Global distribution map of confirmed cases🔽🔽🔽
The epidemic situation in Europe has become more severe again. In November, the number of confirmed cases increased sharply, and the latest variant of the virus Omicron (B.1.1.529) quickly spread in the region.
Which parties in Europe have new cases of mutated virus?
Why is there a new wave of epidemics?
How serious is it?
What are the implications of comparing the number of vaccinations, the number of confirmed cases, and the number of deaths in different regions?
The latest variant of the virus Omicron was discovered earlier in South Africa, involving multiple mutations including the spike protein that affects the ability of the virus to infect cells and spread.
The mutated virus was first discovered in Botswana, Africa, and imported cases from South Africa have been recorded earlier in Hong Kong. As of November 28, seven European countries including Belgium, Czech Republic, Italy, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom have all detected new mutated virus cases. .
In fact, according to statistics from the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of confirmed diagnoses in Europe began to rise as early as late September this year. By the first week of November, 1.99 million confirmed cases were notified throughout Europe, which is close to the 2.03 million confirmed cases in the first week of November last year. .
Among them, Russia recorded more than 320,000 confirmed cases in one week, and the United Kingdom and Germany also added more than 216,000 and 174,000 new cases respectively.
In Hong Kong recently, a total of three crew members returning from Frankfurt, Germany, were diagnosed with imported cases of the variant virus after they arrived in Hong Kong and entered the community.
As for the high number of confirmed diagnoses in the UK earlier, it has recently dropped.
Some Western European countries, such as the Netherlands and Belgium, have recently seen a rapid increase in the number of confirmed cases. They have been listed by the European Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as one of the 10 countries with more serious crises. 3 doses of vaccines and other measures.
The remaining eight countries with severe crises include Greece, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and many Eastern European countries.
Areas with high vaccination rates have low death rates
In Europe’s worst-hit areas (countries with a higher number of confirmed cases per 100,000 population in the upper week of the figure below), in addition to Eastern European countries with lower vaccinations such as Croatia and Slovenia, many are also located in Western Europe with higher vaccinations Countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, etc. mentioned above are mainly affected by the "coexistence with the virus" strategy adopted by many places and the prevalence of mutant virus strains.
It is worth noting that countries with lower vaccination rates during this epidemic have significantly higher confirmed deaths, including Romania and Bulgaria, where vaccination rates are less than 100 doses per 100 population. Last week there were more than 100 deaths per million population. People in the UK, France, Spain and other places with higher vaccination rates can limit the number of confirmed deaths per million people to double digits or even single digits.
