burst! The capital of the country has entered a state of emergency, and the prime minister has been

According to Worldometer statistics, there have been nearly 400 million confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the world, and nearly 1.95 million new confirmed cases worldwide in a single day. Among them, the United States, Russia, Germany, Turkey, and Japan are the five countries with the largest number of newly confirmed cases.

In the face of the severe epidemic situation, a regulation on vaccination in Canada has triggered large-scale demonstrations.

Recently, the city government of Ottawa, the capital of Canada, issued a statement that the city has entered a state of emergency, and the local demonstrations have posed a serious danger and threat to the safety of residents. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family left their home in Ottawa urgently due to safety concerns.

Ottawa Police Chief Sloly denounced the demonstrations as "a nationwide riot."

It is reported that the fuse of this out-of-control protest demonstration is that truck drivers entering Canada from the United States must be fully vaccinated against the new crown. And that could force 16,000 cross-border freight drivers out of work.

Subsequently, Canadian border truck drivers collectively drove to Ottawa to protest, demanding the cancellation of the mandatory vaccination, and the protest convoy was 70 kilometers long.

At present, the protests and demonstrations in Ottawa are still escalating. Most of the core areas have been occupied by demonstrators. about 2,000 vehicles and 5,000 people participated in the protests and demonstrations in Ottawa.

Canadian police said the protests were well-organized and partly funded by sympathizers in Canada's neighbor, the United States.

As for the United States, in the new wave of Omicron's attack, it almost lost its armor and armor. According to Worldometer statistics, the cumulative number of confirmed new coronary pneumonia cases in the United States exceeded 78.14 million, with more than 140,000 new confirmed cases in a single day.

Although the United States is still the country with the most severe epidemic situation in the world, and many medical systems have been overwhelmed, judging from the epidemic data of various states, there has been a turnaround.

According to epidemic data provided by the New York State Department of Health, the number of confirmed new crown cases in the state has droped by 92% from a peak of about 90,000 cases in a single day a few weeks ago, and the number of hospitalizations infected with the disease has also droped significantly.

Rhode Island has also recorded a 68% drop in cases over the past two weeks; Vermont has also recorded a 61% drop; Connecticut has recorded a 68% drop; and Massachusetts has recorded a 67% drop.

In response, the governor of the U.S. state of Iowa has called for an end to the new crown epidemic as a public health emergency, a move that will limit the state’s public health release of epidemic-related data. The state will stop declaring the coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency on February 15.

In addition, the governor of Delaware also announced on the 7th that he will gradually lift the mask mandate for Delaware schools and indoor public environments in the next two months.

It added that the mask mandate for public and private schools and child care facilities in grades 12 and younger will end on March 31, while Delaware's mask mandate for indoor public spaces will be lifted on February 11.

In addition to the relaxation of epidemic prevention policies in US states, Denmark, Norway, France, the United States, the Netherlands, Sweden, Ireland and other EU countries have cancelled comprehensive epidemic prevention measures.

Denmark has become the first EU country to lift all COVID-19 restrictions from February 1, local time. Anti-epidemic restrictions such as removing the requirement to wear masks, holding a "new crown pass" and limiting the opening hours of bars and restaurants are adopted.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gar Steller announced on February 1 that the government will ease restrictions on the prevention of the new crown virus. Restrictions on the number of people gathering in private residences have been lifted, and personnel capacity is no longer limited. Cinemas, theatres and other venues have lifted seat distance requirements. Travellers to Norway will no longer be required to take a coronavirus test upon arrival in Norway.

Starting from February 2, France has further eased epidemic restrictions as planned, no longer mandatory outdoor wearing of masks, no longer mandatory home office for at least three days a week, and lifted restrictions on the number of people in sports and cultural venues.

It is understood that the actions of the EU are not groundless. The WHO Regional Director for Europe, Hans Henri P. Kluge, announced that the epidemic in Europe is likely to end by March 2022.

In addition, greater self-confidence comes from Omicron. Although Omicron has swept the world at an unprecedented rate since its inception, several analyses believe that the confirmed cases of Omicron infection are about to peak.

Given the constant mutation of the new coronavirus, the World Health Organization (WHO) previously estimated that symptoms would not appear until about five to six days after infection. However, according to the British "Daily Mail" a few days ago, the preliminary research results of a human challenge experiment contradicted the conclusions stated by the WHO.

The content of the experiment: 36 healthy young people who were tested were deliberately infected with the new coronavirus in a London hospital. Symptoms appeared two days after exposure to the virus, the study found.

The coronavirus infection first appeared in the throat, and then symptoms peaked around day five, when virus levels were significantly higher in the nose.

Sixteen people in this group experienced mild to moderate cold-like symptoms, including a stuffy or runny nose, sneezing and sore throat, but none became seriously ill.

In addition, 13 infected volunteers temporarily lost their sense of smell, but within 90 days, all but three of the participants had regained their sense of smell. All three volunteers showed improvement after three months.

But nearly half of the 36 subjects were not infected, which the researchers say will help reveal why some people have been spared the coronavirus throughout the pandemic.

The study also found that peak levels of the virus were significantly higher in the noses of infected people than in the throats, suggesting that the risk of virus escaping from the nose may be greater than from the mouth. This highlights the need for people to use masks correctly.
