Among many new coronavirus variants, Omickron is a well-deserved "variable monster". Since appearing in the world for a year, multiple submutations have evolved. After changing their vests every one or two months, it can be said to be endless.
Recently, according to researchers' observations, another new Omickron variant BQ.1 and its sub-series BQ.1.1 may soon explode in Germany and Europe. But unlike in the past, this submutation has won a rather thrilling nickname - "Hellhound" due to its high contagion!
"Hellhound" is currently raging in France and the United States.
In the Chinese Moments, a large number of Chinese people have shared their infection experiences on social media.
Someone pointed out that This wave of virus is too rapid. I haven't been hit in the epidemic for more than two years, but I quickly fell in front of XBB, and my whole family was infected.
In addition, some Chinese infected people said that XXB's "has short incubation period and symptoms soon", and XBB seems to have invisible ability, "and "can't even measure it in the self-test box."
But don’t be nervous in advance! Because so far, there is no evidence that this latest variant of virus can trigger a more severe course of disease than infection with the BA.4 or BA.5 variant. "More people may be reinfected, but like the early wave of Omickron infections, the course of the disease will not become more severe." "Although BQ.1.1 can achieve partial immune escape, it can never completely escape immunity ."
