An estimated 1.87 million excess deaths occurred in the first two months after communist China abruptly ended its draconian “zero-COVID” restrictions in December last year, according to a new U.S. study.

The study by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle states that excess deaths occurred among individuals aged 30 and above, which were observed across all provinces in China except for Tibet.
