BA-2 one of the more recent variant of SARS-CoV-2 was shown to replicate about ten times faster than the original variants from Wuhan in our brains and is about five times better at defeating our innate immune response and caused faster programmed cell death in our brains.

So what I’m seeing is #basically we are f£%ed? Haven’t read article fully but skim..looking at this #omicron #lineage & understanding most infections are BA.5 as of recently…& the updated #biavalent doesn’t even touch BA.2 …

Omg can’t believe im saying this, but I have so much gratitude I caught OG Italy/China strain & BA.1 so I could work out the flaws on #HowNotToGetCovid #wtf #Jfc #CovidIsNotOver people

If you don’t want to randomly drop dead #PrecautionaryPrinciple

@Lorrrraaaaine depending on where in the world one is a variant may be more prevalent over the another, in the UK where I am, we're into BA5 and its sublineages. Again BA5 Bivalent is available depending on geography.
The best thing to do, as usual, is to avoid getting infected in the first place.
FFP3 MASKS, VENTILATION, FILTRATION are proven to work.

yes #indeed
Avoid like the #Plague it is (even tho it’s not #bacteria )

I used to get #rhinovirus constantly

Somebody told me pre-good-Google you only get rhinovirus #strains once, & I believed them #gullible me; knew somehow there were 150-ish & #calculated at 3 #annually by the time I was 70 I’d be free

Was #devastated to #discover in 2020 w/ #coronavirus #research #waningImmunity 2 year #maybe

These #mutations #recombinants are #extremely worrying #reinfection
