EU agency warns perfectly timed for omicron summer wave coming

...

Two virulent omikron strains will cause a summer wave of infections and hospitalizations, warns the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). The message is perfectly timed. Last week, international leaders at a global corona summit already announced that the pandemic is far from over as far as they are concerned.

In an ominous report, ECDC health officials warned late last week that they identified two strains of omikron, BA.4 and BA.5, as variants of concern. The omikron variants could lead to a sharp increase in cases and hospitalizations across the continent in the coming months, the ECDC says.

Bypass immune protection

The predominance of strains BA.4 and BA.5 is likely due to their ability to evade immune protection from prior infection and/or vaccination, the EU agency admits in the report. people to continue to be vaccinated, and especially encourages people over 60 and other vulnerable groups to get a new shot. But vaccination and boosting remains a priority for all age groups, the agency did not fail to mention in the report .

More pressure on hospitals

Countries should also remain vigilant for the presence of the affected variants among the infections, the ECDC believes, which also states that there is currently no evidence of a change in severity for BA.4/BA.5 compared to previous levels. omikron strains. Due to the high contagiousness, the variants will nevertheless lead to more pressure on hospitals this summer, is the pessimistic expectation of the health agency.

Perfect timing

The explicit warning that an omikron summer wave is on the way comes just after the Global COVID-19 Summit, where leaders of countries at the initiative of the United States met virtually last week to find solutions to vaccinate the world, save lives now. and build better health protection.

The emergence and spread of new variants, such as omikron, have reinforced the need for a strategy aimed at keeping COVID-19 under control worldwide, a White House statement said in a statement announcing the summit. in which one of the objectives is described as getting shots into arms. Together, we can mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and protect those most at risk with vaccinations, tests and treatments, actions to minimize disruption to routine health services, and support for the multilateral ACT-Accelerator mechanism.  The latter is a reference to a World Health Organization (WHO) program to fund vaccines and treatments.

Pandemic not over yet

At the meeting, world leaders shouted out loud that as far as they are concerned, the pandemic really is not over yet.

Lockdown back in the picture

The agenda in the Netherlands is also very synchronized with international organizations and politicians, as appears from the warning today that the Netherlands may have to go into lockdown again next autumn, because society is not well prepared for a new corona wave. Two and a half years into the pandemic, healthcare capacity remains the biggest bottleneck. Everyone seems to have fallen asleep, experts warn.

Warning Dr Robert Malone

Incidentally, the Global COVID-19 Summit is quite different from the Global COVID-19 Summit, a counter-reaction to the Global COVID-19 Summit where Dr. Robert Malone last week, on behalf of 17,000 colleagues, made a very urgent and emotional appeal to the world to stop immediately administering experimental genetic COVID-19 vaccinations.
