Your questions on COVID answered! Here's what we know about #COVID19 right now and how to keep you and your family protected. ⬇️

Using the word ‘surge’ for recent Covid seems unhelpful to me. The increase is real, but tiny in both proportion and absolute numbers compared with others over the last few years. I think it’s misleading to use the same term for this and eg delta, BA.1 or BA.2. Don’t devalue it

New data from the Barouch Lab on BA.2.86. 1. NAb responses to BA.2.86 were lower than to BA.2 but were comparable or higher than to current circulating variants. 2. NAb titers to all variants including BA.2.86 increased following XBB infection
