Coronavirus 2019-2020 thread (no unsubstantiated rumours!)

The 3rd dose is still the original vaccine, that is why you need updated vaccines as boosters that target the newer variants.
For faster vaccines development, you need local mRNA vaccines.

If China could eradicate covid, then maybe they should try eradicating the seasonal flu as well. Remember that, most people in China already got 2 doses of vaccines. So it was testing together with vaccination that had kept cases to very low levels.

Please share your choice of vaccine taken & how many doses are you looking forward to putting into your body. Thanks

The lock down in shenzhen is an indication of what will happen to other Chinese cities. They should vaccinate people with boosters, rather than just testing like crazy.

NOO, testing is absolutely important in containing Covid, without a good testing you are fighting blind. And once the virus expansion surpass the testing capabilities of a country is game over.
I do agree that they should start boosting like crazy.

Vaccination and boosting are best done when the cases are very low (the result of testing like crazy) since there's much less chance for people to get infected with the virus during the process of getting the vaccination itself, i.e. people literally need to get close together to get that jab.

@Tyler, you are propagating boosted vaccination like crazy! No one here is against vaccination. The last time we had an anti-vaxxer here was about a decade ago. So, you don't have to repeat it again and again. Stay calm, my boy!

Looks pretty good if your y axis goes to negative 60%

Free testing is over in the UK now, people are acting like the pandemic is over, with China being the only country in the world taking this virus seriously, the reason why Omicron has spread so quickly is not only because is more infectious but because people over the world really don't care anymore.
Reading of what happened in Jilin is obvious that they didn't take the rising numbers of cases seriously from the beginning.

Bbbuttt how about some MRnA vaccines?

Whatever vaccine is OK as long as you have 2 basic doses and a third one as booster. The 4th dose is luxury and sometimes not so necessary. Follow the local vaccination program is the best choice.

I think the real question is what is the plan?

By now I think it is generally agreed that there is no putting the genie back in the bottle. Even many scientists in China say there needs to be a way forward. To me, there is a sense of an aversion to total lockdown (save Shenzhen, obviously due to spillover), and the reason is to try to control the spread as much as possible, not actually eliminate it. That is my sense.

HK was a big failure in the way it is handled. Part of it has been the slow as molasses decision making of the top officials. If they were in the mainland, they would have been fired by now. Now everyone in the mainland knows what the worst case scenario is, and learning how to avoid it.

Are asymptomatic cases still being quarantined in quarantine centers in the mainland?
