🧵Today marks 1 year since the WHO designated #Omicron a Variant of Concern. This most infectious and immune-resistant variant was seized upon to scrap all remaining mitigation measures and normalize the pandemic globally. #CovidIsntOver #BringBackMasks 1/ wsws.org/en/articles/20…
Over the past year, billions of people have been infected globally. Officially, 1.4 million people have been killed by #Omicron, but excess death estimates place the real global death toll over the past year at 5.2 million, or 1/4 of all #COVID deaths. 2/ economist.com/graphic-detail…
Excess deaths are now elevated everywhere, a reflection of the horrific toll of #LongCovid and the reverberations of the mass infection policies implemented by nearly every capitalist government in response to Omicron. 3/

7 vagues consécutives en 2 ans et demi, les plus hautes avec les sous-variants d’#Omicron, la plus longue avec Delta (deux vagues). Pas d’immunité collective pour bloquer la transmission, forte couverture vaccinale réduisant formes graves et décès.

2/4 - Si la France suit la dynamique portugaise de sa récente vague #BA5, alors le pic de mortalité pourrait être quinze jours après celui des contaminations, soit en France début juillet, avec un pic d’hospitalisations le précédant de quelques jours.

(A) Covid is airborne 🦠 This means, infectious particles are carried in the air we breathe.

(B) Although hand washing helps spread infection and is a good thing to do, it does not clean the air.
Given #COVIDisAirborne, the best way to protect yourself from (re)infection is to wear a good-fitting, high-grade #FFP2, or preferably #FFP3, mask 😷

1/9 - “Hospital admissions are rising across Europe and the US as highly transmissible #COVID19 variants drive infections, but the resulting illness is less likely to be severe or cause death than in previous waves, according to the FT and health experts.”

📍NEW DOMINANCE of “ESCAPE ARTIST” Variants #BA5 & #BA4–together topping 52% of all strains in the US, all while #BA2 family going extinct. ➡️BA5&4 are highly evasive against past immunity—matches rise in #COVID19 hospitalization in US & many countries.🧵 covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…
2) this is why FDA has recommended for updates booster shots— The panel’s vote paves the way for F.D.A. to push manufacturers to make reformulated boosters in time for Biden WH to offer them later this year, before an expected winter surge of the virus.

3) #BA5 has begun causing havoc in hospitalizations worldwide in many countries. Especially recently in Portugal that had a wave of hospitalization that neared it’s winter peak. UK is now being squeezed by BA5/4 too. 👇

3/9 - “Experts warn that the widespread scaling back of testing and surv may be compromising the ability of countries to spot new mutations and react quickly. They fear this could lead to waves later in the year that will put pressure on health syst and prove harder to contain.”
⚠️My god — #COVID19 hospitalizations up ⬆️ 33% in just 1 week in England 🏴!📌Plus COVID deaths rose ⬆️ 8% in a week too! #BA5 and #BA4 are surging like mad in England - not even dominant yet - and it’s already bad. 📌Hospitalizations in young kids up 30% too! #CovidIsNotOver 🧵
2) Look at the COVID hospitalization turnaround - it’s quite sharp!! Across all ages!
3) Hospital admissions in England🏴 among 0-5 years olds! Look at that swing — it’s over 36% jump in a week!
The 6th #COVID19 surge in the US is deepening each day, driven by the highly infectious Omicron #BA2 & #BA2121 subvariants, and the Biden administration has made clear that it will no nothing to slow or stop the spread. #CovidIsNotOver A🧵1/

On Wednesday the US recorded nearly 190,000 new cases, pushing the 7-day average of daily new cases to well over 100,000. According to the New York Times, hospitalizations now stand at 22,875, a 27 percent increase over the last 14 days. 2/
These figures are known to be significant undercounts due to the bipartisan undermining of testing & data reporting at the federal & state levels since January 2022. Only 4 states now report #COVID data daily, while 13 states report once/week or less. 3/
1/ As we observe this new #BA2 fueled wave pick up real steam, I have my doubts about the signal value of wastewater as an early indicator for rising transmission rates compared to testing.

The data is far too noisy to understand what is happening real-time or to make predictions.

VARIANT UPDATE—#BA2 subvariant family continues to grow to now 96.8% with the more aggressive sub-subvariant BA.2.12.1 now at 28.7% and surging quickly. Old #Ba1 Omicron nearly extinct. Be cautious folks. #CovidIsNotOver

2) Are there more potentially dangerous variants out there? Oh yes, #BA4 is really worrisome for example. It’s not in the US yet but it is growing in South Africa.
3) this surge in deaths is almost all #BA2 wave deaths in the UK 🇬🇧— it’s sad people ignore it and don’t care about others dying anymore.
📍“IT SPARES NO ONE”—new @JohnsHopkins evidence has revealed that anyone infected with COVID is at higher risk for heart issues—clots, inflammation, arrhythmias—a risk that **persists even in relatively healthy people** long after the illness has passed 🧵

2) “The major finding was that people with COVID-19 have a higher risk of all sorts of heart problems at one year. That included arrhythmias (irregular heart beats or the heart beating too fast or too slow) and atrial fibrillation (a fast heart rhythm in a particular pattern).
3) “We found evidence of an increased risk of stroke, of blood clots in the legs and the lungs, and of heart failure and heart attacks. The increased risk of a broad spectrum of heart problems was evident.
Unklare #Hepatitis-Fälle bei #Kindern - eine Einordnung meinerseits. Seit einigen Wochen werden vermehrt Hepatitis-Fälle bei Kindern unter 10 Jahren (Gipfel 2-5) gemeldet, bislang aus UK, Dänemark, Niederlande, Spanien, Israel und nun auch USA, mit Beginn wohl schon in 2021

NEW KID ON THE BLOCK—#BA2’s new spin off #BA2121 sub-subvariant is now surging exponentially—so infectious that it is outpacing even #Ba2 and completely displacing #Omicron, which is now near extinct. Together #BA2 and #BA2121 are now 94% of all strains in US.

2) Hospitalizations are surging. We can debate new variants if more dangerous or not— but more infection, even if mild, means more problems. And don’t forget #LongCovid that doesn’t show up in hospitalizations.
