The whole city should be locked down for one week, and mass-tested every 24 hours- same as how Shenzhen beat it twice.
This delay means Guangzhou is going to be Shanghai all over again, complete with unmitigated in-building aerosol spread and overwhelmed medical resources. https://t.co/mFqJ7IGhrC— Naomi Wu 机械妖姬 (@RealSexyCyborg) November 6, 2022

Beginning & end of a long, wonky thread:
against Omicron variants.
Conclusion: These data demonstrate an overall serological benefit of bivalent booster immunizations AND suggest that the bivalent mRNA booster vaccine broadens humoral immunity against ALL Omicron subvariants.

Malaysia’s Ministry of Health reported 2,521 new Covid-19 cases yesterday, for a cumulative reported total of 4,929,972 cases. It also reported eight deaths, for an adjusted cumulative total of 36,495 deaths – 0.74% of the cumulative reported total, 0.75% of resolved cases.
24,590 Covid-19 tests were conducted yesterday, with a positivity rate of 10%.
There were 34,534 active cases yesterday, 2,182 fewer than the day before. 1,695 were in hospital. 73 confirmed cases were in ICU; of these patients, 47 confirmed cases were on ventilators. Meanwhile, 4,695 more patients recovered, for a cumulative total of 4,858,943 patients recovered – 98.6% of the cumulative reported total.
2,519 new cases reported yesterday were local infections. Two new cases were imported.
The National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK) administered 2,588 doses of vaccine on 7th November: 55 first doses, 32 second doses, 270 first booster doses, and 2,231 second booster doses. The cumulative total is 72,416,274 doses administered: 28,110,451 first doses, 27,520,778 second doses, 16,254,431 first booster doses, and 530,614 second booster doses. 86.1% of the population have received their first dose, 84.3% their second dose, 49.8% their first booster dose, and 1.6% their second booster dose.

Biobot has not updated since late last week, showing COVID particles at or near 6 month lows both nationwide and in all 4 Census regions. As expected, the CDC’s variant update last Friday showed that BA.5 was down to 40% of all cases, with the alphabet soup of new variants descended from BA.2 and BA.5 making up the other 60%. BA.5 is particularly low, at 25% of all cases, in NY and NJ.
Confirmed cases remain higher than their recent low of 34,300 set 2.5 weeks ago, at 39,600, but the trend is more flat than rising. The same of true of hospitalizations, at 24,800 almost 2,000 above their recent lows. Deaths have continued to decline, at 316 close to a 6 month low, and only higher than about 2.5 months during the entire pandemic.
A regional breakout of confirmed cases shows an increase only in the Midwest, while the Northeast has the highest absolute level per capita. With the exception of the 6 New England States and WA, cases are not declining anywhere. Cases are rising in CO, NM, IN, KY, LA, MD, MO, NE, NV, OH, SD, UT, and WV. Cases are generally flat elsewhere.
It appears the winter wave is slowly beginning, but it is encouraging that it remains so low with the alphabet soup of new variants making up the majority of cases. This optimism is shared by DR. Eric Topol, who also notes that the new variants are not having a major impact, either in the US or globally.

Naomi Wu sure is a diligent spokeswoman for the regime. They must love her ability to reach into America.

COVID wastewater, case and admission levels have dropped off the edge of a table so abruptly around here over the past week that I’m getting suspicious about whether it’s real. My daughter has a nasty cold and has consistently tested negative on COVID rapid antigen tests. It’s all making me wonder whether there’s some COVID variant that took over here with a mutation that causes it to evade testing.
I know, I know, it’s not rational. Probably she just has a cold.

@Matt McIrvin: My grand-daughter had a nasty case of RSV last week. That is going around too.

Day 4. The good news is that I don’t have to wear an N-95 marklar in the house any more. The bad news is it because MrsMarklar and MarklarSon both now also have MARKLAR.

@Matt McIrvin: Ohio Dad has Covid right now. Took him two days of feeling sick to get a positive result and what he has looks exactly like a head cold. Lots of congestions and a cough but almost normal energy levels.
Me, I have flu symptoms: fatigue, aches, fever, headache, very mild cough. No nasal congestion, still can taste and smell, tested positive immediately.
It really is a chameleon of a disease.
Ohio Mom
@sab: Oh yeah, a friend’s family of four here in Cincinnati all had RSV last week. It is definitely going around in southwest Ohio.
sab
@Ohio Mom: Yikes, but yay for vaccines.

Well that’s good news. We’re as boosted as we can be, but we’ve got a couple short trips planned this season and everybody we know has gotten a breakthrough infection, even though they were fully boosted and careful.
So we’re kind of anticipating we might get one as well, but still trying to be careful.

I hope Guangzhou gets through it okay. The missus and I passed through, a couple days each way, to and from Melbourne from Amsterdam. China Southern had a great deal for Business Class. I’ve never been to Beijing or Shanghai, so can’t compare, but I really fell in love with the funkiness of the central districts. It was like ten Houstons or three São Paulos (but without the crime). We stayed in the old foreign legation area on the Pearl River. On the way back we stayed at the airport hotel that had a player piano in the lobby. Fun times.
Anyway, I can see the place being a little out of step with Xi Jinping Thought.
I finally got my bivalent booster 2-1/2 weeks before going to the Great Satan to ser friends and fam after five years, and feel a bit more secure for that, seeing as I’m in Texas the next two weeks.

@Princess: You are wrong about Naomi Wu. As a flamboyant lesbian w/ an Uyghur partner, she is most definitely not the CCP regime’s idea of an ideal spokesperson. She has vociferous in her criticism of the Chinese government’s failing in pandemic response: the badly mismanaged lockdown in Xi’an & Shanghai (& the continuing badly managed lockdowns in parts of Xinjiang, Zhengzhou, etc.), the failure to educate the population about the purpose of “Dynamic Zero COVID” & the cost of abandoning the policy, the failure to import foreign mRNA vaccines, the failure to implement regular boosting schedule, the failure to vaccine the vast majority of the most vulnerable, the failure to mandate N95/KN95 in face of Omicron, the failure to install upper room UVGI to mitigate indoor transmission at a massive scale (which Hong Kong is doing), the useless theater associated w/ some response measures such as spraying disinfectant everywhere, & the inhumane practices such as kill pets. W/in the limit imposed by being a high profile personality on Twitter/YouTube & whose content is certainly closely watched by the authorities, she has hinted at the human rights abuses in Xinjiang, though she emphasizes that the “bad things” happening there are not actually the “bad things” that Western MSM is focusing. I tend to agree w/ that.
Naomi Wu is a diligent spokeswoman for maintaining “Dynamic Zero COVID”. She fears the death toll & the socio-economic disruption from the exit wave, the widespread disruptions to the global supply chain as Chinese factory workers fall sick by the millions & need to quarantine, the collapse of the health care system under the strain, & the disability to millions due to repeated infections. I tend to agree w/ her on all of that.
However, it is clear to me that the Chinese government has shifted away from “Zero” as the totemic goal of COVID-19 response policy, & is now pursuing a suppression strategy to minimize transmission. Otherwise, the government would have ordered a nationwide lockdown a la spring 2020, given the current geographic spread of outbreaks. Instead, the central government is cajoling local authorities to end their wide area lockdowns, even as there remain community transmission. Quarantine for incoming visitors from overseas are being shortened.
The problem is that the suppression strategy requires walking a very precarious tightrope w/ Omicron, needing deft & prompt adjustments in restrictions, & not all local governments are equally capable of walking that tight rope. Locking down at the 1st sign of an outbreak, & stay locked down until the outbreak is eliminated, is a much simpler strategy for local authorities to execute. Furthermore, suppressing Omicron requires restrictions that are still quite damaging socio-economically.
Things will come to a head this winter. If the new suppression strategy fails, which is a real possibility, we can expect substantial deaths & suffering, & major disruptions to domestic & international logistics & supply chains.

@bjacques: Guangzhou has the glitzy modern side, but its heart & soul is the funky, unruly & unpretentious older districts. The food is fantastic!
The locals have their own nativist tendencies, though, just like the Shanghainese & Beijingers
Naomi Wu is correct that the only way to contain the outbreak there is through at least district wide lockdowns (& 1 week will not suffice). However, it seems China is done w/ lockdowns at that scale (except possibly Xinjiang).

I tried to schedule our 3rd booster on the CVS Website. I gave up and went to the store because the site asked if you needed the bivalent booster, and a couple of other medical terms like that, and I had no idea what to say. They helped me, so I’m going to try again today.
Ohio Mom
@Soprano2: Oh I hate the CVS vaccine sign-up website. Too much checking off irrelevant boxes, typing in small numbers I can hardly see off my insurance cards, too much information handed off to a corporation I don’t trust, and the next time you need them for a shot, you have to start all over again.
Much prefer to go to my PCP and have her make a few bucks but her office did not do Shingles or the Covid boosters.

@Matt McIrvin: I’ll add to the chorus of those who recently had a brush with RSV. My 12-year-old was very sick last week with a fever that hit 103 at point, a deep chesty cough and a very sore throat. We did 3 days of Covid tests, all negative (and he had Covid in June, caught in Europe, so I figured the odds were unlikely). At that point last week I hadn’t had my flu vaccine. But neither my husband nor myself ever showed symptoms, so RSV seems the most likely culprit. And RSV is really going around- five of his classmates were out with it (barely two weeks after a different four were out with Covid- oh, I feel for the teachers).
It’s unusual for older kids to have that severe a case of RSV, but kids have had 2 years in masks and with hybrid/remote learning; I think a lot of parents are going to feel like they’re living with a preschooler again this winter, bringing home every imaginable virus. Anyway, my kiddo recovered after 3 days (and even the cough cleared up after only an additional couple days), sending your daughter best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Nicole
@Soprano2:
@Ohio Mom:
I’ve done all of my boosters via online sign up at the pharmacy, and yeah, it’s a hassle. I’ve started ignoring anything that says, “optional” because they’re just going to ask for it next time again anyway. My pharmacy is 4 blocks from home, though, so it’s hard to beat the convenience once I’m through the hassle of on-line sign up. And I can buy a snack on my way out.
EmbraceYourInnerCrone
@Matt McIrvin: Lucira sells an at home PCR test but it’s fairly pricey (about 68$), results in 30 minutes to an hour. The at home antigen tests on the other hand, seem to not register COVID right away sometimes then if you test a couple days later, bam , positive. Of course the flu and RSV are circulating so…my grand kid got RSV followed almost immediately by COVID.

@Ohio Mom:
I’ve done the last 2 boosters at a CVS a half mile walk from me. I tried the website and yikes, what a waste of time and effort. However walking in is super easy, sign up takes a couple of minutes, the last one I had to wait a few minutes because they had to take it out of the freezer, get the shot, wait to see if anything goes wrong and then walk home. Whole thing including the walks took about 45 minutes, both times.
