Optimism as Omicron peaks in California, but new BA.2 subtype raises questions

LA Times  

There is growing optimism that the overall Omicron surge has peaked in California, but progress across the state remains uneven. “This downward trend is encouraging, and it signals that we’re likely to have passed the peak of Omicron transmission and are beginning to see a real decline in the number of newly infected individuals,” L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said. “So far, we don’t really know how it behaves.” Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, a UC San Francisco infectious-disease expert, said Wednesday that there’s nothing in the early data right now that makes him worried about BA.2. Case numbers “are still extraordinarily high,” and “there continue to be a significant number of people in L.A. County with severe illness,” many of whom are unvaccinated, Ferrer said. That’s a problem, because “we continue to see that the booster significantly reduces COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths, particularly with Omicron,” Ferrer said.
