Hi CTMedic -- just some color about the BA.2 vari
Post# of 148112
Anecdotally, I can tell you that I'm concerned that the variant also seems a little better able to avoid detection in quick tests. One friend was negative in a quicktest, then a half-hour later positive in a PCR (yes, he had it). Still anecdotally -- several friends who have had another version of Covid have come down with this one.
Deaths are not high, but they are much higher than Omicron deaths, probably largely because we have so many more cases.
Leron availability would help, of course. For the love of God, Montresor!
