Every Sunday, I launch a poll on "COVID infections" to count the percentage of COVID infections among my readership.
The data as of 19 o'clock on December 4 is shown in the figure below.
The proportion of new infections in 7 days last week, the final value was 331%；
The proportion of new infections in 7 days this week, the final value is 34%, a bit higher than last week, maintaining an upward trend.
However, the current increase in the proportion of new infections in 7 days is not large, and it has not yet entered an exponentially rising outbreak period.
But if you look at the 7-day new suspected infection, that is, there are some related symptoms, but the proportion of people who are not sure what they are infected is on an exponential upward trend, and it has also exceeded the peak in May.
This is not surprising, because it is now the peak period of concentrated outbreaks of various infectious diseases, and there are many influenza and mycoplasma pneumoniae, and the symptoms produced are relatively similar to the new crown.
Let's take a look at the data from Beijing CDC.
From November 20 to November 26, 2023, a total of 72,475 cases of 16 notifiable infectious diseases were reported in Beijing.
The top 5 diseases with the highest number of reported cases are: epidemic and novel coronavirus infection.
As you can see from the chart above, Beijing has clearly entered the peak of the outbreak of infectious diseases, and the peak has surpassed the peak of the flu wave in March.
As the new crown of Beijing disease control is still in the second place, the new crown epidemic is likely to be on the rise, but the current concentrated outbreak is mainly influenza.
Some people may say that Mycoplasma pneumoniae is not visible in the top five of Beijing's disease control.
This is because Mycoplasma pneumoniae is not classified as a Class B or C infectious disease, so it has not been reported.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is also a relatively common infectious disease, but it is very infectious.
is such a weak chicken infectious disease that was originally very contagious, but this year it has killed all sides like this.
But there are still people who open their eyes and talk nonsense, talk about immunity debts, and put the pot of declining population immunity on wearing masks. It is the unwillingness to face up to the infection of the new crown virus that has led to a decline in human immunity, so that these original weak chicken viruses have the opportunity to kill all sides.
I wrote a long article yesterday to expose the harmfulness of the spread of "immune debt", so I won't repeat it here.
Judging from the current situation, in fact, the peak period of this wave of infectious disease outbreaks is very long.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae has been circulating for two months, and then the last half month is the outbreak of influenza, and it is estimated that it will enter the new crown outbreak period at the end of December.
In fact, this prolongs the time of the entire peak of infectious diseases and increases the difficulty of protection.
But in reality, there is no way but to try to prevent it.
If you don't take precautions at all, you may be infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae last month, flu this month, and new crown next month.
Even if you don't encounter a small probability of severe illness, but only a mild fever, it is very sinful.
We still try not to let our bodies be tormented back and forth by such various infectious diseases.
At present, we are not only in the midst of a concentrated outbreak of various infectious diseases, but the whole world is in a concentrated outbreak of various infectious diseases.
Moreover, Europe and the United States had a concentrated outbreak of various infectious diseases at the end of last year, and this winter, there are still concentrated outbreaks of various infectious diseases.
The Swedish health department said that there is an epidemic of "white lung syndrome", which is more scary, but in fact, it is all kinds of respiratory infectious diseases, which have become likely to cause pneumonia, and the local health department simply makes a "white lung syndrome", as if a new virus has appeared.
Sweden is the first country to implement the policy of lying flat, and the epidemic prevention efforts are very low, and there is no so-called immunization debt at all.
As a result, Sweden is now also suffering from pneumonia epidemics caused by various respiratory infections.
The so-called immunization debt is completely inconsistent with the current global facts, but many people still choose to turn a blind eye when advocating immunization debt.
The U.S. is also currently seeing a surge in pneumonia cases in children, 80% of which are mainly caused by RSV infection.
Yesterday, I also posted the outpatient attendance rate of respiratory diseases in each year announced by the CDC in the United States.
It can be seen that last year and this year, respiratory infectious diseases in the United States have broken out far beyond the normal level of previous years.
In addition, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which is currently ravaging us, is actually showing an outbreak around the world.
According to the French Public Health Agency, the incidence of pneumonia in children under 15 years of age increased by 36% during the week of November 13 to 19, 2023.
Let's also say here that some ** in Europe and the United States shamefully render Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a common disease in previous years, as a new "mysterious disease", in fact, the so-called "white lung syndrome" above, most likely is Mycoplasma pneumoniae, but these ** do not talk about Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and make a new word to fool the general public into thinking that it is a heart disease.
Even some time ago, the WHO expressed "concern" about our current situation of pneumonia in children, and after that, there was a misleading statement that Mycoplasma pneumoniae was reported in Europe and the United States, deliberately exaggerating it as a new disease.
There are even some European and American **, who say that it is as if Mycoplasma pneumoniae was transmitted from us, ignoring facts and science.
The National Health Commission also said yesterday that the current epidemic of acute respiratory diseases are all caused by known pathogens, and no new infectious diseases have been found.
In fact, I have said many times that this year, everyone generally feels that the flu and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, which were common infectious diseases in the past, have become more severe, and in terms of macro data, this is indeed the case.
This is because most people around the world have been widely infected with the new coronavirus, and the overall immunity of the population has decreased, which makes these common infectious diseases more dangerous.
It's not these common infectious diseases that have changed, it's our body's immunity that has changed.
The article was also posted yesterday, published in the authoritative journal Nature on January 13, 2022, with the title "Immune dysfunction persists for 8 months after the first mild to moderate new coronavirus infection".
There are a lot of studies abroad on the damage of the new crown virus to the human immune system, and it is not that I came with my mouth open, or that I am scary.
It's just that this kind of immune damage can be recovered for most people, and we just feel that our body will be weak for a while.
But if we can't avoid repeated infections in a short period of time and keep the immune system in this state of depletion for a long time, then it is naturally easier to be infected with other infectious diseases and it is easier to magnify the harm of other infectious diseases.
That's why I've always told you to try to extend the interval between two infections to at least 9 months.
In this way, our body's immune system can recover.
We don't do personal protection to never get infected, that's unrealistic.
Our aim is to get as few infections as possible and as late as possible.
Therefore, if we are infected with the new crown, we should also keep a normal mind, and don't feel like the sky is falling after being infected once.
Our war against the new crown virus also requires preparation for a protracted war.
In fact, after the new crown virus is infected, it is easier to be infected with other infectious diseases, and the harm of other infectious diseases is magnified, which is only one of the many harms of the new coronavirus.
This is not to mention long COVID, and after being infected with the new crown, it will increase the incidence of various cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which is supported by a lot of research, not that I will open my mouth.
It is foreseeable that mankind has entered an era of long-term chronic diseases, and all kinds of chronic diseases and infectious diseases, amplified by the new coronavirus, will make human beings as a whole more susceptible to illness.
In this process, global pharmaceutical and medical capital may be the biggest beneficiary.
That's why so many people are advocating immune debt, to fool people into not doing protection, to make people sick, and I am extremely angry about this kind of behavior.
That's why I'm under tremendous pressure and insist on sending this poll every Sunday to analyze things related to the epidemic.
I can only do my best to call on everyone to do a good job of personal protection in the current epidemic era to help everyone protect their health.
I know that I can't change the environment if I don't talk much.
But I don't have the luxury of changing the environment, as long as it can help people who are willing to read my articles.
