Good morning. Questions over China’s Covid deaths, gas-price cap talks and Musk asks Twitter users whether he should step down as CEO. Here’s what people are talking about
More than a month after China started seeing an exponential surge in Covid cases, the country has only reported two virus deaths, defying the experience of other, more vaccinated and better resourced places as they reopened and fueling suspicion the true scale of fatalities is being hidden. The swift abandonment of Covid Zero has seen infections explode in places like Beijing. This aligns with what other places experienced as they shifted from eliminating Covid to living with it — except for the lack of officially reported deaths.
