Busy day on the Cold Covid beat. We get
reporting that what we had expected is, sort of, confirmed: Covid-ο is not only displacing Covid-δ, but also functions to increase immunity. Much like Covid-δ did to Covid-β and Covid-α. I'm not willing to go all in on the silliness that 'all virus mutate to less virulent'; that Covid-β and Covid-γ and Covid-μ came to be prove that Constant Power
© is a different, very, proposition.
People infected with the heavily mutated omicron variant of Covid-19 may have increased immune protection against delta, a new study says.
As a consequence, omicron could displace delta, according to the small study published by South African scientists this week.
It is from South Africa, which some folks have disparaged (shithole country and all), but they've been finding important Covid data from the beginning. Don't blame the messenger.
Epidemiologists have warned that even if omicron proves less severe than delta, it could still overwhelm hospitals simply by spreading much faster than delta.
Don't forget that part, you antivaxx idiots.
