Kong Fanyi expects BA.5 to become mainstream in Hong Kong, Hong Kong has a good immune barrier
Kong also pointed out that for the development of the epidemic in Hong Kong, he believes that BA.4/5 will become the mainstream, but in the fifth wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong, it is estimated that more than 4 million people were infected with the BA.2 virus, and the recovered patients are sufficiently immune to BA.4/5 BA.4/5 has strong infectivity, but weak destructive power, and the situation is close to influenza.
In addition, there has been a case of suspected secondary infection recently. He pointed out that even secondary infection will not cause a major outbreak. Because the symptoms of secondary infection are mild or even asymptomatic, serious illness or death should be very rare. The problem is the same even in residential care homes for the elderly, but it is mentioned that if the elderly are chronically ill, the condition may be more serious.
