This has been my gripe about COVID data in general, and a lot of professionals have expressed similar frustrations. It looks at first glance as if the authorities are attempting to be open and helpful. But when you actually try to perform any statistical operations on the data, you find that you can’t, because something has been done to make them close-to-useless. If you happen to know where the official spreadsheet is I’ll have a quick look at the age-at-death, but the quantization noise will introduce such a large amount of uncertainty into the outcome that I doubt it will be meaningful, given the tiny number of people who died “of” COVID.
I really don’t see how this can be anything but deliberate. Whatever else these people might be, they’re not idiots. My guess is that omicron is about to fade away, and the last thing anybody wants is for people to be conducting post-mortems (in any sense of the word).
It’s amazing, isn’t it, how the authorities are so supremely confident about complex and subtle aspects of COVID, but after two years and hundreds of millions of patients to observe, they haven’t been able to pin down one of those “mysteries” that looks like it might be rather easy to solve … particularly if you had reliable data on hand?
Recorded COVID death risk tracks all-cause mortality risk to an astonishing degree - the last time I checked I think the correlation was 0.9-something. Since all-cause risk for men is somewhat higher than for women generally, and no distinction is being made between ‘of’ and ‘with’ deaths, the observation that men die “of or with” COVID is most likely just a statistical artifact.
In case you missed it . . .

Factors like obesity?
Female = 64 (47.76%)
Male = 70 (52.24%)
90s = 29 (21.64%)
80s = 46 (34.33%)
70s = 32 (23.88%)
60s = 19 (14.18%)
50s = 5 (3.73%)
40s = 2 (1.49%)
30s = 1 (0.75%)
0 = 48 (35.82%)
1 = 10 (7.46%)
2 = 22 (16.42%)
3 = 51 (38.06%)
4 = 3 (2.24%)
Yes = 127 (94.78%)
No = 7 (5.22%)
0 = 4 (Ages - 80s, 80s, 70s, 60s)
2 = 1 (Age - 90s)
3 = 2 (Ages - 60s, 40s)
If one takes those deaths as a fraction of the relevant population slice, the correlation with all-cause mortality risk is 0.9997. All-cause risk is inherently exponential, so we can get a more meaningful picture by taking the log of both risk values; this then yields a correlation of 0.994 (although for over-60’s, it’s still 0.9996). The implication is that COVID provides only a very, very small fraction of the reason for death in these cases, and that almost all of them died of what used to be called “old age”, or “natural causes”.
Of course this calculation is a bit suspect, based as it is on one day’s data. If anyone can post the link to the total dataset, I’ll attempt it again with all the published data. I’ll also attempt a more accurate extrapolation of decade-wide age bins than the rough-and-ready method I used here.

61 new confirmed cases of border interception of Omicron subtype variants BA.4 and BA.5 imported from abroad
Release date: 2022-06-27
Summary
The Central Epidemic Epidemic Command Center announced today (27) that 61 new cases were confirmed by border interception of Omicron subtype variants BA.4 and BA.5.
According to the command center, 8 strains of Omicron BA.4 and 53 strains of Omicron BA.5 were newly detected in the domestic and overseas immigration cases. The cases were 40 males and 21 females, aged between under 10 and over 60 years old. The entry date is from June 10th to June 18th, today (2022). Among them, 4 cases of Omicron BA were detected from the United States (3 cases), Singapore (2 cases), France, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates (1 case each); 5 cases of Omicron BA were detected from the United States (13 cases) , Germany and France (6 cases each), Singapore (4 cases), the United Kingdom (3 cases), Thailand, Turkey, Denmark (2 cases each), Spain, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Poland, Nigeria, Indonesia, the Netherlands, India , Belgium, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, the United Arab Emirates (1 case each), and the other infected country is under investigation.
The command center explained that the international Omicron subtype variants BA.4 and BA.5 were first discovered in South Africa in January and February this year, respectively. Studies have shown that the two virus strains have high infectivity and immune escape characteristics. The ability of community transmission, from April to May this year, has rapidly triggered the fifth wave of the epidemic in South Africa; the World Health Organization (WHO) data on June 22 this year pointed out that about 60 countries have detected BA.4 and BA.4 respectively. BA.5, the number of infected countries and cases of the two mutant strains has continued to increase in the world, and has led to an increase in the number of hospitalizations in some countries.
The command center further stated that the recent BA.5 virus strain has caused a rapid rise in the epidemic situation in Portugal and Israel in Europe. 5 Epidemic; New Zealand, Australia, South Korea, Japan and Indonesia have community infection cases in other neighboring countries, of which New Zealand and Australia assess that it may become the mainstream strain in the country in the future.
The command center emphasized that according to existing research, the probability of serious illness caused by BA.4 and BA.5 is not significantly higher, but the infectivity has increased, and it still needs to be closely monitored and the vaccination rate should be increased. Vaccination against COVID-19 can reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalization or death from contracting COVID-19, and the command center urges the public to complete the vaccination as soon as possible to gain protection.

Good stuff.
On a sort of curious note.
Does anyone watch these pressers anymore now that #s broke below 30k?
Can anyone tell if the amount of viewers have receded?
In the U.S. it is sometimes easy to tell the # of viewers of some live (usually political) event by the count number of those logged into YouTube or whatnot.
Just wondering if local media have now gone onto the next biggest story like potential typhoons, scooters getting run over by cement truck, etc.
I see more fear-mongering about Monkey Pox nowadays (something no one in their right mind should be afraid of) than COVID in the media.

It seems odd for there to be such a long lag. Never noticed that before, but it appears most of the deaths occurred several days prior to being reported? I wonder why it takes so long.
By the way, is “still under investigation” the correct translation for “調查中” in the symptoms column? I don’t get why the symptoms (if any) wouldn’t be apparent at the time of death (and, indeed, several days later when the death is reported).
Seems like it would be a bit too late to try and take the medical history of someone who died ten days prior.

The “correct” translation is “Survey”.
What does that mean? According to the CECC, it means that the case is still being surveyed in that they don’t have a designated symptom as yet.
In English “Still under investigation” is much more clear than the Mandarin Chabuduo “Survey”.
