health commission says the number of corona virus cases are decreasing since easing some of its tough restrictions by ging decided to loosen it 0 coven policy on wednesday. after days of protests in beijing and shanghai. but people are being urged to remain vigilant and continue testing. health authorities are reporting nearly 14000 new infections compared 216008 day earlier. some restrictions further being aged on saturday. authorities say they'll stop testing truck drivers and ship crews transporting goods domestically. only 40 percent of the chinese population above the age of 80 has had booster shots already say they'll bring vaccines to people in nursing homes and use mobile vaccination sanctions for more on this. let's bring in pull hunter, who's in chest in the u. k. he's an epidemiologist and a professor of medicine at the university of east and lia pull thanks so much for being on the program. firstly, how can we open the country so quickly without risking a tide of debt? well, i think china is in a very difficult position at the moment it vaccinated it's population. it's not, not that many vaccines of the last year. and as you pointed out, the suggestion that the vaccinate you don't, you are relatively small proportion of the more vulnerable people in china. the problem is, but vaccine protects against infection, probably for only about 6 months and, and against more severe disease for about a year. and so a lot of the protection that they had from the vaccine campaign probably is disappeared. now, for most of many of the population of china, the problem is that whatever you do, what you will get a search of infections as he left actions ultimately. but if you don't lift sanctions, that controls and keep coping suppressed you effectively. loons ultimately in a year or set links, all the benefits of having vaccinate your population. so very difficult situation trying to found themselves in speaking of the efficacy of that vaccinations. so what do you think we will say in the coming weeks and months ahead in terms of the impact and the number of cases? well, i think it depends on what the chinese did. i think that they almost certainly need to go and relax and a lot of people and particularly that of the population to make sure that as many are connected as possible, because not only is it a risk to those individuals not be vaccinated. but when you get a lot of very sick, very old people that puts intense pressure on the house with knock on throughout throughout the health services. so i think he needs to re vaccinate many has vaccinations in the past and then open up because if it maintains 0 cobra policy, ultimately, again, he has time, most of the benefits of that vaccine be dissipated, not a big loss. professor paging says, cases are decreasing, want to attribute that to do you think that's actually the case or a people avoiding getting tested altogether? i think it's very difficult. i think we know even in the west, we know now that only a very tiny proportion of people who get cope being tested, the pressure to get tested if you've got symptoms is a lot less than it was even a year ago when we probably in the in the u. k, were picking up about 40 to 45 percent of infections. now it's probably only about one or 2 percent. so actually looking at the figures is, is it's very difficult to interpret them. now, in particular, in the context of china, where one not quite sure how frequently people are testing and how likely they are to go to testing impact to even a year ago. how do you assess the effectiveness of beijing 0 coven strategy? in hindsight, how well has it worked, what do you think that we can learn from it? well, i think it went very well initially, and i think they, they've maintained it too long. when you look at other countries that have been a lot more stringent than we have in the west thing to do, pan korea, they did very well in the 1st year in reducing infections, reducing desk. the problem is when you now look at the data, ultimately they had over the course of the, just as many attractions, if not more than we had in, in, in the west per 1000000 population. so yeah, control measures are really good lagging infections until you have seen in place. but ultimately, all non pharmaceutical interventions are doomed to, to fail eventually. and this is what we're seeing across multiple countries, not just china, certainly lots of lessons to be lab. we appreciate your insights, has always been a epi, jamie ologist, and professor and medicine. thank you.
