COVID-19 >>"True and Helpful" Covid Information Thread

Yes, seems they all have lost their grip on cases and are on the low side of late

Thankfully Omicron doesn't have the same severity as Delta..



With the number of cases we have our health care system would collapse and we would need to set aside land for cemetaries.

https://globalnews.ca/news/8531828/covid-19-boosters-annual-pfizer-ceo/">Pfizer Inc Chief Executive Albert Bourla said on Saturday that an annual COVID-19 vaccine would be preferable to more frequent booster shots in fighting the coronavirus pandemic.



"So from a public health perspective, it is an ideal situation. We are looking to see if we can create a vaccine that covers Omicron and doesn't forget the other variants and that could be a solution," Bourla said.



Pfizer/BioNtech's COVID-19 vaccine has shown to be effective against severe disease and death caused by the heavily-mutated Omicron variant but less effective in preventing transmission.



Bourla has said Pfizer could be ready to file for approval for a redesigned vaccine to fight Omicron, and mass produce it, as soon as March.



With cases soaring, some countries have expanded COVID-19 vaccine booster programs or shortened the gap between shots as governments scramble to shore up protection.



In an interview with Israel's N12 News, Bourla was asked whether he sees booster shots being administered every four to five months on a regular basis.



"This will not be a good scenario. What I'm hoping (is) that we will have a vaccine that you will have to do once a year," Bourla said.



"Once a year — it is easier to convince people to do it. It is easier for people to remember.

And it's easier to do as well..



Perhaps combine it with an influenza shot.

B.C. announced that it was effectively going to start treating COVID-19 like the flu . The province is going to stop contact tracing and is now asking healthy people to simply stay home for a few days if they get sick. Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry said that B.C. would henceforth be treating COVID-19 "much more like how we manage influenza."



All across Europe, countries that were meeting Omicron with stringent lockdowns just weeks ago are now lifting pandemic measures and treating the disease like the flu.

Last 3 days numbers (especially hospital), when they come out late afternoon today will determine immediate future, not her sudden 180 (with numbers rising & deaths doubling last week)  



I'm reserving judgement but 180 turn proclamations that say "I was wrong all along" does not make for credibility & is not flying well here.

Only the numbers will decide

People who have recovered from COVID are catching omicron.

We have many here who have had 2 rounds of it

BA.2



A new subvariant of omicron that differs from the original variant in some mutations, including on the spike protein, has been detected in Washington state.



"Two cases of BA.2, a subvariant of omicron, were detected earlier this month in Washington," a spokesperson for the Washington Department of Health told Fox News Digital on Monday.



The spokesperson said that health officials do not have much information on the new subvariant, which has been reported in parts of Europe and Asia.



United Kingdom health authorities declared BA.2 a "variant under investigation" on Friday, saying that "there is still uncertainty around the significance of the changes to the viral genome."



Two cases of BA.2 have also been detected in Houston, where Dr. Hana El Sahly dubbed it "stealth omicron" since it is harder to pick up on a PCR test, according to WOAI.



Omicron, which was first detected in South Africa in late November, has rapidly spread throughout the world and is now responsible for 99.5% of all new cases in the United States
