The term travel ban is a bit of a misnomer bc travel isn’t actually banned.

Large VA study published in NEJM directly comparing Pfizer and Moderna confirms that Moderna is somewhat better but both are good:

There are several other variants, we just aren't testing for all of them.

michigancat · « **Reply #19566 on:** December 02, 2021, 07:50:27 PM »

I wonder if Omicron's trick is it's contagious without being detected?

I keep thinking back to the rapid testing guy Michael Mina and how we just need to flood everyone with cheap (free) rapid tests and test everyone's ass daily. when you see the people testing before traveling but still spreading we need to be more precise about infections and things like testing 3 days before traveling just isn't gonna cut it.

seems pretty unlikely that it's different from normal or delta covid in that regard.

guess that depends on what you mean by a long time, but we have a pretty good idea of when it originated (or when it crossed back into humans).

Prophet Scott with a different opinion

i think i've seen enough of the early data and informed speculation to form a preliminary opinion/prediction:

for now, my expectation is that it omicron is able to escape natural immunity and probably older two dose mrna-vaccine immunity long enough to briefly render a host infectious, but not long enough to cause much serious illness or death.

not natively more transmissible than delta (probably less). no prediction currently on how it responds to boosted vaccine-induced immunity.
