Raging COVID infections in China a result of multiple factors, not merely the relaxation of policy: former CDC chief epidemiologist

The Omicron variant dominant in northern parts of China is the BF.7 mutant while in southern parts of China BA5.1 is dominant. Both variants have the highest transmission rate. 

It has become unrealistic to stop the spread of COVID-19 while in winter, when the cold temperature creates a favorable environment for the virus to survive, Zeng noted. 

In addition, while exposed to the virus, antibody levels in many people have dropped significantly as the vaccines they previously received have lost effect. 



DJ...also testing if the GT-link is a problem ....

While EU countries are scheduled to meet on Wednesday on a coordinated response to the epidemic situation in China, about a dozen countries have imposed fresh travel regulations on travelers from China, which are considered as "temporary, unnecessary and lacking scientific basis," some Chinese official and experts said. 

They also believed that the new regulations are "just a waste of time and resources," and some excessive measures are unacceptable, which are political manipulation and discriminatory. 

In response to those moves, Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that the country will take corresponding measures in response to varying situations based on the principle of reciprocity.

DJ, 








Now we have 595 sequences uploaded from China since 12/25/2022 Mostly BA.5.2 and BF.7s.. but also contains BA.2.75*, BQ* and recombinants including XBC* & XBB*


but also,








In the US its share doubled every ~8 days during the past 2.5 months and is now estimated to contribute more than 30% of cases. Across the globe XBB.1.5 is still comparably rare (<5%).

DJ...a lot of "twitter" asking why no checks on ALL air travel ? Some indications point to Chinese variants mostly came from Europe..."we" did not find them because we stopped most testing/sequencing...

In my view-just like with vaccines- "the west" is playing political games-in fact making the pandemic(s) only worse.

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
