Reports about XBB.1.5: terrible. Immune escape = your vaccine will not work. Please use N95s if you have access to them; protect yourselves and others.

"Young & healthy" is not invincible. Way too many people saying they thought "it won't happen to me" and now "you don't want this, it's worse than death."

Via Akiko Iwasaki (who's been working on a nasal vaccine; interviewed for Knowable about long COVID):

A very important and informative thread about why the Omicron XBB.1.5 subvariant is now dominating in the Northeast US and is expected to spread. Please protect yourselves and others by wearing N95 masks. I am truly concerned about the #longCOVID wave that follows this infection.

1/ 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). ... 11/ In short, this is an emergency and we must shift immediately to both SUPPRESS TRANSMISSION and update vaccines as quickly as possible. We have known this for a long time. We know it even more now. We must act before it is too late.

David Berger's Duke Ellington Quest

You may not know the name David Berger, but aside from being a fine jazz composer, arranger and bandleader, he is a true authority on the music, and not just the life story, of Duke Ellington. Eddie Dean in the Washington Post tells of David’s latest important project concerning The Maestro.
