Coronavirus Taiwan - Specific Developments November-December 2022

[afterspivak]

We have now reportedly passed South Korea (which had heaps of cases, early and often) in deaths per capita.

The US and UK (as well as Canada and other nations) still fared far worse than us, for what it’s worth.

102 newly confirmed cases of Omicron subtype variant strains, 81 local cases and 21 imported cases

Release date: 2022-11-21

Summary

The Central Epidemic Command Center announced today (21) that 102 new confirmed cases of Omicron subtype variant strains were confirmed in Taiwan, including 81 local cases (80 cases of BA.5, 1 case of BA.2) and 21 cases of overseas imports (10 Case BA.5, 9 cases BA.2.75, 1 case XBB, 1 case BQ.1). As of now (2022) in Taiwan, the following confirmed cases of Omicron subtype variants imported from overseas have been detected: 10 cases of XBB, 4 cases of BF.7, 7 cases of BQ.1, 1,236 cases of BA.5, BA. 4 is 104 cases, BA.2.75 is 77 cases, BA.2 is 1,028 cases; the other cumulative local confirmed cases are 1 case XBB, BF.7 is 1 case, BQ.1 is 2 cases, BA.5 is 1,265 cases, BA.4 is 5 cases, BA.2 is 2,529 cases, and there are no local confirmed cases of BA.2.75.

The command center pointed out that there were 80 new local cases of BA.5, accounting for about 98.8% of all 81 cases that were sequenced last week. They were 41 males and 39 females, ranging in age from less than 5 years old to over 90 years old. The distribution is 40 cases in the north, 8 cases in the center, 31 cases in the south, and 1 case in the east. The confirmed date is between October 10 and November 10 this year.

The command center stated that for the 21 cases of BA.5, BA.2.75, XBB, and BQ.1 imported from China and abroad, 10 cases were male and 11 were female, with ages ranging from less than 10 years old to over 50 years old. From September 19th to November 9th this year. Among them, 10 cases of BA.5 were detected from Japan (3 cases), the United States (2 cases), China, Israel, South Korea, Thailand (1 case each), and the other 1 case was under investigation; 9 cases of BA2.75 were from Indonesia (3 cases), Japan, Thailand (2 cases each), Malaysia (1 case), and another case under investigation; 1 XBB case imported from Indonesia; 1 BQ.1 case imported from Canada.

According to the command center, the World Health Organization (WHO) pointed out on November 16 this year that more than 390 Omicron sub-branch mutant strains have been found in the world. Currently, BA.5 mutant strains account for about 73.2%, which is still the mainstream strain in the world. Continuous mutation, the BQ.1 mutant strain derived from it spreads rapidly, the number of affected countries and the number of cases continue to increase, accounting for 16.2%; the proportion of BA.2.75 and XBB mutant strains derived from the BA.2 mutant strain continues to increase, accounting for about 5.4% and 2.0% respectively, need to continue to closely monitor the evolution and prevalence of international virus strains. In addition, WHO stated on October 27 this year that compared with other Omicron main epidemic strains, the disease severity of BQ.1 did not increase, but the new mutation of BQ.1 may have an immune escape advantage, so there may be a higher duplication chance of infection. The protective effect of existing vaccines (including original strains and next-generation vaccines) on BQ.1 infection may be reduced, but the protective effect on severe disease should not be significantly affected.

The command center emphasized that according to existing research, vaccination with next-generation vaccine supplements is still protective against BA.5 and other mutant strains, and can reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalization or death caused by infection with COVID-19. People still need to implement personal epidemic prevention measures such as frequent hand washing and wearing masks, and complete vaccination as soon as possible to gain protection. The command center will continue the type inspection and sequencing ratio of variant strains of overseas and local cases, and focus on the gene sequencing of respiratory samples from severe and reinfected cases of COVID-19 children with encephalitis.

The COVID-19 death rate has been trending to a level on par with the influenza mortality rate in Taiwan, partly due to widespread vaccination and the use of antiviral drugs, National Taiwan University public health professor Tony Chen (陳秀熙) said on a live-streaming session on YouTube Wednesday (Nov. 23).

He noted that during the outbreak of the Alpha variant, the mortality rates hovered between 3% and 7%, which were much higher than the 0.34% influenza mortality rate. However, during the Omicron variant outbreak, the COVID-19 death rate went below 0.3%.

Tony Chen is back!

Very good news however that the death rate continues to fall, even as unvaccinated elderly men continue to be taken down by this virus, as shown nearly every day in @MalcolmReynolds 's daily updates.

8 unvaccinated men died yesterday.
8 unvaccinated women.

[finley]

Deaths in the 75-79 age group, according to the Dept. of Household Registration, are 57.7% male. In the CDC spreadsheet, they’re … um, 57.7% male.

In 2019, the average age at death in Taiwan (all-cause mortality) was 71 for men and 76 for women. The average age at death in the CDC spreadsheet (people testing positive for COVID at death) is 72 for men and 76 for women. The average age at death with cancer was 69 in 2019. The average age at death with (cancer+COVID) was 69.

These observations are in line with other countries: people dying “of” COVID were dying at or beyond the expected age-at-death.

In short, there is no apparent statistical difference between the deaths occurring “with COVID” and those occuring in the general population. Those CDC “COVID deaths” are quite obviously just routine deaths, and I’m sure the CECC know that. They can, of course, be completely confident that the general public will take their pronouncements at face value.
