Covid strain dubbed 'Nightmare Variant' doubled cases in days by 'beating immunity'
20.10.2022 - 12:27 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A rapidly spreading Covid strain has been dubbed the Nightmare Variant after it was found to double infections in a matter of days.
The mutant strain formally known as XBB is said to be one of a 'slew' of new variants been shown to easily evade immunity from vaccines and infections. The strain has been detected in 17 countries in Asia and Europe, with a handful of cases in the US.
Nicknamed the Nightmare Variant by some media in Asia, because of its rapid spread, experts have said there are no signs it causes more serious illness, although it appears resistant to treatments, Wales Online reported.
UC Berkeley infectious disease expert John Swartzberg told the San Francisco Chronicle : "We are seeing a slew of new variants that are using a similar approach to survive - they are finding ways to evade the way we get immunity from vaccines and previous infection with changes on the spike protein."
He added: "XBB is no different from the others."
It comes as concerns grow in the US about newly detected Omicron sub-variants BQ.1 and BA1.1 that could drive another winter surge.
XBB was first found in India in August and has since been found in Bangladesh, Japan, Singapore and at least 13 more countries - including Australia and Denmark. It has also been found in Hong Kong.
Singapore Ministry of Health said XBB went from being responsible for 22% of cases to being responsible for 54% of cases in one week. Some 79% of people in Singapore are fully vaccinated.
Singapore saw the number of new cases of Covid double from 4,719 on 10 October to 11,732 on October 11, according to Johns Hopkins' Coronavirus Resource Center.
Singapore health minister Ong Ye Kung said the country is likely to see 15,000 daily cases on average by

Biden admin still pushing COVID vaccine mandate for military: It's unlawful and hurts national security
On national television, Biden administration spokesperson John Kirby mounted a feeble attempt to explain the president’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for the military. Kirby, a retired Navy admiral, had no acceptable answers when pressed about the administration’s "folly" and the perilous impact the mandate is already having on our national security. Remarkably, Kirby perpetuated the narrative that the military’s mandate must remain in place while admitting with a straight face that he was quarantined for 10 days due to his current bout with COVID-19, despite being vaccinated and double boosted.
