Omicron variant XBB.1.5 has been all over the news as cases reportedly exploded last week. The CDC has revised these numbers with cases counts increasing but not to the extent first reported. We discuss new numbers and why the initial overestimate! https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-trac…
XBB.1.5 was first identified in the United States, but now is being reported in a number of European countries as well. The World Health Organization reports it has spread to 29 different countries. https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/news-ev…
COVID-19 case counts in the USA remain stable, but are increasing in the Northeast where XBB.1.5 is circulating to the highest degree. Hospitalizations in the Northeast, particularly in the elderly are highest since the surge 1 year ago.
COVID-19 in China is surging. Some are reporting as many as 250 million causes in December, although the official numbers they are reporting are massively lower. The COVID-19 Omicron variants circulating in China are primarily BF.7 and BA.5.2, with BQ.1 and XBB being a small number of cases. https://www.science.org/content/artic…
Influenza cases remain on the downtrend and will hopefully stay that way! People are continuing to monitor for a potential second wave! https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm
