When it eventually ends its zero-COVID strategy, deployed in August 2021 to stop the spread and prevent new cases, China could experience a new wave driven by the Omicron variant capable of causing up to 1.5 million deaths and demand for up to 15 times the country\u2019s intensive care capacity, according to a mathematical model produced by Fudan University in Shanghai and the US National Institutes of Health (<em>Nature Medicine<\/em>, May 10). The team\u2019s calculations suggest that only a combination of strategies\u2014vaccination, antiviral therapies, masks, and social distancing\u2014could reduce the number of deaths and the burden on health services.
