Your baggy mask isn’t going to cut it against Omicron, epidemiologist warns
After almost two years of living with a pandemic, you would think we’d all be mask experts by now.
But the COVID-19 landscape is changing rapidly, and the things we thought would protect us are suddenly in need of a serious rethink — including, and perhaps especially, masks.
Those cloth and blue surgical masks so many of us have been wearing? They’re unlikely to cut it against Omicron, says an expert.
Super Immunity! – sorta like Logan’s Run “Renewal” – So why were we forced to wear the crap masks then? Nothing inspires confidence like being lied to.
Lab study suggests those who survive breakthrough COVID-19 infection may have ‘super immunity’
A new study that tested live SARS-CoV-2 against blood samples in a laboratory setting is suggesting that those who survive a breakthrough infection may have some sort of ‘super immunity’ against variants.
The study, which was published Thursday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, focused on how those with breakthrough infections had a subsequent strong immune response against the Delta variant, which researchers believe is an indication that there will be a strong response against other variants as well.
Thank goodness the masks don’t work.
