Cohen specifies the CDC hasn’t seen anything new in terms of viruses or sickness.</p><p>"Still, she recommends taking specific precautions for people to protect themselves, like getting the updated COVID-19 vaccine, this season’s influenza vaccine, and the RSV vaccine for those over the age of 60.

In May 2023, the CDC advised healthcare facilities to take a risk-based approach when it came to universal masking in healthcare facilities. In addition to masks, Cohen urged Americans to get tested when they’re sick in order to receive proper treatment. As of November 20, 2023, households in the U.S. are eligible for another order of four free coronavirus tests.</p><p>"'CDC will continue to closely monitor respiratory illnesses including respiratory viruses and pneumonia spreading across the US and around the world,' Cohen said.

SARS2PA<p>Good Morning SARS2PAians!🍁</p><p>There's no new CDC stuff or wastewater today.</p><p>:ms_arrow_right: Since I didn't update this Fediverse version (apologize...meatspace life got in the way) in a while, and things are quiet while watching BA.2.86*, I'll add revelant info from my previous Reddit posts.</p><p>Pretty much only VOCs and specifically to keep track of BA.2.86.x.y.z currently going on.</p><p>_____________________________________________________________________<br>VOCs</p><p>Nationally, HV.1 and FL.1.5.1 still making lots of gains even though they're pretty much the largest chuck of random sequencing.: <a href="https://ibb.co/v1GCnyH" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">ibb.co/v1GCnyH</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>IN PA, the chart reflects naitonal levels but again, seeing JN.anything isn't good.: <a href="https://ibb.co/7Y4F3Lb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">ibb.co/7Y4F3Lb</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>In NY/NJ, chart shows reflection of national levels here, too.: <a href="https://ibb.co/CmYskD2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">ibb.co/CmYskD2</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>_____________________________________________________________________<br>Precautions</p><p>Want to remind everyone that upcoming for winter, BA.2.86 and JN.1 (and their relatives!) have a bonkers estimated amount of both ACE2 binding AND also immune escape.👀: <a href="https://ibb.co/fGFG4PZ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">ibb.co/fGFG4PZ</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>This means it can easily circumvent any current immunity AND potentially settle further down in the lungs, causing more short and long term damage.</p><p>JN.1 is being loudly proclaimed an incoming great concern.: <a href="https://ibb.co/zGkwKyk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">ibb.co/zGkwKyk</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>___________________________________________________________________</p><p>Please get vaccinated with the XBB formula, and also a flu shot, wear a quiality respirator in crowds, keep the air clean and be aware of social contacts.We do not want to deal with XBB, flu, and BA.2.86 all at the same time.
