Fears heighten about a new mutant COVID strain as cases skyrocket in China
NY Post ^ | 12/29/2022 | Isabel Keane

Chinese health authorities are racing to catch new mutant COVID strains, as more than a third of Omicron variants detected in the crushing wave of infections slamming the country have resulted in larger outbreaks.

Over the past three months, China has detected over 130 sublineages of Omicron, including BF.7, a variant incredibly adept at evading immunity and believed to be behind the current surge in infections.

Xu Wenbo, head of the National Institute for Viral Disease Control and Prevention, said last week that China plans to track the virus centers around three city hospitals in each province. There, samples will be taken from sick walk-in patients as well as from patients who die.

Wenbo confirmed that 50 of the 130 omicron versions found in China had resulted in outbreaks.

Bingo. They found something with which they could terrify and control; they are not going to let go of it.

There will be new protocols for people traveling here from China... when what we REALLY need is a strict moratorium on any of them traveling here at all!!

I mean... how dumb do you have to be, to continue letting them in?

O M M O I R C O R N O I N C already came and went. This isn't about any real spread of a coronavirus, this is about the government in Communist China using COVID-1984 as a means to keep other countries from letting fleeing Chinese in. The government locked these people into buildings like prisoners for more than two years and these people are running away.

No need to blame Putin for anything, I agree.
Except.. for his deep-state commie war-mongering agenda aiming at invading and annexing sovereign nations.

I believe the more relevant date is mid-January, when the Big Guy supposedly will give a heads up if he plans to not renew the health state of emergency 90 days after that.

Here it is -

“The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be
continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the
basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the
past and no different past can ever have existed. In
principle the war effort is always planned to keep
society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by
the ruling group against its own subjects and its object
is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but
to keep the very structure of society intact.”

Covid 19 i4self was what? 99.4% survivable overall? Omicron which wasn’t “nearly as deadly” was what? 99.8% survivable overall? Now we have even weaker (but apparently more contagious) mutations of the virus which are even more survivable, and the world is going into panic mode again?

Everyone panic, there is a weaker strain of the virus out there that almost everyone will survive!

These Omicron variants without doubt make victims quite ill for three to five days but thankfully thus fat they do not appear to cause the pneumonitis and respiratory failure that killed so many with the initial delta variant in 2020. Yet to be demonstrated conclusively that the new vaccine said to be directed against Omicron is truly effective.
