China’s COVID deaths expected to hit 36,000 a day during holiday

Beijing | China is likely to see 36,000 COVID-19 deaths a day during the Lunar New Year holidays, making it one of the deadliest periods of the pandemic, according to an updated analysis of the largest outbreak the world has yet experienced.

The revised figures from the independent forecasting firm Airfinity added 11,000 deaths a day to its December 29 estimate, a jump that shows the breathtaking pace of the outbreak and the lack of clear information about how it is spreading in the world’s most populous nation.
