Four deaths that were classified as having unknown causes and were tentatively linked to COVID-19 have been updated as new information has come to light
Public Health Sudbury and Districts reported on Monday there had been a decrease of four COVID-related deaths since Friday’s summary report. PHSD reported in the daily summary that this was due to several deaths having been reported as cause unknown in recent weeks.
In the other four cases, PHSD said it was discovered that four deaths were not COVID-related deaths at all. This means the accumulated number of deaths since March of 2020 now sits at 192, and not 196 as was previously reported.

China’s COVID trapLONDON, U.K.—“Our COVID-19 policy is the most scientifically effective, the most economical, and yields the best result,” insisted the People’s Daily newspaper in China after mass public protests against the government’s zero-COVID policy last weekend. If President Xi Jinping believes that, he is in for a lot more trouble. The protests were unprecedented in their scale and daring. They broke out spontaneously in 12 cities across China after 10 lockdown-related deaths in the remote province of Xinjiang. All sorts of people took part, from students to workers to pensioners.

Or rather, against Xi’s personal policy, for he has deliberately chosen to portray zero-COVID as the greatest achievement of his time in office. That made sense in the first year of the pandemic, for China’s relentless lockdowns and mass testing campaigns saved a great many lives. Total COVID-related deaths in China have been around 5,000 out of a population of 1.4 billion. The United States, with less than a quarter of China’s population, had more than one million COVID deaths.
