Cases of Omicron variant XBB are mounting in China, forming a new wave expected to crest around 65 million cases a week by the end of June.
XBB, the “first major highly immune-evasive” group of COVID variants, “will sweep through China,” but the wave will be “largely invisible” due to low rates of testing and reporting, Raj Rajnarayanan, assistant dean of research and associate professor at the New York Institute of Technology campus in Jonesboro, Ark., and a top COVID-variant tracker, tells Fortune.
When it comes to XBB variants, “the rest of the world has seen them all.” But up until recently, “China hasn’t,” he says, adding that the country has a substantial population at high risk of severe outcomes from COVID due to age, immune status, and co-morbid conditions.
Increased circulation of XBB variants in China—and elsewhere—is likely to result in the evolution of new XBB variants, Rajnarayanan said. So far, XBB spawn have remained relatively innocuous for those not at increased risk of severe disease, according to the World Health Organization’s latest situation report, released Thursday.

So the only way to know if I'm sick is to get tested?
hmmmm ... now I'm worried ...
I better get a full body scan , I could have a broken arm, or a crushed skull ... or the heart break of psoriasis..!
The sad part is people really fall for this .
Take away 3,000 cable channels, disable all widescreens and "smart" phones, ban fast food, make it hard to get a new tatt or piercing, shut down internet porn, cancel all sports, shut all chain restaurants and send the price of eggs to $25.00 per dozen. maybe then - there will be the proper reaction against the leftist/globalist/RINO/ scum that pulled the last Covid scam off.
Other than that, sheep will continue going ba-ba-ba and doing what they're told to do. Because that's what sheep do.
😂True
The elites will use it as an opportunity to oppress us again.
No. One of the people at the W.H.O. meeting in Geneva, the meeting to force a one health control framework on the people of the planet, stated they needed a ‘dry run’ to test the powers they’re granting themselves.
I’m in Arizona. There’s no point in voting at all.
Everyone needs to be ready for the coming hype of a new variant to distract from the coming bank failures.

I like your reply. Sheep will be sheep.
OMICRON = MORONIC
Excellent digging. Thank you.
Didn’t China try to pull this SAME stunt 2-3 months ago? Predicted HUGE infection rate, then POOF the story disappeared.
China is just a Filthy Disease Infested Country. They need sterilized with Hell Fire.
Emergency!
There’s a cold spreading through China and most people who catch it don’t know it
Lockdown about 3 or 4 months before the 2024 election here.
“it’s for da chirrens.”
Sorry, not playing covid anymore.
Do you believe the Chinese Communist Party ?
There won’t be another lockdown, at least not in most states
I don’t think the governments of Tx,fl, ok, ar, mt etc would even consider it and if it did happen it would be widely ignored and a lot of politicians would lose their jobs in the next election
Plenty of legitimate things to worry about, this isn’t one of them
I guess we need to mask up and close everything down for 2 weeks. Just comply and be a good little lemming.
Right up until the slaughter.
