Reuters reported on Nov. 27 that as of Nov. 26, the reported new COVID-19 infections in China rose in a fourth straight daily record of 39,791 cases, with 3,709 symptomatic and 36,082 asymptomatic, according to the National Health Commission.
The previous day’s record was 35,183 new cases, and the day before was 34,909 cases.
According to Reuters, the hardest-hit areas were two major cities, “Chongqing, a southwestern city of 32 million people, reported 8,861 new locally transmitted COVID-19 infections, up almost 15% from the 7,721 recorded a day before.
“Guangzhou, a prosperous city in the south of nearly 19 million people, reported a marginal decrease in local cases at 7,412, compared with 7,419 a day before, local authorities said.”
Even with all of the new hospitals built by China, it has only 3.6 ICU beds/100,000 people; the U.S. has 34.7. However, in China, 92.61% of their population have received at least one dose of a vaccine; in the U.S., that comes down to 79%.
