--Domestic travel is the cause of the Corona outbreak in China
Experts believe that traveling within the country before the Chinese New Year, when families gather together to celebrate, has accelerated the spread of the virus.
-About 80 percent of Chinese people could have contracted the virus now, said Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. This represents more than a billion people.
The institute said that it now expects a large and long wave of injuries, instead of two waves like previous expectations.
The institute warned that this would lead to increased pressure on hospitals and an increase in the death rate.
It is noteworthy that after adopting a strict lockdown strategy for nearly three years, China abruptly abolished mandatory quarantine and large-scale testing seven weeks ago. Since then, there have been reports of overcrowding in hospitals, overcrowding of incinerators and shortages of medicines.
