Hospitalization ⬆️2x surging—but cases flat?? What’s going is testing has crashed and #COVID19 case numbers unreliable. ➡️Hospital and wastewater in MA don’t lie. Uncoupling—but in the WRONG WAY… opposite of last year. 📌Driven by #XBB15 strain. Don’t ignore the #Kraken. #MaskUp

3) Folks- im not being overly pessimistic — even the @WHO says #XBB15 is the most transmissible sub variant to date. Be careful. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
4) Here is how #XBB15 spread first started. It’s a Northeast US variant. Do not confuse it with #XBB, which is different and from Singapore.
5) here are reasons why #XBB15 should worry all of us. TLDR— it’s the worst of both worlds on many characteristics 👇
6) A lot of people warning about #XBB15 strain now. But just over Xmas, CDC didn’t report anything at all. They broke the promise to report early warnings. I had to hold them accountable. See thread below 👇

⚠️EXCESS DEATHS UP ⬆️26% in England & Wales—highest of 2022—2,982 more deaths recorded week before Xmas compared to 2015-19 average. For all 2022, >40k excess deaths. Some 🇬🇧hospitals have low/no portal oxygen. Yet—@10DowningStreet still pretends no crisis.

2) there is also an active denialism of all the #COVID deaths and COVID hospital staffing crisis. The UK NHS is deflecting to blame flu.

HT @drclairetaylor ?
3) 3) Is there a #COVID19 crisis in UK? Yes. @UKHSA warned parents about both high flu and COVID as well as scarlet fever (strep A). And it will likely keep increasing

Stunning—The @WHO officially now accuses China of “under-representing” the severity of its #COVID19 outbreak, underreporting hospitalizations & deaths, plus WHO also criticizes its “narrow” definition of Covid deaths—of suppressing deaths. It’s really bad.

2) “We continue to ask China for more rapid, regular, reliable data on hospitalizations and deaths, as well as more comprehensive, real-time viral sequencing,” WHO Director-General @DrTedros said at a media briefing in Geneva Wednesday.
3) “WHO is concerned about the risk to life in China and has reiterated the importance of vaccination, including booster doses, to protect against hospitalization, severe disease, and death,” he said.

NEW—WHO says #XBB15 “Detected in 29 countries—the most transmissible sub variant which has been detected yet. We are worried about it’s growth advantage… rapidly replacing circulating variant. We expect further waves around the 🌎” -@mvankerkhove #Kraken
2) At last, I’m glad the @WHO has acknowledged everything I have been warning about in my earlier #XBB15 threads. This is truly the worst variant currently worldwide. And it is very good at infecting cells (as acknowledged also in the video). And it will cause more waves. See🧵👇
3) Just how fast and far is the spread of #XBB15? It’s quite literally going almost everywhere. And incredibly fast. Almost akin to the first surge of Omicron last winter.

🌎Global spread in just days—Let’s be clear—the #XBB15 super variant is a US-origin variant from Northeast US. The @CDCgov is cowardly in refusing to admit it.

📺Watch the incredibly fast spread (animation by @Mike_Honey_). @CDCDirector needs to wake up.
2) My insider source leaked the horrific #XBB15 data to me—because they could not stand the @CDCgov DOING NOTHING BY SITTING ON THE DATA WITHOUT DISCLOSING IT TO ANYONE. ➡️CDC knew #XB115 was significantly >1% and surging for weeks. They did absolutely nothing to warn the public!
3) at the time, I didn’t know I had a first scoop on the #XBB15 hitting 40% of all #SARSCoV2 virus strains in the US. But then I realized nobody in DC or CDC was talking about it at all.

Many hospitals have run out of oxygen— or very low in 🇬🇧. Leaked emails to GP’s in some UK hospitals say hospital morgue also full. Emergency rooms overload causing up to 500 excess unnecessary deaths a week. But the 10 Downing St doesn’t admit any crisis.

2) 99 hour waits for hospital beds. Portable oxygen running out!

3) Tents need to be soon erected at hospitals.

📝Recap why #XBB15 (storming 🇺🇸&🇬🇧) is a super variant:

📍among most immunity-evasive ‘escape variants’ to date

📍one of the best variants for invading human cells via ACE2.

📍Spreads much faster than old XBB or BQ

📍Causes ⬆️hospitalizations wherever dominant (NY CT MA NJ)🧵 ImageImage
2) I called #XBB15 the “next big one” — because it’s pretty obvious now that it is. And the @CDCgov failed to warn for weeks that it is surging. It’s been over 1% (CDC’s own reporting guideline for public posting alert) for over 4 weeks—But it didn’t get reported until yesterday!
3) New York and New England has been the epicenter of #XBB15. In fact, XBB15 first emerged in New York of anywhere in the world. Talks of travel bans against China / testing only 🇨🇳 is discriminatory— XBB15 is the worst variant of the world right now. In fact- it’s a US variant.
