Australian Government Authorities announce that the pandemic is back. Huh?
About 2 weeks after I noted that the XBB variant is coming and that it is a recombinant variant, the Australian government authorities have started making announcements about a potential new wave of covid due to the XBB recombinant variant. It is interesting that they say it is our fourth wave whereas it is our…

Covid Wave number 7 is upon us in Australia
Sigma (BA.2.75.*) is in Australia and has been for over a month but is now starting to grow in prevalence compared to Pi (BA.5.*). Don’t forget to get that fifth jab in. Klaus Schwab recommends it. The nomenclature is a bit confusing. Greek letters should have been assigned to BA.2.* (Rho), BA.5.* (Pi) and now…

It seems like the variants BA.4 and BA.5 which are only just starting in Australia (in NSW and WA last I looked) are affecting children more than any other variant. The number of children admitted to hospital under 9 years of age has overtaken the…

Any immunity to BA.1 is useless against the new Omicron variants BA.4 and BA.5
Immunity to BA.1 is useless against the new Omicron variants. I have always said that BA.2 is different to BA.1, and BA.4 and BA.5 are more like BA.2 with the extra mutation L452R found on the Delta variant, so I am not surprised by this at all. It is concerning that the immune escape of…
