From HK:
We're going back to wearing masks.
Morning message from a friend who works at the hospital's health center.
The recent rampant coronavirus COVID-Omicron XBB is different from the past in that it is lethal and not easy to detect, so it is recommended that everyone wear masks.
1.The symptoms of the new COVID-Omicron XBB are:
i). No cough.
ii). No fever.
Most of the symptoms are as follows.
iii). Pain in the joints.
iv). Headaches.
v). Sore throat.
vi). Backache.
vii). Pneumonia.
viii). Appetite has decreased dramatically.
2。 In addition, COVID-Omicron XBB is 5 times more toxic than delta variants and has a higher mortality rate.
3. The symptoms will become extremely severe within a very short period of time, and there will also be changes in the absence of obvious symptoms.
4. So you have to be more careful.
* This variant was not found in the nasopharyngeal area, and in a relatively short period of time it directly affected the "window" of the lungs, and began to show signs of pneumonia.
5. A small number of patients infected with COVID-OmicronXBB are classified as fever-free and pain-free, but mild pneumonia is observed on x-rays. In addition, COVID-Omicron XBB testing cotton swabs through the nasal cavity showed a negative response, and examples of false negative tests during nasopharyngeal examinations are increasing. So this virus is very cunning. This, in turn, means that the virus spreads easily in the community, directly infecting people's lungs, causing viral pneumonia and causing acute respiratory difficulties. This explains why COVID-Omicron XBB has become so contagious and deadly. *
6. Avoid crowded places as much as possible, keep a distance of 1.5m even in open spaces, wear appropriate layers of masks, and wash your hands frequently when you don't cough or sneeze without symptoms.
This COVID-Omicron XBB "WAVE" is deadlier than the first COVID-19 pandemic.
* Therefore, prudent, diverse, and intensive precautionary measures must be taken.
