XBB.1.5 is as different from SARS-CoV-2 as SARS-CoV-2 is from SARS1 (!)

--RT

HOW DIFFERENT IS XBB.1.5 AND HOW WORRYING IS IT?

Very. This graphic from the linked paper shows it is as different from the Wuhan variant (now known as WT = Wild Type) of SARS-COV-2 as WT is from SARS-COV (the virus which caused SARS1 in 2003).

@yaneerbaryam @whn The element of creating immune dysregulation, creating new vulnerabilities to existing viruses and bacteria is the part of the story being left out.
People dying of pneumonia - after a covid infection - because they have no immunity, and then not attributing it to what is effectively airborne AIDS is the new propaganda. is one thing, but if people understood the analogy to AIDS maybe they wouldn't treat it as innocuously. The "with or from" rubbish has to go.
