Spread of XBB.1.5 is stunning

80% of Americans who’ve already been infected are likely to catch it again

Dr. Paula Cannon, virologist, University of Southern California

It’s crazy infectious

All the things that have protected you for the past couple of years,

I don’t think are going to protect you against this new crop of variants

Essentially, everyone in the country is at risk for infection now,

even if they’re super careful,

up to date on vaccines,

or have caught it before

The number of severe infections and deaths remains relatively low,

despite the high level of infections,

Current high UK incidence

England, prevalence 4.5%

Primarily of BQ.1 and sub-lineages

Hospitalisation (BQ.1)

Preliminary analysis, no increase in risk for people with BQ.1 compared to BA.5

Effectiveness of the bivalent booster against hospitalisation with BQ.1

At 2 or more weeks after receiving the booster

BQ,1 50.3%

BA.5 64.0%

XBB

First flagged, 11 October 2022

Recombinant lineage

2 BA.2 parent lineages BJ.1 and BM.1.1.1

Advantageous spike mutations from both

(about 12 compared to BA.2)

More receptor binding domain mutations

Plus 23 non spike mutations

Rapid replication in primary culture of nasal epithelium

XBB.1.5, (Kraken)

Currently at low prevalence, 4.5%

Has a combination of immune escape and ACE-2 affinity

XBB.1.5. has a 38.83% relative growth rate more than BQ.1.1

XBB is phenotypically similar to other Omicron variants,

rather than to Delta or earlier variants of concern.

CH.1.1

Currently at moderate prevalence

Has a 21.56% relative growth rate more than BQ.1.1

Variant prevalence, 26 December 2022 to 1 January 2023

51.3% BQ.1

19.5% CH.1.1

7.2% BA.5

4.9% BA.2.75

4.5% XBB.1.5

3.6% XBB

2.1% were BA.2

0.12% BA.4.6

0.7% classified as other

Reports from Variant Technical Group members

Neutralisation titres against XBB are the lowest of any contemporary variant tested

So, expect post vaccine and post infection breakthrough

  1. I had Covid last week. I believe this is the variant I had. It was confirmed by a Covid test and I quarantined for 9 days. The illness was not very bad. Just a bad headache for a couple of days, some fatigue, and some chills the first day. It wasn't really bad, on day 4 I took my dog out for a long walk. I took a test on Sunday and got a negative result so I have returned to work. The only significant thing that happened, is that I lost my sense of smell, but it is slowly returning.

  2. Even if i were pollinated and fully vaccinated i would admire the unvaccinated for withstanding the greatest pressure i have ever seen from partners , parents , children , friends , colleagues and even doctors. People who are capable of such personality courage and critical ability are undoubtedly the best part of humanity . They are everywhere in all ages all levels of education . They are of the special kind , they are the soldiers that every army of light wants to have in its ranks , they are the parent that every child wants to have and the children that every parent dreams of heaving . They are beings above the average of their societies they are the essence of the people who have built all cultures and conquered horizons.

    They did what others could not .

    They were the tree that withstood the hurricane of insults , discrimination and social exclusion and they did it because they thought they were alone and they believed they were the only ones , banned from their families tables at Christmas they never saw anything so cruel , they lost their jobs let their careers sink had no more money but they did not care , they suffered a measurable discrimination , denunciation betrayal and humiliation but they kept on going .

    Never before in humanity has there been such a casting , men women , young , old , rich , poor of all races and religions the

    Unvaccinated the chosen of the invisible ark the only ones who managed to resist when everything collapsed .

    That is YOU !

    You passed an unimaginable test that many of the toughest Marines , Commandos , Green Berets , Astronauts and even geniuses could not withstand .

  3. On the BRIGHTER side of things, ……Dearest Dr C! YOU are looking so "Beautifully Well" sir! You obviously know how to handle stress! Thank goodness! Thanks again, for ALL the updates!

  4. As far as lab created by tacking on with random firing of atoms at some animal virus, it is pretty resilient and acting in a natural way. Now something from nature, they gathered, did nothing to it, was sloppy with it and made it common when it got out, I can buy that. Things made in lab without a lot of human testing would not be so resilient, it would be fragile. Maybe monkey trials with a virus that was allowed to mutate naturally, but even that you would need a lot of monkeys to get a version that even infects them if it were not a monkey virus, let alone mutate to the human infectable. Once the monkey has been infected (it's immune to this virus) it cannot be used anymore to get this initial infection to mutate toward a human infectable variant, and you infect 10 monkeys you probably would get 0 mutations. Saying some Tom Clancy bio lab is capable of it without ever had worked in such a lab is talking out of your ass.

  5. Never thought there would be medical censorship in Britain, shameful what has happened to our country and parliamentary democracy.

  6. I had all these symptoms right after Christmas Severe sore throat etc , fatigue etc. Felt like ice Below normal temps And then fever. The forehead scanners showed I was normal and are very inaccurate – finally used old fashioned thermometer which showed I was sick Started with severe sore throat. I had 102 temp. Dr put me on 2 rounds of zpack Finally feel better Repeated Covid tests all negative. negative Evil scientists need to stop playing with our lives

  7. Hmmmm. It's almost like the human population is unwittingly involved in mass experiments to find the most infectious virus in humans through genetic manipulation. Once that "magic bullet" is found, it will be combined with a high mortality virus.

  8. Well not vaccine here but i am cover by the blood of Jesus Christ 🥰 The blood of Christ has the power to atone for an infinite number of sins committed by an infinite number of people throughout the ages, and all whose faith rests in that blood will be saved❤️

  9. modern viruses=poisons that propagate at the speed of light, like solar photons in a blue sky… Frequencies against frequencies in this architected dance of yin&yang obfuscations…
