As life begins to look increasingly normal in Britain and other parts of the world, 49 cities – accounting for a third of China’s population and two-fifths of its economic output – are under partial or total lockdown.
vaccination policy
Vaccination policy with Corona vaccines has been a big part of those criticisms, as reports indicate that only around 40% of people over the age of 80 have received a booster shot and millions are still not immune.
Saw a newspaper "Washington Post" China’s decision to stick with domestically produced vaccines means it has not benefited from what many experts believe is the most effective and flexible vaccine technology, a move possible in a country with large numbers of people who have not had an injection of recall.
The Chinese measures have prompted many companies to close, which has had an impact on the growth rate, as the World Bank expects the country’s GDP to grow by just 3.2%.
Unrealistic strategy
In an interview with the site "Sky News Arabia"Infectious Disease Clinical Pharmacotherapy Consultant Dr Dirar Balawi said that since the beginning of the pandemic we did not know much about the Corona virus and its dynamics and the world was divided into two poles:
The first: politics "Zero corona infections" In the sense of complete closure to keep the least number of infections.
* The second: the policy of group (herd) immunity, i.e. the opening of economic activities, taking into account the precautionary measures.
Balawi indicated that, after about 3 years of pandemic, all year he seemed convinced that it was not possible to resort to only these two strategies, as there is no policy.

It was considered a style "coexistence" It’s the perfect idea to tackle "COVID-19"By opening up the economic sectors to contribute to the progress of the economy and the return of people to their normal state.
As for China, Balawi stressed that it is the only country considered a policy "Zero covid" It’s effective, but it’s politically unrealistic, and that’s what triggered the demonstrations, so they resorted to streamlining procedures.
The solution is coexistence
The consultant for clinical drug treatment of infectious diseases stressed that the solution for China is to coexist with the Corona virus, speeding up the vaccine delivery system, introducing new drugs, preparing the health care system and increasing its efficiency, so that there is better communication with citizens.
This is what health economics and epidemiology professor Islam Annan agreed to, he told the site "Sky News Arabia"China adheres to a policy "Crown Zero"which is the cause of the current crisis, despite the fact that it is currently the best global policy to deal with the virus, as the proportion of corona cases is negligible compared to the large population, coupled with the presence of a weak Omicron mutator.
He stressed the need to consider the economic and livelihood conditions of citizens when making health decisions, because such decisions can lead to a state of boredom among the population, which will be forced to protest and demonstrate against it.

As a result, Chinese sources said authorities are easing quarantine measures and reducing mass testing.
