On January 2, the news that XBB.1.5, which claims to have the strongest "immune escape" ability, has become the "number one epidemic strain" in the United States has attracted widespread attention recently.
· XBB strain has been detected in Shanghai
Jin Dongyan, a professor at the School of Biomedical Sciences of the University of Hong Kong, said that XBB.1.5 has not caused significant changes in the number of infections, hospitalizations, and deaths in the United States. Except that the immune escape ability has been enhanced to a certain extent, the changes in other aspects are relatively small.
· No significant change in pathogenicity
A screenshot circulated on the Internet stated that the XBB.1.5 strain "mainly attacks the cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and gastrointestinal tract" and can cause diarrhea, which has led to the shortage of montmorillonite powder in recent days.
In this regard, Jin Dongyan also said that although diarrhea is a common symptom of new crown infection, "it is nonsense to focus on the cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and gastrointestinal tract."
· Will it cause superinfection?
Wang Xinyu, deputy director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, said that the virus caused by XBB, BQ.1, and BQ.1.1 may spread faster than before.
If you encounter these strains, the probability of reinfection mainly depends on two aspects:
- One is how much overlap the re-encountered strains had with BA.5 and BF.7. If the virus keeps mutating and the cross-protection effect is reduced, it may cause infection.
- The second is to look at the level of human autoantibodies.
There is usually an interval between secondary infections, and the probability of reinfection with the same strain is extremely low. Even if it is infected, there will be no obvious symptoms, and it is generally mild.

According to the news on January 2, Tong Zhaohui, director of the Beijing Institute of Respiratory Diseases, interpreted the question about the special medicine for the new crown:
· There is no cure for viral infection. The so-called "small molecule specific drugs" on the market are mainly used to inhibit virus replication, control the development of the disease, and reduce the risk of severe disease.
· However, these drugs cannot eradicate the virus, and antiviral drugs are only suitable for certain groups of people.
· Pay attention to adverse reactions and side effects, and use it under the guidance of a professional physician.
According to news on January 2, some netizens recently said that when booking a hotel in Qunar, the three mobile devices displayed different prices under the same date and room type.
In response, Qunar responded that this is because the higher the membership level, the lower the price:
"There are three mobile phones in the video. The higher the Qunar membership level, the lower the price. The price of 487 yuan is a diamond member, 520 yuan is an ordinary member, and 877 yuan is an unlogged offer. The page clearly prompts to log in to unlock more preferential prices."
