Do you think it’s strange? After we announced the liberalization, the United States suddenly announced the restart of COVID-19 testing. What is the reason for this?
This decision was officially announced on December 15th, U.S. time. It roughly means that every household in the United States and every address will restart COVID-19 testing. The White House will send everyone antigen test kits. What is even more unexpected is that after three years of strict self-prevention and relaxation, the United States immediately turned its back and closed the door to China.
Let’s first look at The US Embassy issued a notice that except for some planned visa services in Shanghai, including all visa services at the embassies in Beijing, Wuhan and other places, all immigration services have been cancelled.
The German Embassy also announced through its official website that the consul office in the visa section will no longer open to from now until January 6, 2023.
In addition, the United States has also restarted a mask policy that is stricter than before. In the past few weeks, the number of cases and hospitalizations of the new coronavirus in the United States suddenly began to rise sharply, and both the number of confirmed cases and the number of deaths were increasing sharply.
The latest data shows that the number of deaths from COVID-19 in the United States every day has increased to hundreds. The latest guidance issued by health officials and hospital executives in Washington, Los Angeles, requires residents to wear masks indoors. The reason given is to protect children and the elderly.
All kinds of changes, let’s think about it, does it have anything to do with China’s policy changes? Or is it related to the new strain of mutant Cerberus?
It is undeniable that the emergence of the new mutant strain Cerberus is rapidly encroaching on the territory of the previous Omicron . Cerberus's codenames are bq.1 and bq.1.1. Currently, The specific toxicity has not been announced yet, but if we compare the data on the newly confirmed cases discovered in the United States, the proportion of Cerberus has reached almost 40%. In other words, in just a few weeks, the new strain has swallowed up nearly half of the territory of Omicron.
Recently, the number of deaths from COVID-19 in the United States has increased by more than 50%. So is there a direct relationship between the emergence of the Cerberus strain and the restart of COVID-19 control in the United States? Of course we hope that this is just a seasonal and normal controlled livelihood, but think about it, do you think it is really just because winter has arrived that the United States can resume strict precautions? # epidemic##social news##social#
