Woman has been infected with COVID-19 4 times in two years!
In the face of the new crown, individual differences are also reflected. Some people are close contacts, but they have never been infected with the virus; and some people rarely go out, but the virus still comes to the door.
In the two years of the outbreak, some people have not been infected once, while others have been infected three or four times.
The girl I'm going to talk about today is named Sefana, 19 years old.
Sevana is a student, outside of class, she rarely attends parties, but actively works as a temporary worker to earn some pocket money. Usually, she also wears a mask and disinfects her hands in time.
But even though she thought the epidemic prevention measures were in place, she was still recruited, and it was four times in two years.
The first infection was in March 2020, and she speculated that she might have been recruited in a supermarket because she didn't go out much during that time, but stayed at home to take online classes.
She clearly felt that the symptoms were different from the regular flu: fever, cough, hallucinations at night, and loss of smell for several days. Because of her special anxiety, she felt very bad at that time, and felt that she could not stand up.
The second time was in August 2020, when the situation was even worse, and even difficulty breathing. She felt that the infection was caused by her failure to strictly adhere to the epidemic prevention measures, and many of her friends stopped wearing masks to go out to play at that time, and she was one of them.
The third time was in January 2021, when a teacher at the school was diagnosed, and many students in his class were subsequently diagnosed, including Sevana.
This time her symptoms were milder, but to her guilt, she passed the virus on to her father. She soon recovered, but her father had not recovered for a long time.
The fourth time was in December, and this time the symptoms were a little different: the nose was very uncomfortable, there was severe nasal congestion, and some migraines. For a few days, she completely lost her sense of smell.
According to her speculation, this time it may have been infected by her sister, who was diagnosed first, and all the family members were diagnosed one after another, genetically sequenced, and it was the Omiljun strain.
In response to this situation, Jean Daniel Lellief, director of the Infectious Diseases Department at the Henri Mondor Hospital in Créteil, said: "Cases of three or four infections are rare, but they do. With the arrival of the Olmiqueron strain, this will become more and more this situation. ”
Michel Cogneé, professor of immunology at the University of Rennes, said: "It's common to be infected with coronavirus repeatedly, it's like we catch a cold every winter. Normally, immunization lasts from 6 months to 1 year, so the possibility of some people being re-infected with an already once-in-one case is not ruled out. ”
"The severity of COVID-19 depends on the degree of infection in the lungs, not just problems with the upper respiratory tract. People who are physically vulnerable or who have sequelae after a previous infection may need extra attention, as severe illness may develop after infection. ”
Signs of a subsidence are already emerging
According to data released by the French Ministry of Health on Sunday night, the number of new infections fell in one week, with 296097 new cases reported on January 10 and 278129 new cases reported on January 16.
Arnaud Fontanet, an epidemiologist at the Institut Pasteur, a member of the scientific committee, said: "The worst is passing, and signs of the epidemic subsiding are already showing. According to him, the peak of infection in Ile-de-France and Corsica has passed, and soon, it will spread throughout the country.
In the French region, the number of positive cases per 100,000 inhabitants in a week fell from more than 4,100 to more than 3,700.
Nationally, the incidence of 20-29 years of age has declined significantly, the incidence of older persons has decreased by a small margin, while the incidence of minors and middle-aged people is still rising.
Normally, hospitals peak about a week or two later than the daily peak of new cases, but in the past five days, the number of patients in intensive care units has been decreasing, to less than 4,000 at present, compared with 6,000 in April last year.
The number of new critically ill patients per day in the past week has not exploded, as shown in the following figure:
Many data suggest that patients who are infected with the Aumechjong strain have a much lower risk of severe illness than Delta. Among unvaccinated patients in the 60-79 age group, 6% of those infected with delta strains became critically ill, compared with 2% of those infected with the Omiljung strain.
Currently, among all COVID-19 infections, the Aumecreon strain has dominated, according to the French Ministry of Public Health, as of January 13, 2022, after sequencing, the Omilcroon strain accounted for 94.6% and Delta accounted for 5.4%. In some areas, the proportion is even higher, such as in the Ile-de-France, where it even reaches almost 98 per cent.
In contrast, the total number of hospitalizations remained up (24,887 compared to 24,544 on Saturdays).
Hospitalizations are likely to continue to increase "for a few days," but their peak will also arrive "in the coming week or so." The Institut Pasteur expects daily hospitalizations in France to peak by the end of January.
When will this wave of outbreaks end?
Many people wonder, when will this wave of outbreaks led by the Olmikeron strain end? In response, Alain Fischer, chair of the Vaccine Strategy Steering Committee, expressed optimism: "From March onwards, there should be a period of calm".
"The reason is that the immune barrier will play a role: about 30 million French people are currently fully vaccinated, and by March this number could reach 45 million, not including those who have been immunized by infection." This will help to suppress the spread of the virus. ”
Philippe Froguel, a professor of medicine at The University of Lille and Imperial College London, made a similar point.
He said in an interview: "We can expect that by the end of February and the beginning of March, the epidemic will enter a trough period. ”
The latest data also seem to confirm this situation, although the number of new infections per day is still high, but the number of new infections is showing a slow downward trend.
In other European countries, people can also see the dawn of this wave of outbreaks. According to the WHO Regional Office for Europe, "the peak of this wave of outbreaks is likely to arrive (in Europe) around the third week of January, with varying degrees of advance or delay depending on the situation in each country." ”
Will this be the last wave of the pandemic?
We all want Aumechjong to be the end of covid-19, and the Minister of Health has the same desire. However, epidemiologist Vittoria Colizza believes that new mutant strains will emerge, and whether they will be milder or more dangerous is unknown.
"We are still in the pandemic phase and there is no evidence that this will be the last wave of the outbreak."
The Vaccine Pass bill was officially approved
On the afternoon of the 16th local time, the French National Assembly passed the "Vaccine Pass" bill with 215 votes in favor, 58 votes against and 7 abstentions.
In the final text, two of the most controversial provisions have been removed: provisions for identity checks of holders by agencies such as restaurants that introduce "vaccine passes" and administrative fines for companies that do not comply with telecommuting rules.
The French Left Socialist Party and the far left "France Does Not Yield" expressed dissatisfaction with such an outcome and said they would resort to the Constitutional Council.
According to the final text, the "vaccine pass" is mainly applicable to people aged 16 and over, who are free to decide whether or not to vaccinate against COVID-19 without parental consent.
Persons entering cultural and leisure establishments, catering establishments, expos, seminars, trade shows or travelling on cross-regional public transport must have a certificate of completion of COVID-19 vaccination (supplemented by a "booster needle" if necessary) or proof of recovery from COVID-19 infection within six months, and only those who travel to a healthcare facility can continue to rely on a negative COVID-19 test certificate.
Minors between the ages of 12 and 15 may continue to use "health passes" to access some premises in certain circumstances, and the Government must delineate the specific premises involved as soon as possible.
The "Vaccine Pass", after review by the Constitutional Council, is expected to be implemented this weekend.
According to a latest poll conducted by the French company Ifop for the Sunday newspaper, 58 percent of French people support the "vaccine pass" program, down 5 percentage points from the 63 percent support rate of the institute's January poll for LCI television.
Specifically, the "vaccine pass" has a support rate of 62% among men, 54% among women, 71% among people over 65 years of age, and 48% in the 18- to 24-year-old age group.
The poll results released on the 16th also showed that 59% of French people support mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for people aged 18 and over, compared with 68% in the November 2021 poll.

Roxana Maracineanu, the representative of the French Minister of Sport, said that the "vaccine pass" just passed will also apply to athletes from abroad, such as those who come to France to participate in competitions such as the European Cup football tournament or the French Open.
As a result, foreign athletes will not be able to enter The French venue to compete without vaccination. Djokovic waited and thought about it...
