#SARSCoV2 variant update /3

BQ.1* sub variant family continues to be majority of new cases in rest of the country especially in the South East and South

#BQ1

#SARSCoV2 variant update /2

BQ.1* sub variant family continues to be majority of new cases in rest of the country especially in the South East, along the Mississippi and the Rockies

#BQ1

According to #ZOE, 112,799 new cases, which indicates the winter wave is decreasing rapidly.
However, there is a potential for a second winter wave, as 2 new variants (#BQ1 & #BA275) have been identified through sequencing and are currently spreading.

#China, Pang Xinghuo, Deputy Director of #Beijing CDC and Member of the National Expert Group on New Coronavirus Pneumonia: ''During the monitoring of variant strains in the local #population, the city has not found the prevalence of #XBB, #BQ1 and other strains. #BF7 and #BA52, a subclade of BA.5, were still the dominant strains among the prevailing strains.'', https://news.sina.com.cn/c/2023-01-06/doc-imxzfymz2059134.shtml

''According to latest data released by the #US #CDC, in week ending Dec. 31, 2022, #XBB15 accounted for 40.5% of #covid19 cases in the US, almost doubling from 21.7% in the previous week. Due to its extremely high "immune escape" ability, XBB.1.5 has quickly replaced #BQ11 and #BQ1 strains, becoming the number one epidemic strain in the United States''. SINA: https://news.sina.com.cn/w/2023-01-02/doc-imxyuyam6043523.shtml

''#BQ1 and #XBB are new #subvariants of #Omicron which have become the dominant strains in some overseas countries and regions for their increased #transmissibility and immune escape capacity. ''

#China, #Shanghai has detected the #Omicron #subvariants #BQ1 and #XBB that have been prevailing in some overseas countries but experts said 2 strains were found in imported cases placed under closed-loop management which has not caused local #transmission, saying there is no need to hoard Montmorillonite {?} powder to relieve #diarrhea that can be caused by subvariant #XBB15. GT: https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202301/1283058.shtml

''According to the study, 30 #Omicron strains that have been identified globally were measured in more than 300 randomly selected viral #WGS from #patients in #Shanghai, including mainly #BF7, #BA52, and the recently emerged #BQ1 and #XBB.'', https://journal.hep.com.cn/fmd/EN/10.1007/s11684-022-0981-7

''Xu Wenbo, head of the National Institute for Viral Disease Control and Prevention with the #China #CDC, also said that in the last three months, China has detected 130 #subvariants of #Omicron, such as #BF7, #BQ1 and #XBB entering the country, media reported on Thursday.'', https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202212/1282939.shtml

''No #genomic #mutation was found in these #subvariants, which were all imported, according to Xu. In December, a total of 31 #Omicron subvariants were found to have been imported into #China, including #BQ1, #XBB and other subvariants that spread rapidly overseas, said Xu.''

They used logic & math with the #understanding that #SARS2 #Covid #reproductiveNumber is #approximately #R18
#reinfection #XBB #XB #BQ1 #etc

I miss #2020 R2.6
even without a #vaccine the #contagiousness of #current #variants is #incomprehensible

Scary thing is #practically nobody understands this thing is now at least 4x more #contagious than #Delta plus #Winter2021 we still wore masks
