The boy's death is the latest incident to trigger blowback over China's strict zero-COVID policy, with one critical hashtag racking up 380 million reads on Wednesday on the Twitter-like Weibo platform. At around midday on Tuesday, after his wife slipped and fell after being affected by gas fumes while cooking, Tuo noticed that his son, Wenxuan, was also unwell. Tuo said he tried desperately to call for an ambulance or police, but could not get through. One hashtag, "Three years of COVID was his entire life", became a trending topic before being scrubbed, a common occurance on China's heavily censored Internet. Tuo said he rejected the offer, instead demanding an explanation for his son's death.

Chinese health officials maintain that changing tack now would risk a huge surge in infections and deaths that could overwhelm the country’s fragile health care system. Zhengzhou, a city of 12 million, imposed sweeping lockdown measures last month after identifying dozens of Covid-19 cases. On Wednesday, the Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone, where the Foxconn plant is located, announced new lockdown measures. As the winter approaches, experts warn that China could be hit by a new wave of infections – and a new cycle of draconian lockdowns.

Peste 6.000 de persoane din oraşul Lanzhou, capitala provinciei Gansu din nord-vestul Chinei, au fost testate pozitiv pentru bruceloză, a anunţat guvernul local. Focarul de îmbolnăviri a apărut după ce o bacterie a fost scăpată anul trecut dintr-un laborator al unei companii bio-farmaceutice care produce vaccinuri pentru animale, relatează Reuters. Noua cifră arată aproape o dublare a cazurilor - de la 3.245 de rezultate pozitiv la 14 septembrie. În consecinţă, sterilizarea a fost incompletă iar bacteriile au fost încă prezente în emisiile de gaze ale companiei - uzina bio-farmaceutică din Lanzhou pentru creşterea animalelor. Biroul sanitar din Lanzhou a declarat că bacteria a provenit în general de la oi, bovine şi porci.
