'All the latest evidence reassures us that going forward, long COVID won’t be as significant to the long-term impact of pandemic as we thought it might be.'
We're not seeing big differences in Marin with symptoms from BA.5. The literature from abroad suggests it's not more virulent than other strains of omicron, so we're fortunate.
That interval gets shorter and shorter with new variants that are able to evade the immune system more easily. Right now it looks like it's possible to be reinfected even within a month of past infection, but we will need a couple more weeks of data to see what’s happening. The evidence is clear that the reinfection risk is high enough to where people should get the protection of the second booster if eligible.
It is worth noting that we have never seen this long an interval of high transmission in the region. We've had three months of over 100 cases per day day. That's the longest interval of high transmission since the start of the pandemic, and our hospitalizations are still low. We also know that our cases have never been more undercounted than they are now.
We’re confident that the risk of being hospitalized due to COVID-19 is diminishing relative to earlier stages of pandemic. The virus is just not as damaging to us as a community as it has been despite us seeing more cases. And that’s because the virus itself has evolved to being less virulent, and also because our immunity as community is better than it was in previous waves.
