2.7 million people were infected in one week! The epidemic rebounded and the whole country was paralyzed!
After a slightly calm post-pandemic summer, the Demon King variant BA5 gradually conquered the world! Today, those who have been vaccinated and infected cannot escape the clutches of BA5. The global epidemic is rebounding, and the seventh wave of the epidemic has been killed!
A Chinese friend around the editor was infected with different covid-19 variants twice within a month, and the whole family fell ill. She thought that the new infection was BA5, so she could bypass the antibodies produced by the previous infection. It can be seen that BA5 has already sneaked in. Community!
Today, the British media released a desperate headline that the covid-19 may paralyze the United Kingdom again!
More than 2.7 million Britons were infected with the covid-19 last week, train companies cancelled shifts due to lack of staff; teachers in schools fell ill one by one, and children lost their teachers! There are fears that the whole of the UK will be paralyzed again because of the sick staff!
It's been too long since no one has released the data, and people have turned a blind eye to the soaring cases in front of them.
According to the ONS weekly infection survey by the UK's Office for National Statistics, in the week of June 29, 1 in 16 people in the hardest-hit areas of the UK were infected with the covid-19.
Frontline workers, including railway employees, teachers, doctors, nurses, have the highest infection rate and the highest absenteeism rate, and the medical committee even issued a "red alert"!
According to the statistical chart released by the Bureau of Statistics, it can be seen that the epidemic did slow down on May 21. However, just one month later, on June 25, the color of the British epidemic map suddenly turned dark. Purple!
Standing on the brink of paralysis time and time again, British health experts can't help but wonder, is coexistence with the virus really right?
On July 7, 232 covid-19 patients were lying on ventilator beds, a 10% increase from last week and the highest number in two months.
25 people are still killed by Covid-19 every day.
Professor Phil Banfield, chairman of the British Medical Association Council, said he hoped people would wear masks again in enclosed spaces!
"For the doctors who work tirelessly day in and day out, the covid-19 has never disappeared, because this new wave of epidemics has brought enormous pressure to the medical system."
"Patients need to wear masks again, ensure that medical staff have regular nucleic acid testing, and obtain personal protective equipment. These are all important measures. It is the government's responsibility to make the public fully aware of the risks of the covid-19!"
Demon King BA5 broke through the antibody and ignored immunity. The super transmission power is driving the rebound of the epidemic in various places.
Ontario, Canada, desperately announced on Wednesday (July 6) that the province has entered its seventh wave of the virus.

The number is up 22% from last week and 46% from 2 weeks ago.

It can be seen that BA5 has begun to capture Canada!
Even more frightening is that while the number of hospitalizations is soaring, hospitals are facing record staffing shortages!
Today, the number of positive cases that can be tested in Ontario every day is as high as 1,072. This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are countless ordinary people who have tested positive at home. The covid-19 cases are experiencing exponential growth!
B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix also said the province is in the midst of a third wave of Omicron outbreaks.
As a result, BC will launch a fourth dose in the fall, and this time with Pfizer's newly developed bivalent vaccine against Omicron!
Once Health Canada approves the new Pfizer Omicron bivalent vaccine, B.C. will start rolling it out in the fall.
The high temperature in summer can't stop the rebound of the covid-19, so in autumn and winter, what kind of tragic scene will be created by the devil variant BA5, the editor can't imagine.
Nowadays, there are colleagues who have been recruited in the company of editor and his family, and the father-in-law of editor is on duty to help colleagues who are sick, and there is no rest for long weekends.
If this continues, all walks of life will be paralyzed, and strikes will be a matter of time. Should we re-introduce the mask order? Something has to be done.
Bloomberg recently interviewed Japanese virologist Hitoshi Oshitani, a scientist who once helped Japan defeat SARS.
He told Bloomberg, "There is no such thing as a return to normal after the covid-19."
"Back to the pre-pandemic society? The pre-pandemic society was very, very fragile, with many risks, and infectious diseases were just one of them."
"There will be more infectious diseases in the world in the future, which means that it is imperative to reconsider the whole picture of tourism and how to change the way of life in the future!"
"Some people compare the covid-19 to the flu, which is completely nonsense."
"Influenza usually only occurs at certain times of the year, such as fall and spring. But Covid-19 is unpredictable! There is a high probability of a surge in cases now, and we don't know if the death rate will increase, let alone what will happen in winter. !"
"And the covid-19 virus is always changing, the flu does not evolve in this way, and now, almost every six months, a new more transmissible covid-19 variant appears."
The editor is also reluctant to sell anxiety, but it is true that people around us are infected one by one. In the face of the covid-19 variant with stronger transmission power, what can we do now?
