And this is why Victoria is still having 1300 cases a day and 9 deaths despite 90% vaccination. TBH we should shut the SA/Vic border until this stops.

Don’t let all the unknowns about omicron distract you.

This is what matters: NYC has hit a full blown wave.

Everyone needs to protect themselves. Get vax’d, get boosted, get tested, wear a mask, ventilate, stay home if sick. We know what to do. Now we need to do it. pic.twitter.com/FyzFIRrFXK

Adding to a strong body of evidence that longer spacing (16 vs 4 weeks) substantially improves the immune response to mRNA vaccine. And Prior Covid benefit from 1 shot. https://t.co/bVdksvIiJY @cellhostmicrobe pic.twitter.com/P5DOLlqoeO

I do! Also we could have (and still could going forward) increase global vaccine supply by giving out half-doses of the Moderna vaccine. https://t.co/s1okWJcYA5

What’s interesting is the authorities in Canada and the UK both did the right thing on dose spacing.

With their single-payer health systems they are accustomed to solving resource optimization problems, American regulators are oriented to blocking scammers.

South Africa #Omicron epicenter’s hospitalized cases are on O2 less / fewer deaths so far—HOWEVER huge caveats that don’t allow saying “milder”:

Cases much younger (80% age<50, ~1 in 5 kids <10)

Much HIGHER vaccination rate than earlier waves

Deaths lag many more weeks https://t.co/I7th21SM8r

Vaccine demand grows in the U.S. and so do wait times.

Many vaccination clinics and local officials are reporting long lines and delays in booking vaccination appointments recently, the product of expanded eligibility on booster shots and fears of the Omicron variant, experts said.

The stresses on the U.S. vaccination program are also worsened by the broader labor shortage that is affecting many sectors, including health care.

“What the public needs to keep in mind is that we’ve got a stressed and strained health care delivery system,” said Mitchel Rothholz, the lead for immunization policy at the American Pharmacists Association.

Vaccine demand has spiked from an average of under a million doses a day for much of October to an average of 1.5 million a day in recent weeks, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Demand for boosters and first time doses seems to be driving that increase.

Mr. Rothholz said that he has noticed that pharmacies are moving more to an appointment-based model with the uptick in demand, similar to when vaccines were first rolled out and there was a crush to get them. This means that people wanting a vaccine may need to plan ahead of time and could have to wait a few more days [....]

Omicron possibly more infectious because it shares genetic code with common cold coronavirus, study says

By Amy Cheng @ WashingtonPost.com |Updated December 4, 2021 at 11:19 a.m. EST

The omicron variant is likely to have picked up genetic material from another virus that causes the common cold in humans, according to a new preliminary study, prompting one of its authors to suggest omicron could have greater transmissibility but lower virulence than other variants of the coronavirus.

Researchers from Nference, a Cambridge, Mass.-based firm that analyzes biomedical information, sequenced omicron and found a snippet of genetic code that is also present in a virus that can bring about a cold. They say this particular mutation could have occurred in a host simultaneously infected by SARS-CoV-2, also known as the novel coronavirus, and the HCoV-229E coronavirus, which can cause the common cold. The shared genetic code with HCoV-229E has not been detected in other novel coronavirus variants, the scientists said.

The study is in preprint and has not been peer-reviewed [....]
