Hmm, in case you really want to see the numbers:
There are also the vaccination numbers:
The laws in China do not require the government and its branches to make annoucements in languages other than Chinese.

He doesn’t believe those numbers anyways.
Well, I cannot help with that. At least next time, he won't be able to claim "we don't get the numbers."
Now the numbers have been sent his way, it's up to him to take it or beat it.
Looks like authorities will double down on the Zero -Covid policy. Olympics/Paralympic’s won’t end until mid March. Then 20th Party Congress in October/ November. Zero Covid strategy will likely continue for majority of 2022.
I think the epidemiologist community thinks that is kind of a myth. Since mutations are random, a more severe variant can appear. Whether it becomes the dominant variant is super complicated, nobody can say for sure it will become more mild.
On why Omnicron evolved to be more mild than Delta:
The Omnicron is more "Mild" because tends to replicate first in the nose/bronchus/upper airways, whereas Delta is more "Severe" because it tends to replicate first in the lower lungs/lower respiratory system, which deeper infection is more likely to trigger an systemic inflammation (cytokine storm) in which your body overreacts and attacks yourself. More likely to get long COVID due to lung damage too. Also, Getting Bronchitis via Omnicron is way better than getting Pneumonia via Delta, which explains why hospitalization is reported to be lower for Omnicron compared to Delta. It also explains why Omnicron has increased spread/transmission (infects the nasal area/upper airways) compared to Delta.
@daifo bro that is the first thing my doctor friend told me, never go to the hospital. It's infected with diseases cause their filtration system is poorly design.
