中国官员一再表示，他们正在分享信息，指出GISAID的顺序以及与世卫组织的会面。
但世卫组织官员一再要求更多——不仅在基因测序方面，而且在住院、重症监护病房入院和死亡方面。世卫组织总干事Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus本周对中国的生命风险表示关切。
联合国卫生机构负责人说：“数据对于世卫组织对全球局势进行定期、快速和强有力的风险评估仍然至关重要。”

The World Health Organization has accused China of “under-representing” the severity of its Covid outbreak and criticized its “narrow” definition of what constitutes a Covid death, as top global health officials urge Beijing to share more data about the explosive spread.
“We continue to ask China for more rapid, regular, reliable data on hospitalizations and deaths, as well as more comprehensive, real-time viral sequencing,” WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a media briefing in Geneva Wednesday.
“WHO is concerned about the risk to life in China and has reiterated the importance of vaccination, including booster doses, to protect against hospitalization, severe disease, and death,” he said.
Speaking in more detail, WHO executive director for health emergencies Mike Ryan said the numbers released by China “under-represent the true impact of the disease” in terms of hospital and ICU admissions, as well as deaths.
世界卫生组织(WHO)指责中国”低估”了新冠肺炎的发病严重程度,并批评中国”狭隘”地定义了新冠肺炎死亡者,因为全球保健当局高层人士敦促中国共享更多的爆炸性扩散数据。
世卫组织总干事加布雷耶苏斯星期三在日内瓦举行的媒体简报会上说:”我们继续要求中国提供更快、更定期、更可靠的住院和死亡数据，以及更全面的实时病毒测序。”
他说:”世卫组织担心中国的生命危险，并重申接种疫苗，包括增效剂量的重要性，以防止住院、重症疾病和死亡。”
世卫组织负责紧急卫生事务的执行主任Mike Ryan更详细地说，中国公布的数字”低估了该疾病在住院和重症监护室以及死亡方面的真正影响”。

https://twitter.com/jenniferzeng97/status/1610218786149236737?s=20&t=RZ-pWvbmxwQQpCkFpm_aLgThe World Health Organization has criticised China for ‘under-representing’ the true number of coronavirus deaths since it scrapped its ‘zero-Covid’ policies.
In a rare rebuke of Beijing, the UN agency said on Wednesday China was using a ‘very narrow’ definition of Covid deaths, warning that official statistics were not showing the true impact of the massive on-going outbreak sweeping the country.
The comment came as the WHO prepares to meet with Chinese scientists again on Thursday as part of a wider briefing among member states on the global COVID-19 situation, amid concerns that the virus could spread further, and of new variants.
世界卫生组织(WHO)自中国废除”零新冠肺炎”政策以来,一直批评中国”低估”新冠肺炎死亡人数。
联合国人权机构星期三说，中国罕见地指责北京，并警告说，官方统计数据没有显示大规模疫情席卷全国的真正影响。
这是世界卫生组织(WHO)在担心病毒进一步扩散的情况下,作为成员国之间关于全球新冠肺炎情况的广泛新闻发布会的一环,准备周四再次与中国科学家见面时做出的发言。

A simple “Are you okay?” was enough for Stella (not her real name), 30 years old, to open the floodgates: “Five months after the Shanghai lockdown, we are still locked up in China. We don’t know if we will be able to go outside next weekend or even leave our apartment because we are still at risk of being quarantined at the slightest contact in the building. This constant uncertainty is exhausting. I want to go out, to see the world,” said the young woman, sitting on a mattress in a gym in the city center
