COVID-19: BA2 Starting to Uptick,
Hospitals Taking N95 Masks from Patients
Dr Kevin Kavanagh from Health Watch USAsm
discusses the BA.2 variant and how it is expected to cause an uptick in
cases. Severity of illness appears to be the same as the Omicron Variant
but it will vary widely between individuals depending upon their
immunological status, vaccine dosages and previous exposure to the
virus. At this time, the wearing of masks indoors, especially in areas
of high viral spread is advisable. This will not only help to protect
the individual but also others who may be immunocompromised. There is
also a report in Politico of hospitals removing a patient's N95 mask and
giving them a surgical mask. This makes little sense with a highly
contagious aerosolized virus. The BA.2 Variant is up to 80% more
contagious than Omicron and may be as or even more contagious than
measles. Jack Pattie Show. Mar. 21, 2022.
