him to get too close to any one and we really go out. many chinese are struggling with the government's messaging until recently, officials issued regular warnings about the virus. now suddenly, it's not supposed to be so bad when it's a challenge with the core problem. people are making themselves afraid. in recent years, the government has had good intentions, but exaggerated the danger of virus. awkward, normal life outside seems to be returning. the streets are busier, but saw 2 other hospitals. as the rapid spread of the virus mix its mark on the health care system. staff are completely unprepared at this emergency room in b jing, it's over flowing and over loaded. in the corridors,

the deceased lie on hospital beds on the floor, a completely exhausted elderly lady. she has covered according to her relatives, outside. someone brought his 8 year old parents here. oh, we've had a check up and were waiting for the results. know if had a fever for a week, the temperature goes up and down all her. since the end of the 0 corbett policy official death tolls have been hard to come by. but in front of the crime atoria, there are long lines with houses. we can only briefly take pictures with the smartphone. police are on guard everywhere. employees of the crematorium, tell us they are much busier than usual. the virus is spreading as a rapid pace. you can see that in the big cities according to one, but they, me, ologist it may only take

a month from the beginning to the end. for data. i'm with 6070, even 80 percent of people being attracted. so we know the oval timeline and that this narrow window of opportunity to, to have actions. now that would save people's lives. that officials have plates to expand clinical capacities like here at the sports hall and to ramp vaccination rates among the elderly. many of them are still not adequately protected. according to scientists only 3 injections of the chinese and activated vaccine, or for protection against the severe course of the disease. ruby hung from the national taiwan university is monitoring things in china. i asked her to describe the situation. hi, yes, to southern u. turn of the 0 coley policy and the rapid wave of columbus spread apparently has revealed the front jaw health care system of china. and the failure to implement

vaccination drive to the vulnerable populations such as the elderly. so we're seeing down to search capacity of the infrastructure in china being saturated very fast. with newly diagnosed cases, every day, hospital beds are overloaded, medications are in shortage and this has caused over, in fact, to places like in singapore, anti one word over the counter medication for flu are being brought out to be sent to china to help friends and family there none of this is a surprise considering the recovery policy is now over. so how prepared was trying to for this yes, china was probably the last major country to hold on to heart with 0 tolerance policy towards commit. but china probably overlooked the reason for any country to

hold harsh. come tame and policy towards any pandemic, which is to buy enough time for other preparedness to lean meant as such as vaccine and medications. so we're seeing that the chinese government has failed to actually implement a broader preparedness program, a plan in terms of how to cover the majority of the population was more effective vaccine such as the m r n a technology and also to stockpile the antivirus medications that even the fundamental as the flu and time of fever medication. and so we see that on the communication and is lacking in the public domain to actually educate

the elderly to encourage them to come up to get vaccinated. and we see that the elderly population are the most vulnerable group for this new wave of cove. it just briefly do you think china getting on top of this anytime soon? we hope so, because we know this one has a this will have tremendous impact globally, because 1st of all, the supply chain probably will be disrupted if a lot of the work force is out of out of the duty due to a coven. so we think that they could probably, the 1st thing they could do is speed up your vaccination drive now, and probably be more tolerable on well coming. other forwarding

vaccines, such as a m, r, any knology vaccines. we know that they are now open up for the flooring expense in china to get the m r. that seems whether or not they could consider to get to seeing vaccine, which has been proven to be more effective in their own vaccine, to their own population. we hope that they would consider this. thank you very much for your analysis. professor ruby, one in taipei, some other stories making headlines around the world. the panel investigating the attack on the u. s. capital has released its final report. the congressional committee found former president donald trump criminally engaged in a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. oh, the panel is asked the justice department to prosecute trump full for alleged crimes including aiding insurrection. this is murphy. i a u. s. judge has for the sam bank, mon fried owner, $250000000.00 bond, is facing fraud charges with
