Much much sooner than 38 days. Most of the big cities have already peaked, as measured by Baidu searches. Half of Beijing was already infected last week.

Have they ID'd the strain? Because given China's aging population, and the higher mortality susceptibility, could this really be the the thing makes them justify their lockdown measures again if the deaths get high enough?
- ravel-bar-foo 4y agoI saw it mentioned offhand recently in a way that indicated it was an Omicron (BN.5? BA.3?), but don't know where that strain ID came from. I would assume 1.4B new hosts provides plenty of possibilities for the virus to explore the space of possible mutations, and a new variant is thus pretty much inevitable. Edit: apparently there are 50 or so strains that have been identified in China and no detailed data is coming out right now. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/china-covid-19-surge-new-coronavirus-variant-risk/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/china-covid-19-surge-new-corona...
