BREAKING! COVID-19 News: SARS-CoV-2 Variant Cluster Onslaught In Japan Is Now Worse Than China! 231,000 COVID-19 Cases, 498 Deaths In Last 24 Hours!
COVID-19 News- Japan - XBF - BF.7 -BF.5  Jan 06, 2023  1 year, 2 months, 1 week, 6 days, 8 hours, 42 minutes ago
COVID-19 News: while the world is more focused on COVID-19 catastrophe unfolding China, worried about the American variant XBB.1.5 and also concerned about the collapse of the NHS in UK due to the COVID-19 surge…what is brewing in Japan that seems to be showing no respite has been largely ignored by the Western mainstream media and also virologist and variant trackers!


 
Since late November, Japan has been faced with a onslaught of a cluster of a variety of new SARS-CoV-2 variants and despite the country having one of the highest vaccination and boostered rates, infections and reinfection rates are skyrocketing in the country of about 123 million people. But since mid-December, not only has hospitalization rates and mortality rates increased, increasing disease severity especially among the fully vaccinated and otherwise healthy young adults are becoming a common occurrence. Interestingly, the older Japanese are simply contracting mild symptom initially upon infection but dying suddenly due to heart failures creating the suspicion that some of the new variants circulating in Japan could be exhibiting enhanced tropism for the heart!

In the last 24 hours, despite low testing, more than 231,000 new daily cases of COVID-19 cases were reported and also about 498 new COVID-19 deaths were reported in Japan.

In the month of December 2022 alone, more than 7,688 Japanese were reported to have died from COVID-19.

However, Japanese researchers are claiming the actual figure could be as high as 4-fold as reporting protocols for COVID-19 deaths were changed and also preliminary analysis of excess deaths for the month of December showed not only exponential increases but also certain abnormalities.

Data that has not been updated yet shows that Japan hit record hospitalization rates and ICU admissions in December 2022.

Since December 14th< ;/sup> 2022 till today Japan is facing an acute shortage of hospital beds and queues for hospital beds and access to ER departments are now so long with waiting times stretching as long as 2 to 3 days!

However, Japanese media and COVID-19 News outlets have been restricted from reporting on the actual situations in the country and strangely international news agencies like Reuters and AP are not reporting about the situation there possibly due to conflicts of interests as Japan has been a highly vaccinated country with Pfizer’s and Moderna’s products!
 
There are a number of variants and sub-lineages in Japan at play in the cluster that is currently causing the onslaught in Japan including new BF.7 and BF.5 sub-lineages with unique variants, BN.1 variants, the recombinant XBF variant and also new BQ.1, BQ..1.1, BA.2.75 and BA.5.2.1 sub-lineages with their own unique mutations.

What is interesting however is that most of these new variants and sub-lineages are also spotting mutations either the ORF7, ORF8 or ORF9 proteins.
 
Pending research updates by qualified variant experts, Thailand Medical News will provide more updates on the new variants circulating in Japan.
 
However, those interested should also pay attention to the XBF recombinant variant that is also circulating in Japan.

Australia too is experiencing a rise in infections with XBF being a predominant variant there.
 
Readers should take note that despite whatever governments are saying or what the mainstream media are concealing, COVID-19 cases are rising literally everywhere, ….China, United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Canada, Finland, Norway, Germany, Brazil, South Korea, Hong Kong etc. Keep a track on the excess death rates.
 
I am literally depressed with the data and reports that is coming in and also the modeling projections and also the extent of coverups and attempts to suppress critical COVID-19 data and also shocked to also find out that many prominent virologists, variant trackers and COVID-19 researchers are now also under the payroll of those controlling the COVID-19 narratives and are only releasing partial data and withholding lots of critical information and even research data.
The next few months and years are really going to be bad!
