WHO 'really concerned' about COVID situation with 'intense transmission in several parts of the world'

It was originally detected in October 2022 and has now been identified in more than 25 countries, including the UK.

China's recent COVID-19 outbreak is predominantly led by the Omicron subvariants BA.5.2 and BF.7, which together account for 97.5% of all local infections. Dr Mike Ryan, the WHO's emergencies director, has said China's COVID data is not giving an accurate picture of the situation there and underrepresents the number of hospitalisations and deaths from the disease.

Last month, China narrowed its definition for classifying deaths as COVID-related, choosing only to count those involving pneumonia or respiratory failure.The WHO says deaths should be attributed to COVID if they result from a"clinically compatible illness" in a patient with a probable or confirmed infection - and no other unrelated cause of death is involved such as trauma.

It’s almost like locking people away diminishes their immunity. Who could have imagined….

More and More Propaganda

Looks like their hospitals are nearly as overwhelmed as the NHS. Nearly…….

Start watching it look closely look at back grounds , people wake up!!!! This is fake . It's old propaganda

Set up scene .... Chinese propaganda

Lockdowns don't work. The best chance of surviving Covid is suffer through it and tge body build its immunity. All Lockdowns fo is delay the inevitable. After a while numbers will drop. You can lockdown people for 5 years, the moment you ease it the breakout will occur.

They should have stuck with their zero covid policy. See where the woke brigade has gotten you🤨

More propaganda

Do Chinese gov. really want their people to suffer like this? Zero-COVID strategy is useless!!

Somethings going on over there that they’re not telling us throughout the world. There’s another type of new variant virus that’s being spread around and it’s not good.

Yawn....

this video is of 2020 research it first

Wait till the latent effects start to hit

An attempt at showing their control, let’s not all but into this BS…

According to haalvsh, at least 114 Iranian Baloch protesters have been detained in Zahedan during the last four days! We demand the international community and human rights organizations be their voice. MahsaAmini IranRevolution ...

The mullahs' regime is arresting political activists in Zahedan in the silence of the media. The silence of the international community regarding the violation of human rights by the mullahs' regime in Iran is not acceptable. MahsaAmini IranRevolution --

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Don’t they know the Tory Government says the pandemic is over so why are they still talking about it! Keep up WHO you would think you would have the most updated data from the World Beating political party!

i do not give a toss

Do you not mean Bill Gates is x

Bring on the lockdowns. I could do with hibernating through the rest of winter. I need to recharge after the BS of the last 3 years, together with the last 12 years of Tory rule.

The WHO needs to be held accountable for their role in the Wuhan Virus being hushed up.

Who gives a fuck

WHO?

And immune escape so look forward to catching this one as well.

Plz do put us back in lockdown, I could do with a rest from work after having to put up with dick head customers over the Christmas season..

Next joke! Nice bit of distraction tactics from the cost of living crisis!

🥱

An R0 up to 18. Fortunately, it isn't as deadly as earlier variants. Plus it will help with immunity.

And a new news cycle begins!

Just treat covid like flu, get on with life without any restrictions, the World economy can't afford more Lockdowns

Sounds like an iPhone update 😂

Yawn

Yup keep'em coming

Not interested one bit

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The more transmissible the less symptoms.

Here we go, get the PPE and masks out of storage…they’ve started with this crock of shit again.

La OMS un fraude, ahora un nuevo psicoterror, ya basta.

I'll never believe anything they say, ever again.

Most people are trying to cope with the cost of living crisis instead of COVID19 . After Boris the liar drank, boozed and partied his fat ass through lockdown - there can never be any public support for anti COVID measures again.

OMG!! RUN AWAY!! RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAY!!

Of course it is 🤣 🤣 🤣

Genome-Wide Pleiotropy Study Identifies Association of PDGFB with Age-Related Macular Degeneration and COVID-19 Infection OutcomesAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) has been implicated as a risk factor for severe consequences from COVID-19. We evaluated the genetic architecture shared between AMD and COVID-19 (critical illness, hospitalization, and infections) using analyses of genetic correlations and pleiotropy (i.e., cross-phenotype meta-analysis) of AMD (n=33,976) and COVID-19 (n ≥ 1,388,342) and subsequent analyses including expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL), differential gene expression, and Mendelian randomization (MR). We observed a significant genetic correlation between AMD and COVID-19 infection (rG=0.10, p=0.02) and identified novel genome-wide significant associations near PDGFB (best SNP: rs130651; p=2.4 × 10−8) in the pleiotropy analysis of the two diseases. The disease-risk allele of rs130651 was significantly associated with increased gene expression levels of PDGFB in multiple tissues (best eQTL p=1.8 × 10−11 in whole blood) and immune cells (best eQTL p=7.1 × 10−20 in T-cells). PDGFB expression was observed to be higher in AMD cases than AMD controls {fold change (FC)=1.02; p=0.067}, as well as in the peak COVID-19 symptom stage (11–20 days after the symptom onset) compared to early/progressive stage (0–10 days) among COVID-19 patients over age 40 (FC=2.17; p=0.03) and age 50 (FC=2.15; p=0.04). Our MR analysis found that the liability of AMD risk derived from complement system dysfunction {OR (95% CI); hospitalization=1.02 (1.01–1.03), infection=1.02 (1.01–1.03) and increased levels of serum cytokine PDGF-BB {β (95% CI); critical illness=0.07 (0.02–0.11)} are significantly associated with COVID-19 outcomes. Our study demonstrated that the liability of AMD is associated with an increased risk of COVID-19, and PDGFB may be responsible for the severe COVID-19 outcomes among AMD patients.

Why do some people develop persistent lung sequelae after severe COVID-19?Clinical presentation following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ranges from mild self-limiting illness to severe respiratory failure. Many studies have analyzed the early acute phases of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19), but few focused on the longer-term sequelae following infection.

Underlying genetic cause for MIS-C complications after COVID-19 identifiedA recent Science journal study determined the underlying cause of MIS-C related to SARS-CoV-2 in some children. It hypothesized that monogenic inborn errors of immunity (IEI) is the primary reason for this condition. Identifying these inborn errors is expected to help elucidate the disease's cellular, molecular, and immunological basis.
