How concerned should California be? 2022-08-22T04:00:00Z Clinical trials and other research by Moderna suggest its retooled booster generates a stronger immune response against BA.1 and other versions of Omicron now in circulation than its existing vaccine, introduced in December 2020. News at a glance: Omicron vaccine, colonial-era exploitation, and mapping health equity 2022-08-17T04:00:00Z The risk of misleading results seems to be higher among symptomatic people infected with the latest dominant Omicron subvariant, BA.5, compared with earlier versions. California officials warn of misleading COVID rapid test results: Sick but 'negative' 2022-08-17T04:00:00Z Regulators decided to target the prevalent BA.5 variant with the bivalent vaccine, with a launch in September or October, instead of recommending immediate boosters for everyone amid a spike in cases earlier this summer. U.K. is the first country to approve reformulated COVID-19 shots 2022-08-15T04:00:00Z Heathrow, which is BA's main hub, has capped passenger numbers flying from the airport due to staff shortages. British Airways to cut 10,000 Heathrow flights 2022-08-22T04:00:00Z And a preprint study from scientists in China suggested that BA.2.75 “may prevail” following the current BA.5 wave. Omicron subvariants BA.4.6 and BA.2.75 are here. How concerned should California be? 2022-08-22T04:00:00Z Today’s dominant variant, BA.5, is the most contagious strain yet, which means that it’s increasingly difficult to avoid infection, despite precautions. Opinion | The CDC’s updated covid school guidance is ushering in a new normal 2022-08-11T04:00:00Z The new guidelines come as the highly transmissible BA.5 subvariant of Omicron continues to spread, and after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention eased its recommendation for routine surveillance testing in most circumstances. People Exposed to Covid May Need to Take as Many as Three At-Home Tests, F.D.A. Says 2022-08-12T04:00:00Z Although the latest omicron subvariant, BA.5, has fueled a wave of infections in many parts of the country over the past two months, the great majority of those cases have not required hospitalization. CDC loosens coronavirus guidance, signaling strategic shift 2022-08-11T04:00:00Z Hence, BA.5's mutation in its viral spike protein has strengthened its ability to latch onto host cells and evade some immune responses. Why BA.5 became the dominant COVID variant 2022-08-10T04:00:00Z And, as Topol wrote, the trajectory of a variant like BA.2.75 “may vary considerably between countries.” Omicron subvariants BA.4.6 and BA.2.75 are here. How concerned should California be? 2022-08-22T04:00:00Z “Particularly with BA.5, being up-to-date with vaccines is more important than ever,” he said. COVID boosters in WA: What to know amid our lackluster rate of follow-up 2022-08-06T04:00:00Z According to the CDC, BA.5 made up an estimated 85.5% of new cases nationwide for the week ending July 30. L.A. fights to prevent new COVID surge when school resumes. Here's how to keep kids safe 2022-08-06T04:00:00Z Thursday’s CDC action arrives as the agency’s latest data indicates the summer BA.5 wave has peaked. CDC loosens coronavirus guidance, signaling strategic shift 2022-08-11T04:00:00Z Currently, there is no evidence to suggest BA.5 is causing more severe disease due to its mutations. Why BA.5 became the dominant COVID variant 2022-08-10T04:00:00Z Experts in California are closely tracking two newer subvariants, BA.4.6 and BA.2.75 — themselves members of the Omicron family. Omicron subvariants BA.4.6 and BA.2.75 are here. How concerned should California be? 2022-08-22T04:00:00Z That subvariant, known as BA.2, was quickly followed by another cousin, BA.2.12.1, which took over in May. Southern California’s long COVID wave appears to be waning 2022-08-04T04:00:00Z Nationwide, an estimated 4.1% of cases were most recently attributed to BA.4.6 — up from 2.3% in early July, CDC figures show. L.A. fights to prevent new COVID surge when school resumes. Here's how to keep kids safe 2022-08-06T04:00:00Z Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, BA.5 made up an estimated 85.5% of new cases for the week ending Saturday. L.A. COVID surge appears to be cresting, but the picture is still far from good 2022-08-03T04:00:00Z In early July, federal officials announced that BA.5 became the most dominant strain in the U.S., meaning that it makes up a majority of the infections. Why BA.5 became the dominant COVID variant 2022-08-10T04:00:00Z BA.4.6 isn’t a major player in the federally defined region that includes California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii and territories in the Pacific Ocean. Omicron subvariants BA.4.6 and BA.2.75 are here. How concerned should California be? 2022-08-22T04:00:00Z There was a brief period in June when Southern California’s cases started to dip, but then yet another omicron subvariant dubbed BA.5 roared into the picture. Southern California’s long COVID wave appears to be waning 2022-08-04T04:00:00Z The sales suspension will affect BA's domestic and European flights, as well as services to Cairo and Morocco. BA suspends sales of short-haul tickets from Heathrow 2022-08-01T04:00:00Z At a briefing Thursday, Ferrer said she had talked with state officials about whether BA.5 has run its course and has fewer people to infect. L.A. COVID surge appears to be cresting, but the picture is still far from good 2022-08-03T04:00:00Z This came nearly four months after BA.2 was named the most dominant strain. Why BA.5 became the dominant COVID variant 2022-08-10T04:00:00Z In that region, BA.4.6 made up an estimated 2.2% of cases over the week ending Aug. 13. Omicron subvariants BA.4.6 and BA.2.75 are here. How concerned should California be? 2022-08-22T04:00:00Z The most recent of those, BA.5, has shown particular proficiency for reinfection — with the ability to target even those who survived an earlier Omicron case mere weeks before. More people are catching coronavirus a second time, heightening long COVID risk, experts say 2022-08-01T04:00:00Z The jump in cases stems mainly from the highly transmissible omicron offshoot, BA.5, which, in recent weeks, has become the dominant strain in the United States driving a wave of cases across the country. D.C.-area health officials urge precautions as coronavirus cases rise 2022-07-30T04:00:00Z BA.5 has been the source of so much worry among public health officials because of its ability to reinfect those who had previously come down with an earlier Omicron strain. L.A. COVID surge appears to be cresting, but the picture is still far from good 2022-08-03T04:00:00Z But just how much more transmissible is BA.5 than previous subvariants — some of which were also dubbed the most transmissible and/or concerning variants at the time? Why BA.5 became the dominant COVID variant 2022-08-10T04:00:00Z In 2010, for example, BA won a High Court injunction to stop strikes by cabin staff. Trade unions: What are they and who is allowed to strike? 2022-07-31T04:00:00Z Biden was likely infected with the BA.5 variant, O’Connor said last week, an omicron subvariant that has become dominant in the United States and is the most transmissible version of the virus yet. Biden tests positive again for coronavirus after Paxlovid ‘rebound’ 2022-07-30T04:00:00Z However, since then BA has been hit by cancellations and delays at airports such as London's Heathrow. BA-owner IAG returns to profitability after COVID-19 2022-07-29T04:00:00Z The government’s decision comes as cases of the highly contagious BA.5 variant remain high across the country. Biden Administration Plans to Offer Updated Booster Shots in September 2022-07-28T04:00:00Z Scientists are still debating exactly how much more contagious BA.5 is than its predecessors. Why BA.5 became the dominant COVID variant 2022-08-10T04:00:00Z Hospitalized patients with coronavirus infections are less of a burden in the BA.5 era, even if their numbers remain high. Some experts see less value in a new L.A. mask mandate at this stage of the pandemic 2022-07-28T04:00:00Z But mutations brought omicron, including the present subvariant, BA.5, with the “highest fitness, growth advantage, and immune evasion since the pandemic began.” Opinion | The Fauci ‘ouchie’ was a near miracle. We need another. 2022-07-27T04:00:00Z William Schaffner, a professor of infectious diseases at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, told Salon one of the "striking features of BA.5 is that it induces a fair amount of fatigue." Joe Biden is working remotely while he has COVID-19. Experts say you probably shouldn't do that 2022-07-27T04:00:00Z It’s also possible that BA.5 is starting to run out of people to infect. Necessary or excessive? Debate intensifies over potential mask rule for L.A. County 2022-07-27T04:00:00Z One Australian researcher believes that each person who got BA.5 could spread it to 18 others, but other researchers have disagreed with that claim. Why BA.5 became the dominant COVID variant 2022-08-10T04:00:00Z In February, the CDC estimated that nearly 60% of Americans had been infected by that point, months before BA.5 was detected here in May. Some experts see less value in a new L.A. mask mandate at this stage of the pandemic 2022-07-28T04:00:00Z It says the BA.5 variant, while troubling given its rate of spread, is manageable with vaccines and proper treatment and shouldn’t upend American life. Biden feels good enough to resume physical exercise: White House physician 2022-07-26T04:00:00Z The summit, which involves top administration officials, scientists and pharmaceutical executives, comes as the country faces a surge of infections from BA.5, a variant that’s an offshoot of the omicron strain. White House plans COVID-19 vaccine summit as Biden recovers 2022-07-25T04:00:00Z But others may wonder what to do: Boost again now with one of the original vaccines, or wait months for promised new formulations tailored to the latest, highly contagious omicron subvariants, BA. Boost now or wait? The dilemma of how to ride out COVID’s next wave 2022-07-25T04:00:00Z "This is the basis for the immune escape of BA.5 — our relatively poor recognition of and response to the spike protein," Topol continued. Why BA.5 became the dominant COVID variant 2022-08-10T04:00:00Z But the new omicron subvariants are shattering that trend, and BA. Omicron shattered what we know about COVID reinfections. Here’s who may be vulnerable 2022-07-25T04:00:00Z Mr. Biden’s illness comes as BA.5 has caused yet another wave of infections across the United States, including among many people who are vaccinated and have recovered from a previous Covid infection relatively recently. Biden’s Covid Symptoms Continue to Improve, Doctor Says 2022-07-24T04:00:00Z But new strains — including the highly transmissible BA.5 omicron subvariant, which is responsible for up to 80 percent of current infections in the United States — have continued to infect millions of Americans. Biden ‘likely’ has BA.5 coronavirus variant, White House says 2022-07-23T04:00:00Z Officials are worried about the surge of BA. Boost now or wait? The dilemma of how to ride out COVID’s next wave 2022-07-25T04:00:00Z The second major question around BA.5 involves how severe it is. Why BA.5 became the dominant COVID variant 2022-08-10T04:00:00Z Experts expect the rate of reinfections to continue to climb for two main reasons: BA. Omicron shattered what we know about COVID reinfections. Here’s who may be vulnerable 2022-07-25T04:00:00Z The variant, known as BA.5, is an offshoot of the omicron strain that emerged late last year, and it’s believed to be responsible for the vast majority of coronavirus cases in the country. Doctor: Biden likely has highly contagious COVID-19 strain 2022-07-23T04:00:00Z Earlier this month, administration officials said they were weighing a plan to allow all adults to receive a second booster to blunt a virus surge fueled by ever-more-contagious omicron subvariants such as BA. Coronavirus booster shots for people under 50 on hold amid drive to speed up new vaccine 2022-07-22T04:00:00Z A recent study published in Nature found BA. Boost now or wait? The dilemma of how to ride out COVID’s next wave 2022-07-25T04:00:00Z "Now these mainly women workers have won pay improvements for themselves - as well as forcing BA to make this offer to the rest of their staff too," she added. British Airways staff call off Heathrow strike action after new pay offer 2022-07-22T04:00:00Z BA.5 has quickly become dominant in the United States and has shown a remarkable ability to escape the immunity conferred by vaccinations and previous coronavirus infections. Biden tests positive for coronavirus 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z O’Connor said the results of the preliminary sequencing that indicated the BA.5 variant do not affect Biden’s treatment plan “in any way.” Doctor: Biden likely has highly contagious COVID-19 strain 2022-07-23T04:00:00Z Although it is not clear what version of the virus Ms. Harris had in April, at the time, the BA.2 subvariant of Omicron was the dominant version in the United States. Vice President Harris tests negative, and her schedule will continue as planned. 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z On July 12, the Biden administration released its plan to manage the BA. Boost now or wait? The dilemma of how to ride out COVID’s next wave 2022-07-25T04:00:00Z But the dominant virus variant in the U.S. is the omicron mutant BA.5, which is also prominent worldwide. EXPLAINER: What’s known about Biden catching COVID-19? 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z White House officials said they expect to know in less than a week whether the president himself is infected with the BA.5 variant. Biden tests positive for coronavirus 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z Perhaps the most transmissible subvariant yet, BA.5 is driving increases in positive tests, hospitalizations and intensive care admissions across the country. The risk from the coronavirus is rising in much of the United States. 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated last week that BA.5 is accounting for nearly 80 percent of new infections across the U.S. Vice President Harris tests negative, and her schedule will continue as planned. 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z She told her husband — a healthy septuagenarian — to wait for the BA.4/5 version. Boost now or wait? The dilemma of how to ride out COVID’s next wave 2022-07-25T04:00:00Z Experts say BA.5 is one of the most transmissible variants yet but they haven’t seen an increase in severity compared with previous omicron variants. EXPLAINER: What’s known about Biden catching COVID-19? 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z BA.1, the sub-variant of Omicron that circulated over the winter, was adept at causing infections even in those who had received a booster dose of vaccine just weeks earlier. Biden had received a second booster. Here’s why it wasn’t enough to prevent infection. 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z Today’s newsletter offers a guide to thinking about BA.5, including what steps the U.S. can take to minimize its toll. The Latest Covid Surge 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z Nearly seven months later, as the country faces yet another surge due to omicron subvariant BA.5, the FDA warning has yet to put an end to this off-label collection method. Some experts advise swabbing one's throat when taking at-home COVID tests. Here's why 2022-07-20T04:00:00Z Q&A Is it possible for AB to be defined but not BA? Algebra and Trigonometry 2015-02-13T00:00:00Z In just eight weeks, the BA.5 subvariant has gone from a blip in U.S. case counts to the dominant subvariant in the country, now making up more than three-quarters of new cases. ‘None of us has a crystal ball’: Scientists try to keep up with faster coronavirus evolution. 2022-07-20T04:00:00Z BA.5, which now accounts for nearly 80 percent of cases in the United States, is the most wily yet. Biden had received a second booster. Here’s why it wasn’t enough to prevent infection. 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z So far, evidence suggests that BA.5 does not cause more severe disease than other Omicron variants, as Chiu and other experts have said. The Latest Covid Surge 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z BA.2.75, which was picked up recently, already has some scientists concerned. As Omicron rages on, scientists have no idea what comes next 2022-07-19T04:00:00Z The authors said this highlights the importance of vaccine boosters in improving antibody responses against Omicron strains, including BA.5. COVID-19 vaccine boosters protect against ‘severe disease’ from Omicron, UW-led study finds 2022-07-19T04:00:00Z There is no evidence that BA.5 causes more severe disease, but the latest metrics certainly bust the myth that the virus will become milder as it evolves. ‘None of us has a crystal ball’: Scientists try to keep up with faster coronavirus evolution. 2022-07-20T04:00:00Z Detailed data collected in Qatar suggests that immunity from previous infection and vaccines is weakest against BA.5 compared with its predecessors. Biden had received a second booster. Here’s why it wasn’t enough to prevent infection. 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z The U.S., like many other countries, already has most of the tools it needs to defang BA.5. The Latest Covid Surge 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z BA.2.75 appears to be spreading in India, where it was first identified, and has been found in many other countries. As Omicron rages on, scientists have no idea what comes next 2022-07-19T04:00:00Z The BA.5 variant has become dominant in the United States and has proved especially difficult to contain because antibodies from vaccines and previous coronavirus infections offer limited protection against the latest omicron subvariant. Fauci says he will retire from government post by the end of Biden’s term 2022-07-18T04:00:00Z New federal estimates on Tuesday showed that BA.5 made up about 78 percent of new cases in the United States, as of last week. ‘None of us has a crystal ball’: Scientists try to keep up with faster coronavirus evolution. 2022-07-20T04:00:00Z The number of hospitalizations has also spiked over the past few weeks, although BA.5 does not appear to cause more severe disease than other forms of Omicron. Biden had received a second booster. Here’s why it wasn’t enough to prevent infection. 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z The BA.5 surge is unlikely to lead to major new Covid rules, like mask mandates, even in most liberal cities that have previously been the fastest to adopt them. The Latest Covid Surge 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z Two closely related subvariants named BA.4 and BA.5 are now driving infections around the world, but new candidates, including one named BA.2.75, are knocking on the door. As Omicron rages on, scientists have no idea what comes next 2022-07-19T04:00:00Z Still, she said, “we also have a lot of unknown with BA.5 and anything else that comes our way. What’s going on in our hospitals could change.” Coronavirus cases are soaring in L.A. County, but this wave is different 2022-07-18T04:00:00Z An ominous Omicron cousin, BA.2.75, is already being seen in parts of the world. ‘None of us has a crystal ball’: Scientists try to keep up with faster coronavirus evolution. 2022-07-20T04:00:00Z “BA.5 is not exactly a brand-new ballgame, but it’s definitely a new inning and we have to take it seriously,” Wachter said. 'Immense numbers': California's summer COVID wave could top winter surge amid rapid reinfections 2022-07-18T04:00:00Z The onset of BA.5 can offer a reminder that there is a middle ground between allowing Covid to dominate daily life and pretending that the pandemic is over. The Latest Covid Surge 2022-07-21T04:00:00Z The latest surge, driven by a spike of BA.5 subvariant cases in this country since May, has sent infections rising in at least 40 states, particularly in the Great Plains, West and South. Covid Rises Across U.S. Amid Muted Warnings and Murky Data 2022-07-18T04:00:00Z Now transmission in much of the nation is being driven by the spread of the BA-5 variant, in addition to the BA-4 variant, of omicron. New CDC rating for COVID in Tri-Cities means thousands of workers in WA must wear masks 2022-07-16T04:00:00Z The higher level of transmission is fueled by the BA.5 omicron subvariant — along with BA.4 the most transmissible form of the virus yet — now the dominant form of the virus in the country. COVID level ‘high’ in King County, CDC recommends masks 2022-07-16T04:00:00Z The study also did not measure the vaccines’ performance against BA.5, the latest Omicron subvariant, which appears to be driving a fresh surge of cases and hospitalizations. Vaccine protection waned this spring but boosters helped, the C.D.C. reports. 2022-07-15T04:00:00Z But, she added, “we also have a lot of unknown with BA.5, and anything else that comes our way. What’s going on in our hospitals could change.” L.A. is headed for a new COVID mask mandate. Will other counties join? 2022-07-15T04:00:00Z Complicating the country’s understanding of this BA.5 wave is a dearth of data. Covid Rises Across U.S. Amid Muted Warnings and Murky Data 2022-07-18T04:00:00Z Designated BA.2.75, the subvariant is being monitored by the World Health Organization. A new fast-spreading coronavirus subvariant found in L.A. County: BA.2.75 2022-07-15T04:00:00Z The rise is being driven largely by BA.5, a rapidly spreading Omicron subvariant that is the best yet at evading some antibodies from previous infections or vaccines. As U.S. Covid hospitalizations climb, a chronic nursing shortage is worsening. 2022-07-15T04:00:00Z Fueling this renewed stream of hospitalizations is stubbornly high transmission driven by highly infectious Omicron subvariants, chief among them BA.5. L.A. County on track for indoor mask mandate as hospitalizations rise 2022-07-14T04:00:00Z County is already experiencing a surge from the Omicron subvariant BA.5, but another strain causing concern in India has also been found locally. L.A. is headed for a new COVID mask mandate. Will other counties join? 2022-07-15T04:00:00Z It is also the most transmissible variant, even more so than its predecessors BA.1 and BA.2 that fueled surges over the summer — and which were already the most contagious viruses ever known. No, "stealth omicron" isn't evading PCR tests. Here's what's really going on 2022-07-14T04:00:00Z Scientists are exploring whether the emergence of BA.2.75 could eventually prolong or exacerbate the existing surge now being fueled by BA.5 — another highly infectious member of the Omicron family. A new fast-spreading coronavirus subvariant found in L.A. County: BA.2.75 2022-07-15T04:00:00Z But the Omicron subvariant known as BA.5 is spreading rapidly in Canada, accounting for more than 40 percent of the country’s new cases in June. Random coronavirus testing will resume for international passengers arriving in Canada at four major airports. 2022-07-14T04:00:00Z A big question is whether BA.5 will remain the dominant variant for a while. California faces a high-risk summer as ultra-infectious COVID subvariants keep coming 2022-07-14T04:00:00Z The administration is debating whether to expand the eligibility at a time when the spreading BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants are propelling another wave of infections, and hospital admissions are again climbing. Opinion | Booster shot confusion: get them now, or wait for better? 2022-07-13T04:00:00Z But one of the ways scientists could tell that a PCR test was picking up, say, BA.1, was because it exhibited what is called a "S gene target failure." No, "stealth omicron" isn't evading PCR tests. Here's what's really going on 2022-07-14T04:00:00Z Over the weeklong period that ended Saturday, BA.5 made up an estimated 65% of new cases nationwide, according to the U.S. A new fast-spreading coronavirus subvariant found in L.A. County: BA.2.75 2022-07-15T04:00:00Z And in the United States, federal health officials urged Americans this week to do more to protect themselves from Covid because of rising levels of BA.5. Random coronavirus testing will resume for international passengers arriving in Canada at four major airports. 2022-07-14T04:00:00Z A possible wrench in that scenario is the emergence of yet another Omicron subvariant, BA.2.75, which has raised concerns in India. California faces a high-risk summer as ultra-infectious COVID subvariants keep coming 2022-07-14T04:00:00Z The existing boosters are aimed at earlier variants, and may provide less protection against the BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants, which now account for 80 percent of cases in the United States. Opinion | Booster shot confusion: get them now, or wait for better? 2022-07-13T04:00:00Z According to the CDC, BA.5 made up nearly 65 percent of the coronavirus infections in the United States nearly two weeks ago. No, "stealth omicron" isn't evading PCR tests. Here's what's really going on 2022-07-14T04:00:00Z BA.5 now constitutes 65 percent of all infections in the United States. Opinion | BA.5 should not change how Americans think about living with covid 2022-07-13T04:00:00Z Experts say there is no evidence BA.5 causes more severe disease than earlier versions of the virus did. Hawaii, the last state with an indoor mask mandate for public schools, will make masks optional. 2022-07-13T04:00:00Z The new BA.5 is one of the “worst” subvariants circulating the country, infecting even those who have immunity from previous infections and vaccines. Does the COVID vaccine protect against BA.5 variant? A doctor answers. 2022-07-13T04:00:00Z “It’s well past the time when the warning could have been put out there,” said Dr. Eric Topol, head of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, who has has called BA.5 “the worst variant yet.” Experts rue simple steps not taken before latest COVID surge 2022-07-13T04:00:00Z Preliminary data from laboratory and animal studies indicate that a booster shot aimed at a previous Omicron subvariant, BA.1, generates strong immune responses to the virus. Novavax’s latecomer Covid-19 vaccine gets U.S. authorization. 2022-07-13T04:00:00Z For most people, vaccines are doing that well, including against BA.5. Opinion | BA.5 should not change how Americans think about living with covid 2022-07-13T04:00:00Z Omicron’s BA.5 variant, now dominant in new cases in the U.S., spreads very efficiently, causing new concerns for a public trying to move beyond the pandemic. Dr. Fauci: COVID-19 vaccines don’t protect ‘overly well’ against infection 2022-07-13T04:00:00Z He cited its advanced ability to escape immunity and high transmission, in contrast to the original omicron and its family variants, including BA.2 and BA.4.
