Isn't that Falun Gong's propaganda rag? Yeah, I wouldn't take that too seriously.
The people that run CEO Rachel Jake's favorite live show, Shen Yun?
The very same!
I can't believe communism would do this to people. 
the Chinese regime
"bad country" epithet spotted, I will now completely disregard the entire article
Obviously no covid outbreak/wave is without risks, but I have had that particular "razor blade throat" symptom from strep throat more than once. And the hospitalization rates are in line with previous covid strains.
Omicron? The nomad soul?
It doesn't matter if this strain is really going around China or not. And if it's really from China or not
Even if it isn't, all that means is that it's about to be here soon and they're confessing this preemptively
It's already in Europe, along with a different variant that's starting to spread in NY. "razor blade-throat" is just covid doing what covid has done several years. The reporting isn't technically untrue, just sensationalized and bad.
I don't think past covid infectees reported that much throat pain though, it sounds like it's worse than previous strains
I remember people saying it felt like they swallowed broken glass when the omicron+ variants emerged, but it is strange how different people's experiences can be with this damn virus.
There are two new variants that have shown up and have the potential to start new covid waves. This one in China, and another one in NY, both are growing at about the same rate. Europe has both variants growing at about the same rate.
Expect a new wave to start showing up in the US in the next few weeks.
There's been relatively low rates of covid since the beginning of the year, but it looks like that's over.
JPWeiland has been pretty accurate in forecasting and monitoring what's been going on with regards to covid waves, if you want more detail. https://bsky.app/profile/jpweiland.bsky.social
