China reported 522,000 newly confirmed COVID-19 cases in July, including 487 severe cases and one related death with cases showing a fluctuating upward trend, China's national disease control authority said.
The current uptick in infections represents another regular cyclical wave, with its severity comparable to surges seen in the past two years. The upward growth curve has slowed markedly, and the country is now on the plateau phase of this epidemic peak, said the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Chinese CDC) on Thursday.
All tested infection samples were confirmed to be the Omicron variant, with the NB.1.8.1 strain and its sublineages accounting for the majority of circulating cases, the Chinese CDC said.
A Beijing-based respiratory disease specialist told the Global Times that waning population immunity, continued virus mutations that weaken existing antibody protection, and increased summer travel have contributed to the recent modest rise in infections. However, there is no evidence that the virus has become more pathogenic. Nationwide infections appear to be nearing their peak and case numbers may begin falling in late August.
According to sentinel hospital surveillance data, from June 29-July 5 to July 27-August 2, the proportion of influenza-like illness among all outpatient and emergency visits at China's 1,041 COVID-19 and influenza sentinel hospitals edged up with slight fluctuations, standing at 4.3 percent, 4.4 percent, 4.5 percent, 4.4 percent and 4.5 percent, respectively.
During the same period, the COVID-19 positivity rate among patients with influenza-like illness in outpatient and emergency departments rose for consecutive weeks.
Several factors drove the fluctuating rise in COVID-19 cases in July. Population immunity has waned, as more than six months have passed since the last major wave of infections for most people, while continued SARS-CoV-2 mutations have reduced the protection provided by existing antibodies, Li Tongzeng, a respiratory disease medic from Beijing You An Hospital to the Capital Medical University, told the Global Times on Friday.
These factors, combined with increased travel and population mobility during the summer vacation, contributed to the recent small-scale surge. Based on patterns observed in recent years, COVID-19 infections tend to rise every six to eight months as population immunity declines, said Li.
The expert noted that while the virus continues to mutate, there is no evidence that it has become more pathogenic. Clinical data show that most patients develop only mild symptoms, with very few progressing to pneumonia or requiring hospitalization.
The Chinese CDC noted on Thursday that since COVID-19 was reclassified as a Category B infectious disease under Category B management, it has evolved into a prevalent, recurring respiratory infectious disease in China, with one to two epidemic fluctuations occurring nationwide each year.
Li also noted that residual immunity from previous infections also helps reduce disease severity, with most reinfections presenting as mild upper respiratory symptoms that resolve within about a week. The single COVID-related death reported nationwide in July further indicates that the current fatality rate remains very low.
Judging from historical epidemic patterns and current case growth trajectories, national infection figures may begin to decline in late August. Nationwide case numbers are now nearly at their peak, with declines already observed in some regions, said Li.
The Chinese CDC also said on Thursday that surveillance had not detected any variants posing major public health risks, nor had the current wave caused notable disruptions to the healthcare system.
The public is advised to take appropriate protective measures, including wearing masks when necessary, maintaining good personal hygiene, adopting healthy lifestyles and getting vaccinated as recommended.
。为此，公司首席执行官蒂姆•库克（Tim Cook）获得了2018财年有史以来最大的年度奖金。苹果在周二提交的一份文件中表示，截至9月29日，库克在2018财年共收到1200万美元年终奖金。再加上他300万美元的薪水和价值1.21亿美元的10年期股票奖励，库克总共获得了1.36亿美元，外加约682000美元的津贴。奖金与收入和营业收入目标挂钩，比上年平均增长16%。
三 | 但是，明年要保持这样的成绩是比较困难的。上周，苹果宣布大中华区和其他地区对iPhone的需求低于预期，并在近20年来首次下调了收入预测。
四 | 市场对这一消息的反应立即反映在该公司的股价上，此后股价暴跌了12%。苹果的其他四位高管也获得了400万美元的奖金，使总薪酬达到每人2650万美元（包括工资和股票奖励）。部分股权与股票回报目标挂钩；其余股权只要仍在苹果工作，就可以使用。库克的大部分薪酬来自于他在2011年获得的巨额股票奖，当时他接替史蒂夫•乔布斯（Steve Jobs）担任苹果首席执行官。股票奖励每年发放一次，并逐步增加。
五 | 库克每年获得的股票数量部分取决于苹果相对于其他标准普尔500指数公司的表现。今年8月，库克赢得56万股，因为苹果的股价在三年内超过了公司股价的三分之二。在上一个财政年度，苹果的股票回报率为49%，其中包括再投资股息。回报几乎是标准普尔的三倍。
