Interesting read. But always remember, China is a country that does not let their people know the truth what happens in the world (the great firewall). So I'm not all convinced that they let the world know the truth what happens in China. The article could be an honest personal report or it could be government-backed propaganda. How do we know?

After the Xi era, I think Chinese propaganda will actually move in a more critical/informative direction like Sixth Tone, since the current overt methods are losing effectiveness. But again, that could also just mean real reporting depending on how the government evolves.

#13FYI, this publication, and its parent is pretty much People's Daily in disguise. It is made along the lines of Shanghai Oriental Morning Post 2.0. Without a doubt, it is an even more of a state organ media than it's spiritual predecessor, despite the mandate to push "dissenting" view. Unlike something like Southern Weekly, which had not a single party cadre in its editors, despite being overtly party ran, but closed…
At -2 (and counting) for this currently, any downvoters care to comment as to why? If indeed this publication is a propaganda mouthpiece, then my surprise that they're publishing something that reflects badly on their medical providers should be easy to understand

#15basically no one died or got infected... lovely story. and as the great w would say, mission accomplished.
>and as the great w would say, mission accomplished Sorry, but the use of this quote out of context is one of my pet peeves, and the similarity is striking. In the case of G.W, he was receiving sailors returning to port after completing their deployment in harm's way. Their mission was accomplished. The message was not that war is over, as the media insinuated. In fact, the counterpoint was made in the speech[1], alt…

Everything is propaganda, so put on your critical thinking cap and judge for yourself.

#17"Indeed, in our experience, no medicine was particularly useful. Instead, the most effective solution was oxygen. For around 60% of our patients, oxygen saturation was improved by using oxygen masks with a reservoir bag. In more severe cases, we would also use a nasal cannula and an oxygen mask to increase the volume of oxygen."
I took chloroquine years ago as a preventative anti-malaria when I was in India. I didn't get the weird dreams, but I got the harsh bowl movement, heart palpations, etc. I had to stop taking it and so did someone else on the trip. Had I got malaria I knew it would be worse, but I could start taking them again as a treatment drug as well.
Others on the trip didn't have any issues so I'm sure it's individual, but it is a very serious drug that can be hard on your system. I don't think that's been made clear.

I would love to see what's wrong with this particular article that's not true. From what I am reading, most of the piece was based on the the doctor's experience.
May well be nothing.
The gotcha here is not what is being said, but why it is there in the first place.
