We’re in year 7 of COVID, and a lot has changed. We now understand far more about its long-term impact on the body and how infections can build over time. If you’ve been rethinking your approach to protection, you’re not alone, and it’s not too late to start again.

Here's the latest variant picture for Australia, to late March.
Several variants are churning around in a confused picture, without any one being clearly dominant.
NB.1.8.1.* "Nimbus" rebounded to 40%.
BA.3.2.* "Cicada" rebounded to 33%.
JN.1.* + DeFLuQE’s fell to 21%.
XFG.* "Stratus" fell steeply to 10%.
"Skin as a potential entry point for SARS-COV-2"
Study finds inflamed skin may increase SARS-CoV-2 entry. Cytokines raise ACE2/TMPRSS2 levels, boosting viral entry—suggesting skin could be an overlooked infection route.
