Herd immunity Sweden being hard hit by yet another surge: Swedes calls to medical hotline unanswered by the operator due to 'too many callers' and being hung up on:
Drs are warning of the new surge likely driven by the #XBB116 #sars3 #ArcturusCovid strain

Swedes are reporting that their non-emergency medical helpline: 1177 is refusing to take calls: with callers having the phone put down on them after the call not being answered:

A Swedish citizen says that when you call the number:
'A voice says something like "too many people are calling now" and then hangs up'
They report after calling the hotline to get medical advice due to a family accident and needing to asses whether they needed medical...

#xbb116 #ARCTURUSCOVID #sars3 : really starting to kick off again now and hearing about loads of people coming down with it: is starting to spread in schools again:

horrorLots of horrible stories coming in: one family of four: 88-year-old gran come down with stroke a few weeks ago after a birthday party for her grandson: the first symptom was stroke: fever 40: AT AGE 88
New Study by leading virus experts at Sato Lab shows why #XBB116 #SARS3 #ARCTURUSCOVID is such a beast:
-extreme growth advantage over similar strains
-'profound immune evasion'
-unusual mutations in spike
-high affinity to bind to receptors

-high affinity to bind to receptors
The researchers examined the XBB116 strain to see why it had become dominant so quickly in India:
They found that the strain has a number of advantages for viral fitness and infectivity relative to current competing similar strains in the XBB family (SARS3 STRAINS)

As we have previously LONG AGO established the new strains are so diverse from the original Sars2 that they are basically a new Sars: they are as different from Sars2 as Sars1 is from Sars2:
'Wear a mask—save yourself!' Covid expert Prof. Dr.
Prof. Dr. Sanjeev Bagai warned during a recent interview about the current #xbb116 #ArcturusCovid #SARS3 & about 'new kinds of mutations' seen in new strains that are spawning rapidly such as XB2.3 and rising deaths twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

'My advice to everyone is please wear a simple mask
well fitting n95 mask don't use it as a fashion statement wear it to protect yourself even a mild infection asymptomatic infection of XBB can cause
long-term organ damage and immune dysfunction lasting up to eight months..

...there is no point in taking a risk—wear a mask—save yourself! The Dr said on Indian news station, Times of India, about the current surge.
Further, he warned about the rapid mutating XBB116 which he says is already spawning out yet more mutated strains at a rapid pace:

New India #XBB116 #SARS3 #ARCTURUSCOVID strain INDIA STUDY SHOWS The death ratio by age group: 1 in 4 deaths are in under 40s according to the study:
12.5 % are in kids under 9:

for those who don't know how science works you take a representative sample for these kinds of workings out: from that it can be used to estimate a population level effect. So don't ask me why there's only 8 deaths on that chart — that's why: it's the proportion and distribution… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The usual nonsense is being wheeled about the new Indian #xbb116 #sars3 #ArcturusCovid strain being 'no more severe' than any other strain: our time machine here shows us that's exactly what they said about Delta as well, while bodies piled high In India:
B.1.617 is Delta… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
B.1.617 is Delta… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
In May 2021 as Delta spread widely through India causing 3 million plus deaths (most of which went completely unrecorded by official records) the public was being told there was no evidence of the strain being more severe: scmp.com/news/asia/sout…
Delta variant was first discovered in October 2020: many months before it turned into the global beast it would become:
