Covid-19: Omicron Surge May Be tipping Point, Johns Hopkins Says

Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Professor and Virologist Andrew Pekosz discusses the easy transmission of omicron and the next steps in the evolution of Covid-19. The Bloomberg School of Public Health is supported by Michael R. Bloomberg, founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News.

But I thought the delta surge was the tipping point?

[Punaeased]

I've contracted the F.U. variant and it's getting stronger everyday

[drsuzuki]

I wear my N95 mask even when I'm alone in the woods. 😀

These liars should go to prison without passing go.

[troyjones]

After every variant they’ve said the same thing until the next one pops up . 😂

“How do people stop from getting sick?” These people say everything but eating healthy and exercising

A new study published on the preprint server bioRxiv assesses the antiviral activity of stenoparib against four severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern (VOCs). This study also focuses on the inhibition of the SARS-CoV-2 Alpha variant by a combination of stenoparib and remdesivir.

The researchers of the current study also evaluated the inhibitory action of a combination of stenoparib and remdesivir against the Alpha variant. When combined, the drugs acted synergistically and plaque inhibition increased to over 90%

Since stenoparib inhibits a host protein, the antiviral activity of stenoparib should inhibit all variant strains. The current study explored the activity of stenoparib against four SARS-CoV-2 strains including the SARS-CoV-2 67 Germany/BavPat1/2020 wild-type strain (wt), as well as the Alpha, Beta, Gamma SARS-CoV-2 VOCs

*Rule #1 of a manufactured pandemic:* NEVER NEVER EVER question the test....
BBC News: "A Belgian scientific research station in Antarctica has been hit with an outbreak of Covid-19, despite workers being fully vaccinated and based in one of the world's remotest regions."

Yes, his mouth is moving. You know what that means!

"But Grandmother! What big teeth you have, " said Little Red Riding Hood her voice quivering slightly. Other experts say we have absolutely no idea whether the next variant will be weaker or will be more deadly. There is absolutely no way to know.

[Michael-utmu]

Certainly a market play here! Trillions of dollars on the table!

[KreeptOut]

When all they talk about are cases, find another video...

[lemivey]

More variants until potato head is gone.

Reason is very simple cos Omicron already changed its tissue tropism preferably it is using new receptor like alpha 2-6 sialic acid which is predominantly present in the upper respiratory tract.

[juliakos]

Is this a picture of corona virus behind Andrew Pekosz on the right side?? 🤡

[safeeffective]

90% of Omicron cases in Denmark are in people with 2 or 3 vaccine doses - SSI Denmark 12-31-2

[onecreateronelove]

Peaple talking so much about omicom, i think many people have Indian variant (Delt).

[mr.c]

Mystery like the virus variants are all named after islands off the coast of Antarctica?

[jeremysender]

It’s binding to cd147 and better hydrogen bond sites on ace2. What’s to know

[sarak]

One min its almost gone. Now its not gone. Aww he said its better wtf. Its like oh yall its better than the other one
