FYI: The #BA2variant has an R0 of 12. Let’s say you don’t know you’re Covid+ and you go to an indoor event maskless. If you’re vaxxed, you’ll probably survive, but one or two of the 1500+ you’ve spread it to by the end of two weeks will die, and up to 30% will have #LongCovid.
For perspective…in all of 2019, there were 1,775 people who died in alcohol related crashes where the driver was “only a little drunk,” at between .01 to .07 g/dL. You would never ever get behind the wheel if you’d been drinking, due to the risk of killing or maiming someone. /2
The CDC goes to great lengths to inform us of the dangers of secondhand smoke, which is…you know…airborne and stuff. Like Covid. #COVIDisAirborne

That’s why we largely don’t have smoking sections anymore. /3

I think it’s time to revisit masking with #BA2 & how contagious it is. I am upgrading my recommendations to a P100 @3M respirator. They are less likely to suffer structural damage, meaning I have had them in use for 1 year at a time. That 100 is for 100% an N95 is 95% blocking ImageImage
Note do NOT use @amazon they have a huge issue with #CounterfeitMasks. The @US_FDA doesn’t seem to be doing their job & cracking down while Bezos lounges on his yacht. I have samples of counterfeit 3M masks I bought off of Amazon. I confirmed with 3M DIRECTLY. So this is serious
This isn’t hearsay but actually provable. Amazon hides behind “tHeY aRE iDepEnDanT coTrAcTOrS” while they rake in that sweet pandemic cash. I recommend you order from @HomeDepot as they buy directly from 3M. I wish I had a better solution. #MaskUp #P100Masks #CovidIsNotOver

J'ai eu 3 vaccins (2 doses et rappel) #COVID19. Je n'ai pas eu la la maladie à ce jour.

Demain je continuerai à porter le masque (FFP2) en lieu clos.
#CovidIsNotOver #14mars

Pourquoi ?

.../...
Parce que #BA2variant est 30 % + transmissible que BA.1. Et qu'une 6e vague a débuté.

Et parce que, plus le nombre de personnes contaminées, sera important, plus il y aura de risques de cas graves dans la population, et donc de tension hospitalière...

who.int/fr/news/item/2…
Parce que je ne souhaite pas être atteint, et arrêter de bosser, même quelques jours. Les patients ont besoin d'une continuité des soins. Les citoyens aussi, de façon générale ont besoin d'une continuité.

Deutschland, Schweiz und Österreich übertrumpen sich gegenseitig mit Ende gut Alles gut Öffnungen trotz hoher Fallzahlen. Zeit nach Gewinnern und Verlierern zu fragen, denn Antworten können überraschen #Thread 1/14
Keine überraschten Verlierer sind #Risikogruppen . Diese Menschen wissen, dass sie von Politik nichts zu erwarten haben & können nicht mehr tun, als sich zu schützen, bei höheren Risiken, noch mehr, aber eben nicht mehr, als möglich. Resignation herrscht, nicht seit gestern. 2/14
Keine überraschten Gewinner sind #Ungeimpfte Maßnahmen Kritiker. Diese hielten sich bewusst an keine Maßnahmen und nahmen uneingeschränkt am epidemiologischen Geschehen teil, wahrscheinlich sogar intensiver als geimpfte. Der Virus unterscheidet nicht zwischen Demo & Theater. 3/14

This is potentially very disturbing. A large multi-site Japanese study comparing #Omicron (BA1) to its much-mutated descendant #BA2 finds the later is more transmissible & more pathogenic.
MORE
2/findings:
- reproduction number of BA.2 is 1.4Xs higher
- vaccine-induced humoral immunity fails to function fully against BA.2
- antigenicity of BA.2 is different
- BA.2 is more replicative in human nasal epithelial cells more fusogenic. MORE

3/And lab tests with hamsters "show that BA.2 is more pathogenic than BA.1" #Omicron .
According to @WHO, #BA2variant is spreading quickly worldwide.

Tenemos ya el informe epi del lúnes 21. Estamos mal. El descontrol y el abandono se nota. Ni los cambios en cómo contar (por secretaría) han achicado los casos.
Las regiones, todas están literalmente color de hormiga. Rojo se queda corto.
Repasemos las regiones.
Las zonas mas extremas se llevan el máximo.
El abandono se nota y se puede medir en kilómetros.
Arica y Parinacota
Los números ya casi no caben en los recuadros.
Considerando que 10 es crítico, Arica con 232 se sale de escala. El resto no está en mejores condiciones.
