Although CDC data shows that there have been only 88 million infections in the coronavirus reported in the United States, the agency thinks that Covid's scope is much higher than that. Based on antibody monitoring, the CDC estimated that there was in fact more than186 million Covid cases in the country in February 2022. An April report from the agency indicates that this meansAbout 60% Of all American adults had signs of an infection preceding in their blood at this stage. And a large part of these infections was caused by the Omicron variant, because only half of because many people had antibodies in their blood before December 2021, when the very contagious form of the virus began to spread.

We have gone a long way since BA.1, the original omicron variant dominated the country last winter. In recent months, several different subvariants from omicron have made their way to the United States, the Ba subvariant recently becoming the dominant variant of the coronavirus, according to the CDC. During a White House press briefing on July 12, the CDC directorRochelle Walinsky, MD, said that BA.5 is estimatedrepresent almost 65% Of all the new cowled cases of the country at the moment.

In the same briefing, the best advisor cocheAnthony Fauci, MD, has raised a certain number of concerns about COVID, in particular with regard to this version of the virus. "Omicron, as a large category, has been particularly problematic," said Fauci. But according to the expert in infectious diseases, BA.5 has a "growth advantage" on previous omacron subvins, and it "escapes the neutralization of induced antibodies in people by vaccination and infection" considerably.

Before the rise of the omicron, the CDC said that research indicated that the ""The risk of reinfection is low"For at least six months after an initial covid infection, due to natural immunity. But Fauci just clearly indicated that this is no longer the case. During the White House press briefing, the disease expert infectious warned that people infected with the original Omicron variant of the Oricron variants "I really do not have much good protection" against BA.5, or its subfordant sister Ba. 4, which should represent 16% of Cases actually, according to the CDC.AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB

"It's very, very clear ... This immunity decreases," said Fauci. "Whether it is immunity after infection or immunity after the vaccine, even if immediate protection after infection or the vaccine is generally good protection."

Walensky confirmed that people with an earlier infection - even with BA.1 or the recent subvariant omicron, BA.2 - are "probably still in danger" of infection by BA.4 or BA.5. But as they have been for some time, virus experts urge people to be vaccinated, noting that it can make a substantial difference even if you have been recently infected with a coide. "We know and have seen large amounts of data that have shown that if you have been infected before and you are also vaccinated, you have much more protection than previous infection," said Walensky.

According to the director of the CDC, many Americans are "subvacinated" at the moment, which means that they are not up to date on their covored vaccines. Agency data show that, while 78.4% of the total of the American population obtained at leastA dose of a cocvid vaccine , only 67% were fully vaccinated, only 47.9% obtained their first booster, and only 27.7% of eligible people had a second booster.

"If you are not vaccinated to the maximum, namely that you have not obtained your boosters according to the recommendation, then you put yourself at an increased risk that you could mitigate by being vaccgible," added Fauci.
