Number of enumerated Omicron subvariants now 119

That is where people have got to in updating the number of Omicron variants anyhow. There are more likely 300 to 400 of them, but the number of variants are going too fast to keep track of of all of them. Variants like B.2.23 and BA.2.33 had been seen in Australia and the USA but…

Some of the Omicron Subvariants BA.2.* seems to be more deadly than BA.2

The Case fatality rate (CFR)= deaths/cases has risen in both Denmark and the UK, and the only think I can put it down are the new subvariant BA.2.9 in Denmark and UK, and possibly also BA.2.3, and BA.2.23 in the UK. In January the CFR in Denmark dropped to 0,05% but is now at 0.7%…

The BA.2 subvariants > BA.1 subvariants in the UK. Deaths Rising.

Just a quick update on what the variants are doing in the UK. It seems the BA.2 subvariants and all growing while the BA.1 subvariants are being replaced. BA.2, BA.2.3, BA2.9, BA.2.10, and BA.2.12 are all growing in prevalence with BA.2.9 probably growing the fastest and BA.2 the slowest. All the BA.1 subvariants are reducing…

The subvariants of Omicron have exploded. Australia is getting buried in new subvariants from within and from the outside. Welcome to the “New World Disorder”.

Last I looked (a couple of day ago) we had 54 subvariants of Omicron listed by GISAID. BA.1 was the one that swept the world first. BA.2 looked more ominous as its spike protein was quite different to BA.1 and BA.3, and it subvariants are the ones I have been most concerned about. Look at…

Was Denmark too hasty to declare that the coronavirus was just a flu and life was now normal again?

When Denmark’s Case Fatality Rate (CFR) dropped to 0.04% (7-day-runng average) in January 2022, the government of Denmark declared the pandemic was over. With a CFR so low, noting that the CFR for influenza is about 0.1 to 0.15%, that made reasonable sense. In early February most restrictions were subsequently lifted. It was said that…

Australia has BA.2.3. Looks ominous.

Omicron subvarinat B.A.2.3 is growing in Australia. It looks ominous as the Philippines Hong Kong and South Korea recently had high CFRs and BA.2.3. CFR=Case Fatality Rate = Death Rate
