🧵What’s the difference between XBB.1.5 and XBB.1.16 that gives XBB.1.16 an estimated 200% growth advantage over XBB.1.5?

A concerning trend that has been gaining momentum is mutations in the body of the virus instead of the spike.
Even though XBB.1.5 is already avoiding antibodies, the immune system is still alerted to the infection. The mutations in XBB.1.16 could make things worse by messing up the signal that tells the immune system there's an infection. 2/
It may be shutting off the alarm system so the body doesn’t know there is an intruder. This could result in fewer symptoms while it infects immune cells and weakens the immune system, leaving people more vulnerable to infection from other viruses and bacteria. 3/

COVID is overwhelmingly shown to be the underlying cause behind sudden deaths and the excess deaths.

Fungal infections with Candida auris increased from 756 in 2020 to 1,471 in 2021. Preliminary figures count at least another 2,377 cases for 2022. 30 states & the District of Columbia have now reported Candida auris patients.

COVID is listed as one of the leading causes of Lymphocytopenia.

"People with lymphocytopenia experience recurrent infections or develop infections with unusual organisms & it is a risk factor for the development of cancers & for autoimmune disorders."

In India, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan has said in a letter sent to six states, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka, to follow a risk assessment-based approach to prevent & contain the spread of COVID-19 infections.

XBB.1.16 has been sequenced in the U.S. and the U.K.

NY, WA, CA, FL, IL, TX, England, Northern Ireland, Wales should all be paying close attention to new outbreaks and increasing hospitalizations.
This variant has a significant growth advantage over XBB.1.5 Image
XBB.1.16 growth advantage went up since the pic below to 227% but this will fluctuate as more data is acquired. This is far above any of the XBB.1.5 subvariants. At the low end of the spread, it would have a 100% advantage, 5 x greater than XBB.1.5.10 What changed? Image

XBB variants evade antibodies and are more likely to persist in organs

75% of U.S. substantial or high transmission levels

Coinfections are more severe

Multiple respiratory viruses are circulating at very high levels.

#MitchMcConnell, #Republicans, #Biden, #Democrats.
XBB.1.5 is over 89% of cases in the U.S.

XBB.1.5 has spawned over 20 sub-variants, many of which have new advantages.

Mutations are occurring more often in the body of the virus.

It's likely to find a combo to further suppress the T-cell response soon.
It is horrible that more immunocompromised & elderly are getting infected & dying with protections lifted.

The more immunocompromised infected, the more rapid the pace of evolution.

The direction it's headed isn't likely to be less dangerous.

More will suffer from #LongCovid
