Chinese hospitals are already feeling a shock wave of new cases, and they're scrambling to set up new intensive care units in preparation for more infections.

- Long lines formed outside fever clinics as people with symptoms sought treatment and COVID tests, Reuters reports.
- Chinese experts are urging Beijing to quickly approve updated vaccines that are more effective against newer strains of the virus, per the Financial Times. Those vaccinated in China have received the Sinopharm and Sinovac jabs, which are less effective against omicron.
- People have rushed to pharmacies to stock up on cold medicines, including traditional Chinese herbal remedies the Chinese government has heavily promoted as beneficial to treating COVID but which so far have scant scientific evidence to support their efficacy.
- Feng Zijian, who advises China's COVID task force, said last week that COVID could infect up to 840 million people, per the New York Times.
