Covid continues to wreak havoc in China with a record number of daily cases, deaths, and hospitalizations. Reports say that hospitals have run out of beds, oxygen and ICUs have filled up. People are also lining up outside crematoriums as all of them are running at full capacity and have waiting periods of several hours. 

One of such video surfaced where people can be seen lining up with bodies wrapped in bags outside crematoriums. The video was shared by one epidemiologist and health economist Eric Feigl-Ding, who has been constantly sharing reports and anecdotal Covid figures from China.

Sharing the video on Twitter, Eric said: “Long lines at crematoriums…imagine having to not just wait for hours to cremate your loved ones, but have to do it carrying their deceased bodies for all those hours…let’s have empathy for the horrific #COVID19 wave crashing into China.”

The epidemiologist on Sunday claimed that frustrated staffers in Beijing state media are now venting that they can’t run certain TV shows because over half of staff are home sick with Covid.

While reports suggest a grim situation in the country, China has stopped releasing daily Covid numbers. On Saturday, the country reported less than 5,000 cases and no deaths.

China has decided that it will drop quarantine for overseas visitors from 8 January. This decision has prompted concerns about the potential for new variants beyond China’s borders.

Several countries including India has recently took measure to prevent an influx of cases. Recently China had abolished it’s contentious zero-covid approach, the decision has not done well and with low vaccination rates especially among elderly people, covid cases has surged to a level beyond the capacity of existing hospital infrastructure.
