Covid news – live: Cases soar again in India as doctors warn of ‘new symptom’
A new coronavirus strain dubbed Arcturus appears to be driving a surge in Covid-19 cases in India, prompting the country to resume vaccine production and sparking fears it could lead to a rise in cases in the UK and elsewhere.
India on Friday recorded 11,109 new Covid infections, the biggest jump in almost a year. The country’s active case count is now up to 49,662.
The XBB.1.16 strain, a sub-variant of Omicron, has been found in 22 countries, including Singapore, Australia, the UK and the US. Research indicates Arcturus could be one 1.2 times more infectious than the last major sub-variant, making it likely to become the dominant strain.
The spread of the strain, first detected in late January in India, is worrying experts, as it seems to exhibit unique symptoms in children, one of which is conjunctivitis.
The symptoms of the variant include high fever, cough, and “itchy” conjunctivitis or pinkeye, according to Vipin Vashishtha, a paediatrician and former head of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Immunisation.

COVID-19 and Influenza Activity
April 2, 2023 to April 8, 2023
These images provide a high-level assessment of respiratory virus activity in Ontario. Provincial percent positivity can be used to provide an estimate of the intensity of circulating viruses in the province. Percent positivity for the most recent week is used to assign influenza and COVID-19 to either a low, moderate, high or very high category. Weekly indicator change was determined by considering a combination of indicators (see Technical Notes). For further details, please refer to the Respiratory Virus Overview in Ontario report.

Is someone paying you to carry out research? Your observations are another form of scaring the public.
Professor K. Arvanitis of the University of Athens has exhausted his studies on covid 19 that concluded only those "vaccinated" with those atrocious manufactured substances containing heavy metals, graphene, etc caused deaths and injuries to humans and NOT the covid virus.
I think, AI could advance medical science enormously. Deep Blue lost to Kasparov in the beginning. However, after being taught by chess grand masters it won.
AI of today should the same way be taught by "grand masters" of each and every scientific field and sub-field. It should be taught to write references. And it should be taught to ask questions (suggest research), and not only supply answers.
AI can read the entire literature of medicine. Human professors can hardly reach to read the new literature in his or hers specific sub-sub-field.
And human experts of different sub-sub-fields some times do not understand the expert-language used by the other expert.
Therefore the knowledge that can be obtained, by combining knowledge from different sub-fields is not produced.
Here and now, I do not think that AI can help us against the corona virus.

I do not think there is any reason to be afraid of AI. It is just a sophisticated search engine. It is humans, and how they use AI, we should be afraid of.
