In summary, we should be alerted of the situation in China & should support them to control. We should also do our homework so, in case, a new wave starts, it can be managed effectively. We are not in 2019, but end of 2022 and we have the tools & knowledge to manage the pandemic

A small thread on:

1) Why we are alerted but not too concerned of the global effects of the massive wave of COVID-19 in China,
2) Why the proposed restrictions from Italy & USA are not likely to be effective.
3) Some simple global interventions for 2023.

China decided to stop its Zero-COVID intervention. The intervention worked well in the past two years and allowed time for the world and China to develop vaccines, diagnostics and therapeutics. Now, there is fear that the COVID-19 tsunami in China will detail the global efforts.
The wave of COVID-19 infections in China seems to be enormous, some of the epidemiological modelling and news point to millions of daily infections and up to 9,000 daily deaths. A really sad statistic to end 2022 and we feel for the Chinese families and communities.

At present, we know that Omicron dominates all of the global infections and that the China wave (from limited data) is dominated by two sub-lineages of Omicron BA.5 (BA.5.2 and BF.7). More info on variants in China in the front page of @GISAID ...
