Some experts are urging people to mask up amid rising alarm over a new
Covid variant — and fears of a summer wave of infections.
The NB.1.8.1 strain is already thought to be driving a wave of
infections across China, Hong Kong and Thailand — along with upticks in >hospitalizations.
In the US, there have been fewer than 20 cases detected to date. But the >strain has been detected in travelers arriving in California, Washington >state, Virginia and New York City, raising fears it may be spreading
quickly.
Lab tests suggest the variant is more infectious than currently
circulating strains, which means it could lead to a spike in infections
and potentially hospital admissions.
In Hong Kong, officials are already urging people to mask up,
particularly while on public transport or in crowded places.
And in the US, chatter about masks is beginning to creep in. Dr Amy
Edwards, a pediatrician at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, >Ohio, told CBS News today that anyone who feels a 'little under the
weather' should 'wear a mask'.
Another expert calling for masks is Dr Melanie Matheu, an immunologist
from California who previously studied at the University of California,
San Francisco.
She told her 336,000 TikTok followers the US should brace for a 'summer
wave' worse than that from the previous year.

In China, data shows the proportion of severely ill respiratory patients
with Covid has jumped from 3.3 to 6.3 percent over the last month, while
the proportion of Chinese ER patients testing positive for the disease
has jumped from 7.5 to 16.2 percent.
Officials in Taiwan are also reporting a surge in Covid ER admissions,
with numbers rising 78 percent in a week over the seven days to May 3,
the latest data shows.
And in Hong Kong, the proportion of swabs testing positive for the virus
has now hit a 12-month high — at 13.66 percent of samples used.
Dr Edwards said: 'If you're a little under the weather, but well enough
to be out and about, wear a mask.'
Advising on other strategies to control the virus, she said: 'Good cough
and sneezing hygiene, good hand washing, staying home if you're not
feeling well to keep other people from catching what you've got.'
Dr Matheu added: 'My advice would be the same around these variants.
'Make sure you get your updated booster, wear a mask — especially if you
are vulnerable, high risk, live or work with anyone who is vulnerable or
high risk — and make sure there is good air circulation in your indoors
and areas where you work.'

Authorities in Hong Kong have already urged people to start wearing face >masks again amid concern over the new variant.
In a statement posted to the Hong Kong Department of Health's website, >officials said: 'High-risk persons (e.g. persons with underlying medical >conditions or persons who are immunocompromised) should wear surgical
masks when visiting public places.
'The general public should also wear a surgical mask when traveling on
public transport or staying in crowded places.
'When respiratory symptoms appear, one should wear a surgical mask,
consider avoiding going to work or school, avoid going to crowded places
and seek medical advice promptly.'
A spokeswoman for the CDC said the agency was 'aware' of the new
variant, but said few cases had been detected to date.
NB.1.8.1 was first detected in January this year and is thought to have >originated somewhere in Asia.
To date, it has now spread to 22 countries and a total of 518 cases have
been detected. There is no data on hospitalizations or deaths.
Scientists say, however, that the infection figures are likely a huge >underestimate — pointing out that many now do not test for Covid and
that government's have majorly scaled back their Covid variant
monitoring programs.
The proportion of cases caused by the variant is spiking globally, and
is up four-fold in the latest month with data available. It was behind
2.5 percent of all Covid cases globally at the start of April, but by
the end of the month, this had surged to 10.7 percent.
Travelers arriving in the US infected with the variant arrived between
April 22 and May 12 from the following countries: China, Japan, Vietnam, >South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, France, the Netherlands and Spain.
The variant has also been detected in Hawaii, Rhode Island and Ohio.

Does andrew's "definition" agree with scripture? Let's see in 1 John:

1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is

The variant has also been detected in Hawaii, Rhode Island and Ohio.
In the interim, we are 100% prepared/protected in the "full armor of
GOD" (Ephesians 6:11) which we put on as soon as we use Apostle Paul's
secret (Philippians 4:12). Though masking is less protective, it helps
us avoid the appearance of doing the evil of spreading airborne
pathogens while there are people getting sick because of not being
100% protected. It is written that we're to "abstain from **all**
appearance of doing evil" (1 Thessalonians 5:22 w/**emphasis**).
Meanwhile, the only *perfect* (Matt 5:47-8 ) way to eradicate the
COVID-19 virus, thereby saving lives, in the UK & elsewhere is by
rapidly (i.e. use the "Rapid COVID-19 Test" ) finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who among us are unwittingly
contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to
"convince it forward" (John 15:12) for them to call their doctor and self-quarantine per their doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic.
Thus, we're hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case
scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron,
Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations
combining via slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like "Deltamicron"
that may render current COVID vaccines/monoclonals/medicines/pills no
longer effective.
Indeed, I am wonderfully hungry ( https://groups.google.com/g/sci.med.cardiology/c/6ZoE95d-VKc/m/14vVZoyOBgAJ
) and hope you, Michael, also have a healthy appetite too.
So how are you ?
