''In fact, our #epidemic #dynamics analyses showed that #EG51 exhibits a higher effective reproduction number (Re) compared with #XBB15, #XBB116, and its parental lineage (XBB.1.9.2), suggesting that EG.5.1 will spread globally and outcompete these XBB subvariants in the near future''

''Globally, #XBB116 and #EG5 are the most prevalent #VOIs and have been reported from 106 and 53 countries, respectively. In epidemiological week 31 (31 July to 6 August 2023), XBB.1.16 and EG.5 accounted for 23.9% and 23.8% of sequences in comparison to 23.0% and 21.7% in week 27 (3 to 9 July 2023), respectively (Table 3).''

''Data from July 31 to August 06, a rise in the incidence of several #VOIs has been observed, especially those belonging to #EG5 (a subvariant of #XBB192 with the additional Spike mutation: F456L), #XBB116 and #XBB1166 (with Spike mutation F456L). In particular, among sequenced viruses, #EG5 represented 32,4% (#EG51, 18,9%; #EG511,
13,5%); #XBB116 (18,9%) and XBB.1.16.6, 16,2%.''

Question: With the #arcturus #omicron COVID variant #XBB116 causing so many eye infections, how should we protect our eyes as routes of infection? I wear glasses and I'm wondering if that helps at all.

Heads up.

Via Laurie Garrett:

A new mutant form of #Omicron #SARSCoV2 may be especially deadly, taking a huge toll now in India.

Chris Turnbull:
NEW Study from the hard-hit Maharashtra area of India shows BRUTAL: #SARS3 #Covid #XBB116 #Arcturus strain has a fatality rate of 1 in 40 with a staggering 1 in 3 needing oxygen, and nearly 30% being hospitalised with the new strain
