COVID-19 Nightmare for China and Global Village

Introduction of COVID-19

COVID-19 was a Nightmare for China and the Global Village. All the countries of the global village became a victim of it. The whole world was in a state of shock. Covid-19 destroys all the systems of the sectors of the world.

It changed social lives and the beauty of life was living together becomes the curse. Even handshakes were prohibited and if you don’t follow you can be the next victim of death. More than 6.84 million people died and It had a severe impact on the global economy.

Initially, the collective GDP of the global world dropped by 3.4 percent. A 3.4 percent drop means more than two trillion US dollars lost in the economic growth of the world.

New Year Celebration 2023

Welcome to 2023. New Year was celebrated all over the world. Everyone enjoyed flashing images of celebrations for the 2023 New Year celebrations. All feel relieved after COVID-19 and a difficult 2022. Happy New Year and hopefully this year will be better and phenomenal than last year we’ve had.
In the Chinese city of Wuhan, there were smiling crowds. Where the pandemic began nearly three years ago, and where covid is back the Chinese authorities say the situation is under control.
China reopening its borders. It was a nightmare for China. They closed their borders to the world for a thousand Days. China’s reopening in 2023 was the biggest economic event.

China opens the country for business with the rest of the world his actions will have a profound global impact. Its population had suffered through lockdowns.

Innovative Measures for Detecting Emerging Variants

 Italy, Spain, and France screening passengers on arrival from China for COVID-19. These measures will help identify any new variants that emerge. One measure that could be taken to identify new variants.

This might occur because a lot of viruses are now circulating in China and other countries. But we have to think of other measures like sequencing these isolates and then we are able to quickly identify new variants and take appropriate measures.

China’s Zero COVID Policy and its Impact

China adopted a zero covid policy for saving lives, and bear all the consequences of the lockdown. Finally, there was relief that China’s zero covid policy is over. That`s very hard to measure the success of a zero covid policy. The difficulty lies in accounting for lives that may have been saved versus the life that has been ruined. The first coronavirus lockdown in Wuhan believed to be the starting point of the pandemic, captured the world’s attention on 23 January 2020. The restrictions and strict enforcement shocked the world, as Wuhan city was cordoned off from the rest of the country.

It proved to be a highly successful method of tackling the COVID-19 virus. China implemented as decided and shown zero tolerance for any case. If one case was identified the whole protocol was enacted to put it under control, electronic tracking, and controlling of the residence movements through QR codes. It saved millions of lives.
The Chinese government was very attentive to the people’s reactions to their policies. They faced a society, where they clearly said that they were not gonna take any more measures.

COVID-19 proved a Nightmare for China and the Global Village. They received reports on the protests from Beijing. People tried to cut metal chains trying to break free from lockdown in an eastern district of the city. It all started with a fire in Rumchi the capital of the province of Xinjiang.

They said that the firefighters could not act in time. Because of the physical restrictions. That was in place so several people died. They were aware that people were growing weary of these years of restrictions.

Eventually, have to lead the country back to normal times. These measures were also discriminatory. Finally, the policy ended suddenly and there was a moment in which they were going to be able to pick up their lives where they left them three years ago.

World Health Organization

The World Health Organization is working closely with global experts, governments, and partners. WHO (World Health Organization) has said that hopefully it will be the last year of it, and we will be able to officially declare the end of the COVID pandemic.

But there is still a danger of new more deadly variants can emerge. nearly 6.7 million people have died of covid-19. WHO expanding scientific knowledge on this new virus, tracking the spread and virulence of the virus, and providing advice to countries and individuals on measures to protect health and prevent the spread of this outbreak.

All over the world WHO’s Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan is in action behind the scenes and in all countries across the world on coordination, surveillance, prevention, treatment, and much more.
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses. That causes illnesses ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases. Vaccinations protect people against severe diseases but effective vaccine access still remains very unequal in many parts of the world.

China Faces Alarming COVID-19 Resurgence

Shifting our focus to China, the country is currently grappling with a resurgence of COVID-19, which has returned just three months after affecting thousands. This new outbreak is alarming, and experts suggest it could become the most extensive wave of illness China has ever experienced. Should the rest of the world be concerned? Let’s start with the numbers. Beijing’s health authorities reported over 25,000 COVID-19 cases in the city this week, the highest weekly number in recent months. A Bloomberg report even predicts this new wave could result in 40 million weekly cases by the end of May and a staggering 65 million by the end of June.

What’s causing this surge?

It’s not a single variant but a combination of mutations, with three subvariants standing out: XBB 0.1.91, XBB 0.1.9.1, and XDB 0.1.16. While experts believe this wave will be less severe than the previous one, they stress the need for a vigorous booster program and a ready supply of antivirals in hospitals to prevent a surge in mortality, especially among the elderly population.

The situation is complicated by the lack of transparency regarding infection data in other parts of China. The country stopped releasing domestic infection data after April, and life seems to continue as usual for most citizens, with few reinstated restrictions. On the vaccine front, China has new vaccines targeting these variants, with preliminary approval given for two of them. This wave may not be as severe, but it still poses challenges for health authorities, and the risk of cases spilling over to other countries remains a concern.

People are learning to live with the virus rather than eliminate it. We have to live with Corona. Because it’s not clear how this will develop. It could be like the flu or like symptoms with a severe case occasionally or it’s just a common code, nobody knows. Everyone acts responsibly to end the Nightmare for China and the Global Village but there is still a need to be vigilant from new variants.
