COVID cases since 1 March, yet nobody has died and there is only one seriously ill person. Such statistics fly in the face of the rest of the world's experience with COVID.

Wu Zunyou of China's Center for Disease Control said death rates were minimal because of efforts to curb outbreaks early and China's high vaccination rate. "Compared with overseas, our country's COVID-19 death rate is low because of the various measures to prevent or reduce deaths." When reporting deaths, there are strong incentives in China not to attribute them directly to COVID if alternative underlying conditions are available.

Because of official obfuscation, it is simply impossible to know how many have died from COVID there. China also spends lots of time blaming imported frozen food and mail for spreading COVID.

Beijing claims a Zero-COVID policy must be followed because "Omicron can generate a higher mortality rate than Delta during the epidemic".

The order requires the Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service to identify threats to older trees, such as wildfire and climate change, and develop policies to safeguard them.The order does not ban logging of mature or old-growth trees, the White House said.FILE IMAGE - Burned-out equipment sits by a river on Nov.
