New Covid Variant KP.2 Emerges in California: Potential Summer Surge Amidst Increasing Wastewater Levels and Travel

Broke On: Thursday, 30 May 2024 A new Covid variant, KP.2, is emerging and overtaking the dominant strain in California and other parts of the US. This raises concerns for a potential summer surge in cases due to travel and air-conditioned gatherings. The variant belongs to the FLiRT group of Omicron tree variants, with mutations that could enhance ACE2 binding or decrease antibody efficiency, and improve viral entry into host cells.

New RNA-Based Vaccine Strategies Offer Broad Protection Against Viruses like Influenza and SARS-CoV-2

Broke On: Monday, 15 April 2024 Scientists at the University of California and Georgia Tech have developed RNA-based vaccine strategies that target a common part of viral genomes, potentially offering broad protection against various strains including influenza and SARS-CoV-2. These vaccines are safer for vulnerable populations, as they don't rely on traditional immune responses or active proteins. Promising results in mice experiments indicate the need for further human testing.
