During a busy shift at the height of Beijing's COVID wave, a physician at a private hospital saw a printed notice in the emergency department: doctors should ‘try not to’ write COVID-induced respiratory failure on death certificates

Instead, if the deceased had an underlying disease, that should be named as the main cause of death, according to the notice, a copy of which was seen by Reuters.

"We have stopped classifying COVID deaths since the reopening in December," said a doctor at a large public hospital in Shanghai. "It is pointless to do that because almost everyone is positive." Several said they were told such guidance came from "the government", though none knew from which department, a common situation in China when politically sensitive instructions are disseminated.

Michael Baker, a public health scholar at the University of Otago in New Zealand, said the updated death toll still "looks low" compared with the high level of infection in China. “The hospital was full of patients, all in their 80s or 90s, and doctors had no time to talk to anyone,” Yao said, adding that everyone seemed to have similar COVID-like symptoms.

Interesting contrast. In the US, doctors are putting covid as tge cause of death even if you got shot or died in a car crash. Marketing...

“Discouraged” 🥴

Same was the case in india

sounds like Florida

While in Ireland we were making up covid deaths

No here, every skydiving accident and drowning has been a covid death for 3 years.

Who would’ve thought

What are your sources ❓❓❓❓🚨

If this would’ve been the case in the US it would’ve been less severe than the flu.

This is what happens when you have a leader too proud to admit failure. It even happened in the US and resulted in thousands of preventable deaths.

🤡🤡🤡🤡

Aqui no Brasil, uma morte por atropelamento, é colocado como morte por COVID...e vcs não falam nada sobre.

Wow

Lol private hospital in China doesn’t even accept Covid patients

You can NEVER know what is the truth that comes out of a communist country every one in China works for the CCP. This is why for a ferry long time the western policies were to not make deals with communists. But traitors stopped that policy and made deals with the CCP.

During first year in UK everyone who had breathing problems while dying had written COVID on death certificate without any tests. Can you imagine a person who is dying that doesn't have breathing problems? 🤡 And that's where the COVID numbers came from...
