新西兰这波疫情高峰过了吗？93%的感染是由于这一变种_我的网站

一 | Renee 综合据英文《先驱报》报道，新西兰近期超过九成的新冠感染是由一种高度突变的Omicron变异引起的。 Advertise with us 新西兰环境科学研究所(ESR)最新监测显示，在通过废水采样检测到的新冠病毒中，JN.1变种占93%，在医院测序样本中占四分之三。新冠建模师Michael Plank教授说，自从Omicron的BA.5分支在2022年年中造成冬季中期的那波疫情以来，还没有一个单一的变体造成过如此大的影响。 Geneva, Oct 11 (UNI) Cascading global crises have left 54 countries — home to more than half of the world’s poorest people — in dire need of debt relief, the UN said on Tuesday.

In a new report, the United Nations Development Programme warned that dozens of developing nations were facing a rapidly deepening debt crisis and that "the risks of inaction are dire".

UNDP said without immediate relief, at least 54 countries would see rising poverty levels, and "desperately needed investments in climate adaptation and mitigation will not happen".

That was worrisome since the affected countries were "among the most climate-vulnerable in the world".

The agency’s report, published ahead of meetings of International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and also of G20 finance ministers in Washington, highlighted the need for swift action.

But despite repeated warnings, "little has happened so far, and the risks have been growing," UNDP chief Achim Steiner told reporters in Geneva.

"That crisis is intensifying and threatening to spill over into an entrenched development crisis across dozens of countries across the world."

The poor, indebted countries are facing converging economic pressures and many find it impossible to pay back their debt or access new financing.

The UN agency said debt troubles had been brewing in many of the affected countries long before the Covid-19 pandemic hit.

According to data, 46 of the 54 countries had amassed public debt totalling $782 billion in 2020, the report said.

Argentina, Ukraine and Venezuela alone account for more than a third of that amount.

The situation is deteriorating rapidly, with 19 of the developing countries now effectively shut out of the lending market — 10 more than at the start of the year.

A third of all the developing economies have meanwhile seen their debt labelled as being "substantial risk, extremely speculative or default," UNDP’s chief economist George Gray Molina told Geo news.

The countries at the most immediate risk are Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Tunisia, Chad and Zambia, he said.

Steiner, who has repeatedly raised the alarm about the crisis, voiced hope the international community might finally recognise that action is in everyone’s shared interest.

"Prevention is better than treatment and certainly... much, much cheaper than having to deal with a global recession," he said.

UNI GNK。 JN.1首次在新西兰出现是去年10月，截至12月初，JN.1约占十分之一的病例，到12月底至少占一半的病例，然后成为驱动新西兰夏季病例激增的主要变体。

二 | JN.1是新冠病Omicron BA.2.86变异株的第二代亚分支，也是BA.2.86变异株中具有较强传播优势的一个亚分支。据此前报道，JN.1这一变种9月在美国最先被检测出来，随后迅速成为美国等国最常见的病毒株。去年12月底，世界卫生组织正式将其确定为“受关注变种”。 JN.1的一个“后代”——JN.1.4，已经在新西兰和海外被检测到，但预计不会带来严重影响。

三 | Plank说，“尽管这是18个月来我们第一次遇到一种不同的病毒，但它对健康的影响并不像BA.5那样大。虽然它显然具有增长优势和一定程度的逃逸免疫特性，但它不会像我们过去看到的变异那样引起重症。” 他表示，出现这种差异的部分原因是自2022年以来感染该病毒的人数增加了。

五 | 卫生部最新更新显示，截至上周日午夜，住院病例数为245例，约为1月中旬的一半。针对Omicron毒株的最新加强剂已经在其他地方使用，但尚未在新西兰上市。不过专家表示，目前的疫苗在预防重症方面仍然有效。相关阅读：疫情通报：过去一周新西兰新增5555例 1月30日疫情通报：过去一周新西兰新增5757例疫情通报：过去一周新西兰新增7019例，夏季疫情见顶了吗？疫情通报：病例数上升！过去一周新西兰新增8040例疫情通报：过去一周新西兰新增6558例，44人死亡新变种来了！新西兰第五波疫情或持续数月注：本文为编译/原创，欢迎转发分享；但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者，本网将追究其相关法律责任。使用授权请联系[email protected]。 chineseherald.co.nz All Rights Reserved 版权所有 (责编：twinkle) 来源 - 相关内容 2024首个QV房价指数：房市在“缓慢但坚定的复苏” AT无视成本大把花钱：一个交通项目建28个人行横道火车频繁取消，奥克兰市长怒斥交通部门大佬：都是借口！还能65岁退休吗？以后领新西兰退休金要先收入测试？疫情通报：过去一周新西兰新增5878例总理宣布：本月下旬废除前政府的这项法案！政府部长喊话领失业补贴的人：不要躺平，否则…… 您有一份邀请函待接收！国会议员邀您共庆龙年。
