But we are dealing with a completely different strain of the virus now compared to 2 years ago
And more people vaccinated!

We will have to see if it follows the same pattern as before: cases going down in April and start moving up in July/Aug.

We are getting closer to our running 7-day death rate in July 2021 (171 spread) with many months to go before July. We are lower than we were this time last year (249 spread).

China is still on lockdown.

Couple of more people I know got it... no deaths. They were sick for a week or so. Not sure of their vac status.

BA2 Omicron is rife here and France. Most people have had it, or have it, at the moment. Almost everybody with mild or no symptoms. Vaccination, especially the booster in the UK around Christmas time worked very well.

It is being reported that is the issue in China... their vaccine is not working well (vs. what we developed in the US for example).

Daily death rate is still dropping although recently our covid hospital admissions started going up...

Plus the vaccine roll out in China is still ongoing leaving large numbers still unvaccinated (or vaccinated for more than a year and not boosted. We now know how crucial that third booster dose is.

Booster? Just wear 3 masks.
No more boosters for us for awhile. We got omicron BA5 last month. Basically a mild cold except for 24 hrs of low grade fever. I did get some weird red spots that popped up all over my torso after the symptoms subsided. The vaccines are now so different from the current strains of covid it's becoming pointless (unless you've never been vaccinated).

It seems that BA4 and BA5 are relatively poor immunogenically with only a short period post infection where the host is refractory to new infection. Moderna and Pfizer gave a new vaccine available which incorporates the original strain and BA4/BA5 but so far it seems little better than the original vaccine in trial work. It is something to do with the spike protein changes in BA4/BA5.

The original vaccine is still proving to be a very effective booster preventing serious disease. UK will offer a booster to all over 50's in the Autumn but not decided yet what will be used.

Take a look here.......interesting and SCARY!! 🤔 😲

If you actually go to the paper in question and understand the scientific processes you will find the TV programme is all a complete load of conspiracy rubbish. Was covered in this thread a while back.
