COVID-19 News: Leading German hospital - Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin has posted a warning online that as ICU admissions increases at its hospital in Germany, it has been found that almost 10 percent of all such admissions are needing artificial ventilation or ECMO therapy due to disease severity and manifestations of ARDS or acute respiratory distress syndrome.

ECMO or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, also known as extracorporeal life support, is an extracorporeal technique of providing prolonged cardiac and respiratory support to persons whose heart and lungs are unable to provide an adequate amount of oxygen, gas exchange or blood supply to sustain life.
The hospital also warned that most of the individuals with existing comorbidities are developing disease severity upon contracting the JN.1 variant and often require hospitalization or end up in ICU care.
The JN.1 variant and its spawns are wreaking havoc across many geolocations in the world and what is misleading is that many health authorities, governments, even leading researchers and ‘health influencers’ are saying that the JN.1 is a mild variant that is only causing mild infections.
If JN.1 is mild why are hospitalizations rising and why are excess deaths increasing?
Many governments across the world are even concealing both COVID-19 death rates and even excess death rates for the last 6 weeks!
Initially many health officials and researchers online even dismissed BA.2.86 and its spawn JN.1 as being more highly transmissible. However, the U.S. CDC and the WHO has finally admitted that the JN.1 variant is indeed more transmissible but at a very late stage when infection rates were already beyond control.

What is also alarming is that preliminary unpublished data is showing that the JN.1 variant is rapidly evolving and has spawned more than 370 different kinds of new sub-lineages in this short time, each with varying viral fitness but all seemingly targeting the various components of the human host immune system!
While it is not known which ones will ultimately evolve to become dominant strains in circulation, some of the earlier JN.1 spawns such as JN.1.1, JN.1.1.1, JN.1.2, JN.2, JN.3, JN.4, JN.5, JN.6 ad JN.7 are already showing signs that they are causing even worse outcomes in those infected with them!

Following the trajectory of the JN.1 evolution, we can safely say that an ultimately highly lethal variant is likely to emerge very soon.
At present the situation in Germany is extremely bad with a projected 7.9 to 8.1 million Germans actually sick at present!

The situation is no different across various countries across Europe but unfortunately mainstream media and international wire agencies are not covering on the unfolding COVID-19 crisis there and elsewhere or giving proper daily
COVID-19 News updates as most governments and media under the control of the WEF are being directed to simply downplay or conceal the actual situation and to keep up with the current narratives that JN.1 is mild and that the current COVID-19 vaccines can protect all!
We warn readers to keep on masking, practice all COVID-19 preventive measures such as hand washing, social distancing and also to use air-filters in homes, offices, shops, etc.
The coming weeks will reveal just how bad the current COVID-19 crisis actually is.
