Also, Japan and Singapore.

New cases in Singapore is shooting through the roof in the last 28 days and none of the western media is reporting?

I'm starting to wonder if this is really a data entry error on the Johns Hopkins site because the number of new cases in the country in the last 28 days is already more than the number of cases since the beginning of the pandemic?

That's scary. I read there's a subvariant of Omicron called BA.2. This variant is also called stealthy Omicron that it is invisible to fast test kit but can be found by PCR test.

@ansy1968 Today I read a Vietnamese news and they concern about the abuse of unauthorized medicine to treat Covid-19 which includes Lianhua Qingwen. The report claims that Lianhua contains Ephedra sinicaStapf. a substance used to produce methamphetamine which may leads to addiction. I do not come to any conclusion but just an alert to all of us to use Lianhua Qingwen to consider when decide to take the medicine.

You are also reading Viet news, so basically can conclude it's all BS.

It kind of is, but also a grain of truth

The USA banned ephedrine/ephedra after a rash of deaths, most notably an MLB pitcher.

However, it can really be traced to unsafe preparations of diet pills, high amounts of ephedra combined with high amounts of caffeine (a common diet pill ingredient) causing heart attacks.

Chinese medicine has been safely using it for a thousand years.

Funny that Vietnam news would publish this, probably once the domestic version is out it will magically be safe

Viets just like to bash anything Chinese then copy without fail and everything good again. Kinda like the Koreans in that sense.
