XBB.1.5 What is the strain?

On December 30, 2022 Eastern Time, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released data showing that an estimated 40.5% of new coronavirus infection cases in the United States that week were caused by the highly contagious Omicron subtype XBB.1.5 strain.

Li Tong, chief physician of the Department of Respiratory and Infectious Diseases at Beijing You'an Hospital, once told the People's Daily Health Client reporter, "XBB still belongs to the sub-branch of Omicron , and is a recombinant mutant strain of the mutant strain below BA.2, which is immune evasion." Its ability to escape has been enhanced, and its prevalence in some foreign areas has led to an increase in the number of infections. However, foreign data show that its pathogenicity is no different from previous strains. "

Is it necessary to stock up on montmorillonite powder ?

Li Dong once told a People's Daily Health Client reporter: Montmorillonite powder is a drug for treating diarrhea. Some people infected with the new coronavirus do have symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, which usually resolve on their own in 1 to 3 days. It has not been found that XBB1.5 is more likely to invade the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems and the digestive system. Drugs for treating respiratory tract infections and digestive tract infections can be prepared appropriately, but there is no need to hoard them in large quantities. "

Will the risk of reinfection with increase with the new strain?

"The immune evasion ability of the current XBB strain has been enhanced, which is different from the BA.5 popular in my country. After a period of time after infection with BA.5, the level of protection decreases. When encountering strains with strong immune evasion ability, the risk of reinfection will increase. However, reinfection mainly occurs in some people with low immunity. People with normal immune function have a relatively small risk of reinfection in a short period of time, and the symptoms after infection are usually milder than the first time. "Li Tong once said.
