December COVID deaths close to 10,000: WHO
世界卫生组织:12 月新冠肺炎死亡人数接近 10,000 人

范克霍夫并不是第一次对中国缺乏新冠肺炎的透明度大声疾呼,也不是唯一一个呼吁中国公开大流行开始的世界领导人。
今年3月,范克尔霍夫向《科学》杂志描述,世卫组织迟来的中国市场数据发现”令人愤怒”,称缺乏合作”可怕得要命”。
美国明尼苏达大学传染病研究与政策中心主任、总统任期内乔·拜登的新冠肺炎特别工作组成员迈克尔·奥斯特霍尔姆博士表示:”范·克霍夫的社论将WHO记录在案。”
“这会不会成为中国分享更多东西的令人信服的动力呢? 不,他们会做他们要做的事情,”奥斯特霍尔姆说。
“我并不乐观,”他补充道。
This is not the first time Van Kerkhove has been vocal about China’s lack of transparency about Covid, nor is she the only world leader to call on China to be forthcoming about the beginnings of the pandemic.
In March, Van Kerkhove described to Science WHO’s late discovery of the Chinese data about the market as “beyond infuriating,” calling the lack of collaboration “scary as hell.”
Dr. Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota and a member of President Joe Biden’s Covid task force during the presidential transition, said Van Kerkhove’s editorial puts WHO on the record on the issue.
“Will that be a compelling incentive for China to share more? No. They’re going to do what they’re going to do,” Osterholm said.
“I am not optimistic,” he added.

然而,COVID-19危机可能是一个例外。习近平坚持零新冠病毒,这不仅是他的标志性政策,也是中国制度优越性的证明。现在整个政策大厦都崩溃了,很难看出他怎么能捡起碎片。这一错误的全部代价尚不清楚——不断上升的社会不满最终可能会削弱该党精英的凝聚力——但很难想象该党自己摆脱这场危机,完全毫发无损。

在北京与快速蔓延的新冠肺炎浪潮作斗争时,中国拒绝了美国一再提出的分享先进疫苗的提议,这种拒绝导致担心疫情死灰复燃的美国官员越来越沮丧。
据要求在讨论审议时不愿透露姓名的美国官员称,美国担心新变种的兴起及其对中国经济的影响,多次通过私人渠道向习近平主席政府提供mRNA疫苗和其他援助。

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。
