not going to be reintroducing full lockdowns. if they have some kind of lockdowns, it will be very localised, and they will be the kinds of policies that could be blamed on local governments but not on the central government.- governments but not on the central government. what is the level of vaccinations central government. what is the level of vaccinations right - central government. what is the level of vaccinations right now . level of vaccinations right now in china, and in terms of the efficacy of vaccinations that are available for people there? the problem with the vaccination level in china is that they are only using chinese vaccines, and there s a long gap since the last time people were provided the boosterjabs, with a gap of nearly a year ago. we know that the effectiveness of vaccines wanes over a period of time. you re watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: hitting the right note.
that the u.s. would follow a similar path? well, i think it will, john. in fact, there are good data today to support there surely are a spectrum of of cases with this variant. i think the challenge, though, we have right now is transporting data from one p population to another and saying that s exactly how it s going to work. for example, if you look at the uk, they have a significantly higher vaccination level than we do, so what is the underlying protection that comes from even some vaccination? so i think we are overall optimistic that you will see fewer cases. but again, reminding you the number of cases that are getting infected right now is really unprecedented in any respiratory pathogen i have ever seen and i think that that could surely go the opposite way and say even with fewer severe cases per thousand cases, overall, we may have more people hospitalized than we even did with delta. so, dr. wen, you made some waves recently when you said here on cnn that cloth masks
