China is likely experiencing 1 million Covid-19 infections and 5,000 virus deaths every day as it grapples with what is expected to be the biggest outbreak the world has ever seen, according to a new analysis.
The situation could get even worse for the country of 1.4 billion people. The current wave may push the daily case rate to 3.7 million by January, according to Airfinity Ltd, a London-based analytics firm. There will likely then be another surge of infections that will push the daily peak to 4.2 million in March, the group estimated.
