Hem passat de tenir q es desplaçaven una a l'altra a tenir una sopa de que no acaben d'imposar-se les unes a les altres. 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 , 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.
