Glad to see @WHO cares and will continue its #VariantTracking efforts!

These decisions generate a domino-type effect often ending up impacting the funds allocated for robust global surveillance efforts

#VariantTrackers have their task cut out...

Celui-ci va probablement prendre le podium.

XBB.1.17▶️XBB.1 + S:E180V + S:K478R + S:S486P + ORF1a:L3829F + ORF1b:D1746Y + ORF9b:I5T + ORF9b:N55S

▶️S:486P: Echappement immunitaire +++. L'amène au niveau de XBB.1.5
▶️S:E180V: Non significatif.

#Covid19
▶️S:K478R: CM.4.1, BA.2.38.3. Confère un léger avantage d'échappement immunitaire.
▶️ORF1a:L3829F: Très présent dans les séquences de patients chroniques immunodéprimés, et dans les BQ*. NSP6/ Son effet est inconnu.
▶️ORF1b:D1746Y: Rare.NSP12. Cible

#Covid19 #Variant
de plusieurs antiviraux, dont le remdevisir. Emergeant d'un patient chronique, peut donner un avantage contre des antiviraux. Pure spéculation.
▶️ORF9b:I5T: Présent dans XBB.1.9* et seule mutation pouvant expliquer son apparente avantage sur 1.5*. .

De huidige uitbraak van #vogelgriep is zorgelijk.

Er is gelukkig nog geen bewijs voor mogelijke mens-op-mens verspreiding en zeer beperkt bewijs voor verspreiding tussen zoogdieren.

Maar dit is wel hét moment om de #preparedness riemen aan te trekken
hoe groot de kans is op een uitbraak onder mensen, wat de route van het virus zal zijn, hoeveel slachtoffers er kunnen vallen: geen idee ⁉️
Maar volgens Ron Fouchier heeft het virus maar een handvol genetische aanpassingen nodig om #pandemic te worden

Het is daarom slim om nu na te gaan: welke lessen uit de #coronapandemie willen we dan meenemen?
We weten dat
- snel handelen in beginfase essentieel is
- er dan nog veel onzekerheid zal zijn
Welke bruikbare #communicatie lessen komen dan van pas?

THREAD XBB

XBB.1.5 vient d'obtenir un surnom, Kraken. P̈révalent à New York, il booste une forte vague

Il est récemment apparu en France, en faible nombre, dans 4 régions

Les XBB pouvant causer une de nos prochaines vagues, ils méritent une petite synthèse.

#Covid19 #Variant Image
XBB est un recombinant de BJ.1 (branche BA.2.10), et de BM.1.1.1 (branche BA.2.75.3) avec une cassure en Spike, repéré le 12 septembre. La majeure partie du virus, après la cassure, provient de M.1.1.1.

#Covid19 #Variant Image
XBB se retrouve avec 5 mutations Spike améliorant l'affinité aux recepteurs ACE2 (dont Y144del, la meilleure), et donc l'infectivité du virus, 3 mutations d'échappement immunitaire ++ (346T, 460K, 486S), 3 mutations d'EI + (445P, 446S, 490S), et deux standard.

🗓️ vanaf morgen, 11 april 2022, vervalt het algemene advies om voor een #coronatest naar de #GGD te gaan

voor de meeste mensen is een #zelftest voldoende voor testen bij mogelijke COVID19 symptomen

het "zicht op het virus" vervalt daarmee deels

1/

rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/co…
wat blijft:
-Testen bij klachten
-#Isolatie na positieve #COVID19 test
-#Quarantaine na nauw contact (tenzij vaccinatie en aantal andere regels)

#isolatie mag na 5 dagen opgeheven worden, mits 24 uur klachtenvrij, en tot dag 10 voorzichtig zijn 😷

2/

wat verandert:
- wie er nog wél bij de GGD mogen komen testen
- ons #ZichtOpHetVirus 🔎📊

🔊Heads up, at 11am PST we'll look at the new BA.2 #Covid variant, which now accounts for more than 50% of new infections in New York/New England, and almost 35% in California. Join us here @EthnicMediaSvc or via FB fb.me/e/1qjhPsdw7 @LcacNews @StanfordChild
Welcome to today's briefing, "The BA.2 #Variant Gains Ground: Are We Heading Back to the Future?"
You can follow the discussion on Twitter @EthnicMediaSvc or via FB Live fb.me/e/1qjhPsdw7
A question from our moderator @sunita37 on how the BA.2 #variant emerged. "BA.2 is similar to #omicron that shares a common ancestor with #omicron but it is an ancestor that we do not know," says @DrBenNeuman

Nuove varianti e tornano le preoccupazioni, questo thread non vuole essere un riassunto delle varianti attuali ma una GUIDA per districarsi nelle informazioni e per pesarle:

1/n

#Covid_19 #Variant #OmicronXE #Omicron #XE #XD
1) questo virus è il più studiato della storia, abbiamo un livello di dettaglio mai visto prima. Moltissime delle informazioni sono estremamente tecniche e difficili da capire e contestualizzare. I migliori scienziati al mondo sono al lavoro sulle varianti --> don't panic
2/n
2) i virus naturalmente mutano e lo fanno in continuazione: è nella loro 'natura'. Non dobbiamo stupirci o preoccuparci per una nuova variante, fin quando circolerà, muterà.

Study from @Yale looking at the association between the #Pfizer #COVID19 #vaccine and #SARSCoV2 positivity among 542 adolescents when the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 was predominant and within 4 months of the vaccine rollout for adolescents showed:
-estimated effectiveness of the #pfizer vaccine was 91%, with 93% protection against symptomatic infections & 85% effectiveness against asymptomatic infection
Conclusion: These findings suggest that the #Pfizer #vaccine was effective in adolescents within 4 months of #immunization, including against infections caused by the #Delta #variant.

A lot of people around the world are feeling elated & treating emergence of #Omicron as a signal of the end of the pandemic! Most believe it will bring “endemicity".

Does it make sense? 1/
How can anyone think we’ve got this under control when a new #variant suddenly pops up, nearly completely evades immunity & then sweeps the world in a few weeks?
Further, we must know “mutations have no schedule.” Could be 4-6 months, could be next week. 2/
“to what extent will #Omicron-like emergence events characterize "endemic" circulation of #SARS2? Given it occurred once, having it occur again would not be at all surprising,…whether to expect this every year or every ten.” 3/

OK #Covid_19 #COVID19 #Covid #uspoli #canpoli #ukpolitics #EU #worldpoli are you or one of your family members one of the 1/100 predicted to get severely ill from #Omicron the #COVID19 #Covid_19 #Variant despite being 3-4X vaccinated and following public health advice?
A THREAD:
And so it seems world leaders around the globe have finally come together - to declare that 1/100 people with #Omicron experiencing severe disease and/or death is an acceptable number for "a productive economy" - what does that mean if YOU or an at-risk family member is 1/100?
First you must accept the cold hard fact that nobody any longer gives a single solitary flying shit that you or your family member(s) are now after 2 years of "we're all in this together" staring down the very short barrel of a rapidly increased mortality risk from #Omicron.

Government leaders have failed to put the health, well-being & dignity of every resident at the center of our #COVID19 response. Many of us are suffering unnecessarily and every sector is impacted by preventable challenges. 🧵 1/

boston.cbslocal.com/2021/12/22/cov…
This all could have been avoided. Our government leaders could have prioritized the needs of residents rather than protecting special interests and getting lulled into believing that a privatized response would save us. 2/ #mapoli #bospoli
We know how stressed our community members feel, how our nurses & doctors are #burntout, how much our teachers & students want to safely return to the classroom & how worried our parents are for their children and their aging parents, never mind themselves. 3/

1/You have no doubt heard much lately about the recently designated #COVID19 #variant, #omicron.

I would like to distill what we know, what we do not know, and what this all means for you right now.
2/On 11/26/21, the @WHO officially designated B.1.1.529 (#omicron) a "variant of concern."

It cited a "large number of mutations, some of which are concerning" and "preliminary evidence" of "an increased risk of reinfection with this variant.."

who.int/news/item/26-1…
3/In short, scientists are concerned because #omicron exhibits an unusual number of mutations across the #SARSCoV2 genome, with >30 on the spike protein.

The spike is the part of the virus that allows it to gain access to human cells and reproduce. (h/t @_nference)
