It used to be 50/50 or 60/40 before Shanghai abnormal asymptomatic cases.

I don't get it. Which country is defensive about the flu? What does the linked article have to do with it?

Just because it used to be that way doesn't mean it will always be that way. It just means the current strain is more transmissible but less virulent, which is actually a trend we've been seeing since Delta.
No shame. Shanghai was announcing that it would not lock down, then within 48 hours Shanghai announced that it would lock down and do mass testing. The central government sent its vice premier with all provinces mobilized. If Shanghai has no shame, then Wuhan should haven't shame either. Xian should be declared outstanding. Shanghai media was attacking Xian for its failure just sometime ago.
So you mean Zhong Nanshan who came out and said that living with covid is wrong at the same time didn't mean anything.
It meant Shanghai had failed. Shanghai as the China financial center with the most medical resources failed.
I just translated what the Shanghai government official said. She said no country would treat a flu with such measures and it is political disease.
It is the same strain. Just look at the China CDC data before Shanghai came along.

I am not a fan of TCM. I believe that TCM has its place but unfortunately the current practioners are ruining it. For example, there still isn't a convincing scientific analysis of how Lianhua Qingwen (莲花清瘟) works and its true effectiveness. The TCM jargons just do not make sense.
But, if I was in a hospital bed with covid, I would not mind taking TCM in addition to the regular treatments.
I am not for or against TCM. As long as WHO and China CDC confirmed TCM has positive effects on covid or other diseases then TCM can be used more widely.I am not a fan of TCM.

Well that's the advantage of TCM, there generally very little side effects for most of the common medicines.
This is nice message to share. In china there is solidarity and hopefully everyone knows they are all in it together.
I saw some reports that zhang wenhong been attacked on his Weibo account. Which is sad to hear. The blame game should not be started. Investigation and finding faults can wait until this is over
As I mentioned in my earlier reply. The guidance is about treatment, not reporting. Hence, the name is treatment guideline. (新型冠状病毒肺炎诊疗方案)
Here is the 9th, newest version of the Covid treatment guideline you like to talk so much about. It contains no mention of how one reports/classifies asymptomatic covid cases.
You can read it yourself.
I explained what my relative told me about the reason for Shanghai to have a strange asy/sy ratio. And I have already listed my reasons for believing him as well. You are certainly free to disagree.
Yes I dun see any wrong with using tcm as an comolimentary treatment along side modern medicine. It's no like patient need to choose one type only. AFAIK there's isn't any interference combining both treatments or any side effects with tcm.
