Good News at Last. The Covid pandemic could end after BA.4 and BA.5 waves

BA.4 and BA.5 are now known to be even weaker than BA.1 and BA.2, or maybe we have just killed all the vulnerable people already.

This is data from South Africa. The only reason I could come up with as to why they let covid rip in Australia was that ‘they’ thought if most people got exposed to Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 then they might have immunity to anything else coming, that may be worse. WRONG again, like their vaccine solution fits all.

It turns out from looking at the South African data, that BA.4 and BA.5 are the mildest yet. So what the great wise men of public health should have done is keep the restrictions in place until BA.4 and BA.5 took over. Letting it rip now was not the best idea. 50-100 people a day are dying for the economy. We know nothing about long-term effects of covid yet, or of vaccines for that matter, but this is good news nonethesame. I just hope a new variants does not come along in the meantime, because we will have our hands full (literally) dealing with monkeypox anyhow.

  1. Interesting when you look at that graph. The area under the red curve are the total number of deaths. You can see that delta was 10 times more deadly than omicron. Australia is lucky omicron came along or we would be having 500 deaths a day not 50.
