I get Eric Ding is one to take with a grain of salt, but anticipating another 1M dead (Bloomberg article he linked to) is pretty not good even if it's not "thermonuclear".

Almost 1 million people in China may die from Covid-19 as the government rapidly abandons pandemic curbs, according to a new study by researchers in Hong Kong.

In the absence of a mass vaccination booster campaign and other measures to reduce the impact of the virus, some 684 people per million would die in a nationwide reopening, according to the report, which was co-authored by Gabriel Leung, the former dean of medicine at the University of Hong Kong.

That would amount to about 964,400 deaths, based on China’s population of 1.41 billion, according to Bloomberg calculations.

And this just as supply chains were starting to normalize, better go stock up on TP.
