COVID-19 Outbreak Information Updates (Reboot) [over 150.000,000 US cases (est.), 6,422,520 US hospitilizations, 1,148,691 US deaths.]

We could be caught in between a rock and a hard place. Nobody is adhering to restrictions that are in place and a lot of pressure to remove any restrictions. Both of these I agree with for so many reasons.

However, the data coming out from BA.2 or (stealth Omicron) is not good. General consensus seems to show it's more contagious than Omicron and carries the severity of Delta with a very high rate of immune evasion.

Cases appear to be slowly doubling and the fear is that restrictions are dropped right as this thing starts to spread and we could see yet another wave.

I don't think we are headed that direction though.

First, we are headed into a time of the year in which Covid tends to hit minimums in the spring. Second, estimates that we have reached Omicron immunity levels in the 70+%.

Next, studies are continuing to show longer and longer lasting immunity against severe disease from the vaccine.

I do think we will have a big wave coming in the fall/early winter as immunity levels wane and we should be preparing with a booster that is better matched to the current variants and coordinate that shot to get maximum protection as we enter the fall wave. It looks like consensus is finally starting to catch up to that line of thinking instead of just boost, boost, boost with vaccine technology that does little to prevent spread on newer variants.
