With ba The 5 mutant has caused a pandemic in many countries around the world, and Zhang Boli, an academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, also issued a reminder in a recent interview.
Academician zhangboli reminded us to pay attention to ba 5 mutant strain, which has the strongest transmission ability at present
Academician zhangboli said that at present, studies have shown that ba 5 is the most powerful strain at present, and its immune escape ability and repeated infection ability are also stronger than those of the previous generation. Therefore, China must pay attention to the relevant strains and maintain a high degree of attention when such cases are found.
According to the report, the fact proves that academician zhangboli's reminder is very necessary and quite reasonable. Relevant news said that with ba At present, many countries, especially the United States, have vaguely set off a new round of epidemic peak.
The CDC released data that more than half of the US population lives in high-risk areas
Data released by the Centers for Disease Control and prevention in the United States recently showed that in the mutant strain of covid-19, the new subtype of Omicron ba Under the influence of 5, more than half of the population in the United States is now in the high-risk areas of epidemic transmission classified by the Centers for Disease Control and prevention of the United States. The CDC said that the epidemic situation in the United States this week has deteriorated significantly compared with the previous week.
The CDC stressed: "the number of areas classified as high-risk areas of the COVID-19 in the United States last week was 71% less than that of this week. At present, the number of areas belonging to high-risk areas of the epidemic has reached 1143 counties, and is still maintaining a trend of continuous proliferation and increase."
The situation in Los Angeles County is not optimistic, and the local government is considering restoring the "mandatory indoor mask order"
The report pointed out that while emphasizing that more than half of the people in the United States are in high-risk areas at present, and the epidemic situation in the United States is becoming increasingly pessimistic, the CDC also introduced the current epidemic situation in some areas of high-risk areas in the United States, such as Los Angeles County. It said that on average, more than 6400 people in Los Angeles County were diagnosed with covid-19 every day. Under the influence of the huge number of new cases every day, the local number of hospitalizations and deaths were also increasing.
"The increasing number of infections, hospitalizations and deaths makes the local hospitals in Los Angeles County under great pressure. Medical staff not only need to spend a lot of time caring for and treating patients, but also need to solve the shortage of medical materials and always consider whether the supply of medical resources is sufficient."
The report said that because the current epidemic prevention and control measures in the United States are extremely loose, and a large number of American people also maintain a "irrelevant" and quite indifferent attitude towards the epidemic, Los Angeles County is also considering whether to re implement the epidemic prevention and control measures to limit the spread of the virus.
Ferrer, director of the public health bureau of Los Angeles County, warned local people that if the current severe situation of the local epidemic continues, Los Angeles County will resume the implementation of the "indoor mask order" at the end of July. "If the current epidemic situation does not change, we will force everyone to wear masks indoors on July 29 until Los Angeles County is reduced to a medium risk area." Ferrer stressed.
