As several states lift their COVID-19 restrictions, health experts are warning of a new sub-variant of Omicron called BA.2.
The subvariant has been spotted in 74 countries and 47 U.S. states. Research suggests BA.2 could spread faster and may cause more severe disease, as well as be resistant to some of the current COVID-19 vaccines.
The findings come from new lab experiments in Japan, which health experts emphasize haven't been peer-reviewed.
"We are certainly watching this BA.2 this sub-lineage of Omicron because it is showing some kind of level of transmission advantage,” says Dr. Margaret Harris, of the World Health Organization.
New lab experiments from Japan show that BA.2 may have features that make it as capable of causing serious illness as older variants of COVID-19, including Delta.
Similarly to Omicron, BA.2 appears to largely escape the immunity created by vaccines. A booster shot restores protection, making illness after infection about 74% less likely.
"We certainly don't want it to run rampant, just like we don't want Omicron to run rampant,” Harris says. “We really want countries to step up the vaccination to beat all these variants."
The new research comes as COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations across the U.S. are declining. In New York, the overall positivity rate in the state is at 2.6%. On Long Island, the seven-day positivity rate is at 2.66%. There's been a 40% drop in new cases across New York since last week.

Remember that Chinese woman who showed up at Mar la go with a flash drive? Was the flash drive infected with a real virus?
That’s a good version!
So....this one’s like a BAD cold?
The Socialists/Elites KNOW they are going to be SLAUGHTERED in the 2020 Mid-Terms, so they're pulling out all the stops.
Plan accordingly, FRiends!
Health experts are devil’s work force.
Wring your hands, Jon
Pfizer needs more billionaires.
You go ahead and laugh. I’m double vaxxed, boosted x2 and VERY well masked. Ha!
SARS CoV 2 will persist.
COVID is over.
If it is a nothing burger, why did you keep jabbing yourself? They don’t work anyway. I didn’t succumb to the nonsense and I feel great too.
Simple! I do not wish to miss out on anything which requires proof of full vaccination. Since the vaccines are such nothing burgers, why give up on things I enjoy? Life is too short to live in fear and paranoia.
Not too shabby! Yeah I found the original fr Pink Dots - Lisa’s Party————
The way out for all past, present, future CCP virus releases is to>>>
#1 Get your D3 levels checked tomorrow
#2 Get your D3 levels up to the magic 94 ng/ml
#3 Take 10000 iu D3 daily along with K2....you will be at 75 ng/ml in 2 months. This dose based on a weight of 140lbs. Adjust your D3 dose accordingly
#4 D3 @10000 iu is very cheap at Amazon and Walmart online. Buy the one in the red plastic bottle from Carlyle. 400 gelcaps for $11.
Your anti-CCP is D3 and lots of it. I don’t care how much sun you get.
“Nobody knows how many viruses were cooked up in that Wuhan lab”
That lab is only allowed to operate under PLA supervision and oversight. The Han Chinese CCP takes its bio warfare very seriously, while we have idiots like Fauci and the CDC calling the shots.
The CDC headquarters are in Atlanta, Georgia. The reason it is totally useless is due to its extreme affirmative action hiring policies. Assume that Stacy Abrams clones and equivalents run the show there.
I wear a N-95 @ work..I work at a small rural Hosp. At the moment...we have zero COVID patients...Have not had any for a few days now...
I don't care if you are triple vaxxed and boosted 8 times or not...
I think NO ONE should be forced to get the VAXX. Considering now...the VAXXED are getting the COVID..and spreading the COVID..and some are dying.
FRegards...
From the album “Curse”
A great album, as is “Asylum”
corona viri were not considered especially dangerous are were allowed in level 2 and 3 labs.
I find it highly likely that this did not escape from the level IV lab, but one of the II or III labs, one of which was 100 feet away from the “Wet Market”
Costco’s Kirkland Signature Extra Strength D3 50 mcg (2,000 IU, 600 Softgels are $14.49.
Thank you for your honesty. A contact tracer at work asked Covid + nurse on phone if she was vaccinated and the nurse got angry and laughed too and said NO WAY-that she’s seen too many heart problems and strokes post vaccine and has been working in hospitals throughout course of pandemic. I wish people like her would speak out publicly- even anonymously in some way through a spokesperson or tell everyone they know to tell someone. People need to hear this from healthcare professionals that see it first hand.
