From the section Business

China's economy grew by 6.7% in 2016, compared with 6.9% a year earlier,
according to official data, marking its slowest growth since 1990.
The figure is in line with Beijing's growth target of between 6.5% and 7%.
But the data comes days after the leader of one Chinese province admitted
GDP data was faked for several years.

Environmental groups also object to Dunkirk's ability to burn both coal and
natural gas, potentially allowing it to revert back to the dirtier fuel if
natural gas prices rise. But David Gaier, an NRG spokesperson, said that
converting the plant to gas requires staffing and equipment changes that
cannot be easily reversed. "It's not like you can switch back and forth.
That's simply not possible," he said. "You'd have to, in a sense, convert

这里的床位数是staffed床位数，也就是有医护人员的床位，所以什么居家隔离和连护
士都没有的养老院就别拿出来现眼了。
其次是床位数不代表对抗新冠的能力，新冠病人需要的是负压病房，隔离病房，你没可
能把新冠病人和器官移植病人放在一个房间里，甚至都不能放在有中央空调的大楼里。
所以，实际可用的床位数要远小于现有的床位数，除非你其他病人一概不看了，但这样
死的人会更多。这也是为什么中国建立火神山和方舱医院，隔离开治疗，避免影响其他
重症病人。
最后，呼吸机中国也有很多，但是ECMO中国只有几百台，美国也不多，到2019年6月为
止，美国只有200多台ECMO，而且上了ECMO以后的治疗费用究竟CDC会不会负担也还是未
知数，官方的回答含糊其辞。
总体上，中国的抗疫是比美国强的，这是事实，民主自由也不可能是万能药，集权体制
