Omicron is a deadly virus. Former UFC star 41 y.o. Chris "The Crippler" Leben from San Diego CA is recovering from COVID after being on life support. He declined to talk about his vaccination status. This was his second battle with COVID #TheySurvivedCovid10news.com/news/local-new…

The Technical Advisory Group on SARS-CoV-2 Virus Evolution (TAG-VE) evaluated real-world data on clinical severity of Omicron from South Africa, UK & Denmark, where immunity from vax or natural infection is high & found no difference in severity between BA.2 & BA.1 @mvankerkhove
At the moment, there is no difference in severity of disease between the Omicron subvariants BA.2 and BA.1, however BA.2 is more transmissible, which is concerning because many governments are ending COVID protections.
Omicron subvariants BA.2 and BA.1 are already variants of concern. However, they are not different variants based on their similar high transmissibility, severity of disease and ability to evade vaccines. @AnuragAgrawalMD, Chair of @WHO Technical Advisory Group on Virus Evolution
