In the age of #Omicron, in the context of high community #prevalence and rapidly evolving #subvariants that can evade #immunity, it seems particularly reckless to rely on #vaccine or prior #infection acquired immunity as the only mechanism of protection against infection” https://mstdn.ca/@Billius27/110968515538936395

People aren’t taking this seriously’: experts say US Covid surge is big risk
In the fourth #year of the pandemic, #Covid-19 is once again spreading across #America and being driven by the recent holidays, fewer precautions and the continuing evolution of Omicron #subvariants of the virus.
New sub-variants are causing concern for their #increased #transmissibility.

Crec que aquesta 2ona situació és pitjor que la 1era, si valorem només el vessant víric i no considerem l'hoste.
A nivell de circulació vírica (mai bona si intensa) teníem abans altes muntanyes i profundes valls; i ara les subvariants #omicron, q competeixen més q substituir-se, generen relleu ondulat però sense valls, són més aviat ALTIplans.

The BQ and XBB subvariants of COVID are what medical scientists classify as levels 6 and 7 variants.
It is known that these variants can surpass our immune system, meaning those who previously contracted the omicron variant or who have received the bivalent booster (the 4th dose) will still contract these new variants.
The bottom line is, you need to wear an N95 face mask to avoid contracting COVID.
