We have rarely heard news about the new coronavirus this year. Judging from the monitoring and reports of the CDC, the new coronavirus is in a low-level epidemic period. Although it may coexist with humans for a long time, everyone believes that it will be difficult for it to cause any more trouble.

In the current dog days, it stands to reason that in the hot and humid environment, the activity of respiratory infectious bacteria decreases and is usually at a low ebb. However, the new coronavirus breaks this rule. It is heat-resistant and can withstand high temperatures. The dog days cannot stop its spread. Recently, two pieces of news have attracted people's attention:

One is the WHO warning:The infection rate of the new coronavirus has increased dramatically worldwide, with the overall proportion of positive tests exceeding 10%, and even exceeding 20% ​​in Europe. The basic conclusion is that "the possibility of a resurgence of the new coronavirus cannot be ruled out." During the live broadcast of the Paris Olympics, many viewers wore masks.

One is a report from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention:In July this year, there were 203 new severe cases of COVID-19 infection and 2 deaths in mainland China. The COVID-19 positive rate rose from 8.9% at the beginning of the month to 18.7% at the end of the month. The main strains of COVID-19 currently prevalent in China are the JN.1 series variants and the XDV series variants.
