Based on recent data, looks like we are going back to the COVID numbers last March 2022
Demonyo talaga itong CHINA WUHAN VIRUS
as uls already said before,
if we are going to keep testing,
this pandemic status will be with us for a very long time.
unfortunately,
all this is new to us.
"we are making it all up as we go along", because we have had no previous similar experience before, to guide us...
The covid virus right now is not as deadly as the original wuhan or delta variant right? so people right now don't care anymore in the rise of number of cases.
sabi ko nga sa inyo tsikoteers pag usapan corrupt nasa medical community. Puro cover-up mga yan. WALA ACCOUNTABILITY.
KAYA NAPAKABWENAS KO DAHIL SA INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY AKO NAKIKINIG. WALANG KWENTA MGA TOP SCHOOL NG PINAS NGA-NGA HAHAHA!!!
even if there are new variants and sub-variants,
there are still the older models to deal with. we probably see less of them now, because our older vaccines against them are effective.
the older vaccines probably enable the folks to survive the older version viruses, so's they can fall victim to the newer versions.
just keep wearing the masks, folks.
heh heh.
sa pagkaintindi ko older variants no longer exist
like the original 2019 variant from wuhan (which vaccines are based on)
it no longer exists
it's been overtaken long ago by more infectious variants
i've never come across any news where scientists were still detecting wuhan variant or UK variant or delta variant sa genome sequencing
T-cell activation of the original wuhan variant vacines that still barely worked on BA.1 and BA.2 variants don't work anymore on BA.5
What Omicron’s BA.4 and BA.5 variants mean for the pandemicHow well do vaccines work against the variants?
Lab studies consistently suggest that antibodies triggered by vaccination are less effective at blocking BA.4 and BA.5 than they are at blocking earlier Omicron strains, including BA.1 and BA.22–6. This could leave even vaccinated and boosted people vulnerable to multiple Omicron infections, scientists say. Even people with hybrid immunity, stemming from vaccination and previous infection with Omicron BA.1, produce antibodies that struggle to incapacitate BA.4 and BA.5. Research teams have attributed that to the variants’ L452R and F486V spike mutations.
One explanation for this is the observation that BA.1 infection after vaccination seems to trigger infection-blocking ‘neutralizing’ antibodies that recognize the ancestral strain of SARS-CoV-2 (the one that vaccines are based on) better than they recognize Omicron variants2,7. “Infection with BA.1 does induce a neutralizing antibody response, but it appears to be a little bit narrower than one would expect,” leaving people susceptible to immune-escaping variants such BA.4 and BA.5, says Ravindra Gupta, a virologist at the University of Cambridge, UK.

malayo na sobra sa original variant ang latest variants
sa sobrang layo pati cross-reactivity nawala na
Delta re emerged in the UK but will probably a one off..
The rise of delta plus – why are Covid cases soaring again in the UK?
Dr David Strain, senior clinical lecturer at the University of Exeter who specialises in viral infections, says there has "recently been a resurgence" of the delta variant.
“We are keeping a very careful eye on it, as that is probably the most fatal [variant] we've seen," he says.
Delta was just starting to raise its head before omicron took over last year. Two weeks ago there were 40 UK cases. This week, there were more than 460.
“That may be merely an aberration, but if it’s a trend it’s very concerning," says Dr Strain.
