''According to latest data released by the #US #CDC, in week ending Dec. 31, 2022, #XBB15 accounted for 40.5% of #covid19 cases in the US, almost doubling from 21.7% in the previous week. Due to its extremely high "immune escape" ability, XBB.1.5 has quickly replaced #BQ11 and #BQ1 strains, becoming the number one epidemic strain in the United States''.

''#BQ1 and #XBB are new #subvariants of #Omicron which have become the dominant strains in some overseas countries and regions for their increased #transmissibility and immune escape capacity. ''

#China, #Shanghai has detected the #Omicron #subvariants #BQ1 and #XBB that have been prevailing in some overseas countries but experts said 2 strains were found in imported cases placed under closed-loop management which has not caused local #transmission, saying there is no need to hoard Montmorillonite {?} powder to relieve #diarrhea that can be caused by subvariant #XBB15.
