More than a week on, still seems to be mostly rumours.

What's the betting they just double down on Zero Covid, yet again?

So it looks very like the recent unrest has rattled them.

Its pretty simple IMO - the Chinese leadership bought into the myth that their earlier Zero Covid had been a terrific success, and proof of their political acumen and virility. Vaccines were for the "weak".

You do wonder how those still peddling ZC in the West will spin all this.

Indeed, but most of the US deaths from Covid were some time ago.

This still happening *now* is not good.

The latter point is surely the most fundamental.

Over time, Covid variants have *tended* to become less serious for *most* people.

As was widely predicted at the start, and is consistent with many previous epidemic episodes.

Haven't most people stopped paying more than (at best) lip service to mask mandates anyway?

Um yes, I know.

You might be better off telling the online cult that still supports it that, though.

Meanwhile, the Zero Covid grifters continue to grift.

I'm still getting my regular free booster fairly soon - what about others on here?

So far I haven't heard an official reccommendation. I also once read that too many COVID vaccinations could actually weaken your immune system. Four-times vaxxed and two-timed infected myself. I suppose I have sufficient antibodies, if it is generally recommended to get another shot in the fall I guess I would do it.

I presume that in practice means "too many in too short a timescale"?

Mine have been pretty spread out so I imagine another soon would be OK.

Some chatter in the usual circles about a "scary" new Covid variant.

Any reliable non-alarmist accounts of this?

Cumbria mentioned as a "hotspot" there, but I'm not aware of anybody getting it locally.
