JFC 😳. The variant is BF. 7. "To put this into context, BF.7 is believed to have an R0, or basic reproduction number, of 10 to 18.6. This means an infected person will transmit the virus to an average of 10 to 18.6 other people. Research has shown omicron has an average R0 of 5.08"

Hi, I'm Fox!

My main obsession for the last 3 years has been #DragonAge so this account is likely going to center around that topic. Some of my favorite characters are #Solas, #IronBull, #DorianPavus, #CullenRutherford.
I particularly enjoy #slash #fanfiction and #fanart.

I am an #artist who might post #NSFW fanart - if I find the courage to - but if I do it will be behind a CW or marked sensitive.

I'm still trying to find my way around this new platform but don't be afraid to say 'hi'.

If you think outdoors is safe... it's only "safer"...

This is the Chinese CDC. They have consistently been far more thorough than any other CDC with the possible exception of the New Zealand CDC.

Male gets infected. Goes jogging. China is a surveillance state. They know everywhere he went and who was around him.

Close contacts were persons who have a distance less than 1 meter with Patient Zero and without effective prevention measures.

48 were infected.

39 cases all had the same exposure of being in the park on the 16th, including 33 visitors and 6 park staff.

At-risk populations were persons who had been to areas that Patient Zero visited while without close contact with Patient Zero.

20 cases in at-risk population.

Variant from Tibet, not local, with 29 of 39 having same sequencing.
