Taiwanese Lab Leak In 2021 December

Before this leak, Covid cases in Taiwan, Communist China, Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, and even Singapore were comparatively low. In 2022, these nations showed geometric gains in both Covid cases and even deaths.

In Taiwan and Communist China, it took a few months(late April to early May) before this leak really manifested itself in a huge spike in Omicron cases. In Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea, the exponential rise in cases took place sooner(late January to mid February).

The draconian lockdowns in China did help to curtail the spread of Covid, although overall it did more harm than good. Since that lab leak in Taiwan, China had in actuality 75 million new symptomatic cases and 225,000 deaths. Now that these high levels of restrictions have been lifted, it is expected that in this coming year 300 million new symptomatic cases and 900,000 deaths will occur. This is a 300% increase from the previous year.

It was inevitable that these extreme preventive measures had to end. After all, no one can "hide in their home forever while the monster lurks outside" forever. At a certain point in time, China would have to take on this opportunistic pathogen head-on. It is of utmost hope that in the three years of lockdowns, China has enough properly-trained staff and infrastructure to now focus on the treatment of the BF.7 variant of Omicron rather than on preventive measures.
