China could face more than 630,000 COVID-19 infections a day if it dropped its zero-tolerance policies by lifting travel curbs, according to a study by Peking University mathematicians.

In the report published in China CDC Weekly by the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, the mathematicians said China could not afford to lift travel restrictions without more efficient vaccinations or specific treatments.

And daily cases would hit 275,793 if China took the same approach as Britain and 454,198 if it imitated France, it said. "Our findings have raised a clear warning that, for the time being, we are not ready to embrace 'open-up' strategies resting solely on the hypothesis of herd immunity induced by vaccination advocated by certain western countries."

China has maintained a zero-tolerance policy towards COVID-19, saying the importance of containing local cases when they are found outweighs the disruptions caused by efforts to trace, isolate and treat the infected.

China feels like they have to preface something? To who?

Covid is made in China, served into world... someone has to. remain to them!

Close it up and tight forever, please. We don't care if China open or not.

‘Zero Tolerance’ for Covid-19 in China will possibly continue for another three years or even longer.

Bull crap

Or a global pandemic when you run amateur biosecurity at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

They'd know. The CCP invented COVID

Who cares. First remember CCP lies all the time. Second who cares.

Cool. Hopefully China will stay closed...forever.

They should know since they created it funded by our tax dollars are Fauci direction.

I've lost hope, China seemed so invincible to Covid, now they are looking vulnerable, fallible and human like the rest of us :( SoSad 🎻🎻🎻
