Why Covid is still flooring some people
What is it like to catch Covid now?
It is a question I have been pondering since a friend was surprised by how
roughed up they were by it. Their third bout of Covid was significantly
worse than the previous time they caught it.
A familiar tale has been a week of coughing, headaches or fever followed by
a lingering fatigue.
But scientists specialising in our immune system warn Covid is still causing
stonking infections that may be worse than before and knock us out for weeks.
Why it feels like everyone suddenly has Covid
Here’s why this wave is probably worse than official data suggests
Federal data suggests that the current increases have stayed far below earlier
peaks and notable surges. But judging by word of mouth among family, friends
and coworkers, it can seem like everyone knows someone who’s sick with Covid-19
right now.
What the Latest Evidence Actually Says About Long COVID
A new study looks at data from patients two years after their initial infection.
It contains some alarming figures—until you dig into them
The chance that you will be one of—maybe—five people out of many thousands who
have long-term fatigue two years after COVID-19 is quite low. It certainly
isn’t as worrying as the health issues posed by heart disease or cancer.
CDC says there are no plans to bring back mask mandates, even as Covid cases rise
The CDC could sign off on the new Covid boosters as soon as Sept. 12.
Will that be soon enough to ward off a winter surge?

Novavax's updated COVID shot shows immune response against subvariant Eris
For the fall season, COVID vaccine makers are gearing up with updated
shots that target the Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5. Both Moderna (MRNA.O)
and Pfizer (PFE.N) have said their shots show promise against Eris too.
COVID-19 is rising again in the US. How worried should you be?
"There has been an increase, and we attribute this to not only Eris
or E.5, the newest variant out there, but other omicron subvariants
that are spreading around," says Schaffner.
The EG.5 subvariant, a close relative of the omicron XBB family, now
accounts for the largest proportion of COVID-19 cases in the
country, making it the dominant strain in the U.S., per the latest
CDC data. While EG.5 is likely more transmissible compared to its
predecessors, there's no evidence it causes more severe disease or
different symptoms
Scientists race to understand highly mutated coronavirus variant spotted in four countries, including the US
The new variant, called BA.2.86 and nicknamed Pirola by variant hunters
on social media, has more than 30 amino acid changes to its spike
protein compared with its next closest ancestor, the BA.2 subvariant
of Omicron, according to Dr. Jesse Bloom, who studies viral evolution
at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle.

it was tracking a new, highly mutated lineage of the virus that causes COVID-19
The lineage is named BA.2.86, and has been detected in the United States,
Denmark and Israel
The new lineage, which has 36 mutations from the currently-dominant XBB.1.5
COVID variant "harkens back to an earlier branch" of the virus, explained
Dr. S. Wesley Long, medical director of diagnostic microbiology at Houston
Methodist.
Scientists unravel a major mystery behind the Covid-19 pandemic
A new clue to the reason some people come down with long COVID
The new research, which was an international collaboration
between dozens of scientists, describes how some people
carry a version of a single gene, FOXP4, that is
associated with developing long COVID. Longet calls the
new research an "important element" in understanding why
some people's COVID symptoms seemingly never resolve.

Pfizer's vaccine that protects adults ages 60 and older from respiratory
syncytial virus, or RSV, was slightly less effective after 18 months,
according to clinical trial results. The data suggests that the
protection the vaccine provides wanes over time, similar to what is
observed with shots for Covid and the flu
COVID-19 Cases Are Rising. Should You Get a Booster Shot?
Earlier this year, US health officials decided to update the booster
in the fall, but have yet to announce which variant to target,
although it’s likely the new shot will focus on some version of the
currently circulating XBB virus variant.
Until that happens, does it make sense to get another booster shot to
better protect against getting infected? The answer to that really
depends on your individual situation, says Dr. David Wohl, professor
of medicine at the Institute of Global Health and Infectious Diseases
at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. For people who are
older, and may be traveling or otherwise find themselves in close
quarters with other people, getting a booster now may make sense,
especially if their last shot was more than three months ago. "If
people are doing square dancing, playing bingo or going on cruises,
and it’s been a long time since they were last vaccinated, they
should probably top up sooner rather than later," says Wohl.
What to Do If You Catch COVID-19 This Summer
COVID-19 hospitalizations and cases rise in possible summer wave
The 10 percent uptick is the largest increase in two key indicators since December 2022
While this current uptick is small, it is a notable reversal after months of declining
coronavirus numbers across the country.
Next Generation COVID-19 Vaccines
Next generation vaccines include those with enhanced breadth of protection to
variants, improved durability, and those with an enhanced ability to block
infection/transmission including mucosal vaccines, relative to currently
approved vaccines. NIAID is interested in working with vaccine manufacturers
with next generation novel vaccine candidates currently at a development
stage ready to enter clinical trials or capable of entering clinical trials
by January 2024.

New COVID-19 Variants Giving "Arcturus" a Run for its Money
Omicron subvariants EG.5 and XBB.2.3 are making inroads in the U.S.
The so-called "arcturus" coronavirus strain is the most prominent variant
circulating in the U.S., but several other omicron subvariants are increasing
across the country.
XBB.1.5, which will be the target of the fall COVID-19 vaccines, is not far behind
at 16% of new infections in recent weeks
But other omicron subvariants are making inroads in the U.S., including EG.5 and
XBB.2.3. Each strain was responsible for 13% of new infections over the last
two weeks
The World Health Organization is monitoring XBB.2.3, which is also increasing
globally. According to WHO, some countries are seeing a rise in COVID-19 cases.
What To Know About "Arcturus": New Covid Variant Causing Pink Eye - may 2023
U.S. study finds 1 in 10 get long COVID after omicron, starts identifying key symptoms
There’s less risk of getting long COVID in the omicron era than in the pandemic’s
earlier waves, according to a study of nearly 10,000 Americans.
By some estimates, roughly 1 in 3 of COVID-19 patients have experienced long COVID.
We’ve reached the point where almost everybody has had COVID or been vaccinated. What does that mean?
The CDC data also shed some light on the need for continued vaccination
efforts, indicating that the prevalence of hybrid immunity is lowest
in adults older than 65 — a population at high risk for severe illness
or death, and the age group with the highest COVID-19 vaccination rates
in the U.S.

Many Americans are also able to receive free at-home COVID-19 tests through their

symptoms with people who did not receive Paxlovid.

Local Boston university scientists banded together in search of "ultimate" COVID vaccine — and they may have found it
This vaccine trains the body to recognize and attack a different part of the COVID-19 virus
This vaccine differs from the others currently on the market due to the portion of the virus being
targeted, according to the Globe. Moderna’s and Pfizer’s vaccines teach the human body to recognize
and fight off the spike protein cells found on the virus. As the virus evolves, these can change.
However, this new vaccine produced by the Canadian company Acuitas Therapeutics targets a different
area of the virus, less prone to change or variants, according to the Globe.
This type of vaccine is called a “pan-variant” and could eliminate the need for
rounds of booster shots. Other universities are also working on this technology.
Although this vaccine hasn’t been tested on humans, some small clinical trials
have begun, according to Gifford.
