IT’S HERE!! The deadly XBB Covid variant! - YummyKing - 07-01-2023

Avoid Large crowded places

Singapore news:

Everyone is advised to wear a mask because the new COVID-Omicron XBB variant coronavirus is different, deadly and not easily detected properly:-  Symptoms of the XBB virus are as follows:
1. No cough.
2. No fever.
There will only be:     
3. Joint pain.
4. Headache.
5. Neck pain.
6. Upper back pain.
7. Pneumonia.
8. General loss of appetite. XBB is 5 times more toxic than Delta variant and has a higher mortality rate. It takes a shorter time for the condition to reach extreme severity, and sometimes there are no obvious symptoms. This strain of the virus is not found in the nasopharyngeal region, and it directly affects the lungs, the "windows," for a relatively short period of time. Nasal swab tests are generally negative for COVID-Omicron XBB, and false-negative cases of nasopharyngeal tests are increasing. This means the virus can spread in the community and directly infect lungs, leading to viral pneumonia, which in turn causes acute respiratory stress. XBB has become highly contagious, highly virulent and lethal. Avoid crowded places, keep a distance of 1.5m even in open spaces, wear a double-layer mask, wear a suitable mask, wash hands frequently even when everyone is asymptomatic (no coughing or sneezing). Don't keep this information to yourself, share as much as possible with other relatives and friends, especially yours.

Already detected in Singapore since September and SG Govt didn't do anything about it.

No public warning and yet, allowing international arrival to enter Singapore freely W/O restrictions.

So, why complaining about India mandatory testing?

Think they would not react as previous. 
base on worldmeter count, Sg current death is 1 death to 5 to 6K plus infected. 
That is 0.017%, lower than flu, though some may suffer long covid.

RE: IT’S HERE!! The deadly XBB Covid variant! - forum456 - 08-01-2023

any virus spread in India and China will spread in Singapore because Singapore imports the most foreigners from India and China.

after chinese new year, in Feb 2023, there will be a surge in local cases when singaporeans return from travel overesas.

It seems China is “hardworking”, but you are not hardworking enough.

Only come up with so few descriptors of China.

Please exercise creativity. It’s not banned outside of China.
