Reports about XBB.1.5: terrible. Immune escape = your vaccine will not work. Please use N95s if you have access to them; protect yourselves and others.
"Young & healthy" is not invincible. Way too many people saying they thought "it won't happen to me" and now "you don't want this, it's worse than death."
Via Akiko Iwasaki (who's been working on a nasal vaccine; interviewed for Knowable about long COVID):
A very important and informative thread about why the Omicron XBB.1.5 subvariant is now dominating in the Northeast US and is expected to spread. Please protect yourselves and others by wearing N95 masks. I am truly concerned about the #longCOVID wave that follows this infection.

1/ HOW DIFFERENT IS XBB.1.5 AND HOW WORRYING IS IT? Very. This graphic from the linked paper shows it is as different from the Wuhan variant (now known as WT = Wild Type) of SARS-COV-2 as WT is from SARS-COV (the virus which caused SARS1 in 2003).
...
11/ In short, this is an emergency and we must shift immediately to both SUPPRESS TRANSMISSION and update vaccines as quickly as possible.
We have known this for a long time. We know it even more now. We must act before it is too late.

Biến thể coronavirus XBB.1.5 có phải mối nguy toàn cầu?
Biến thể phụ mới của Omicron đang làm tăng số ca nhiễm, nhưng vẫn chưa rõ liệu nó có gây ra làn sóng nhiễm bệnh hay nhập viện hay không.
XBB.1.5 là biến thể phổ biến thứ hai ở Mỹ, gây ra 28% số ca trên toàn quốc và hơn 70% số ca ở vùng đông bắc, theo dự đoán của Trung tâm Dự phòng và Kiểm soát bệnh dịch (CDC) ở Atlanta, Georgia. Mức độ phổ biến của nó trên toàn cầu cũng đang tăng lên.

XBB Variant Attacks Digestive System?
XBB has recently become the most popular Omicron variant in the US, which mainly attacks the gastrointestinal tract and causes diarrhea. In China, a rush for laxatives was followed by a rush for antipyretics, and Norfloxacin becomes the main purchasing target together with montmorillonite powder.
However, according to Li Tongzeng, chief physician of the respiratory and infectious diseases department of Beijing You An Hospital, Norfloxacin is ineffective for diarrhea caused by viruses, which can usually be relieved on its own within one to three days.

"What’s unusual about XBB is that it was the product of two different forms of Omicron that both infected someone. As they were replicating inside that person, their genes were mixed together, and then we got a new hybrid. And this hybrid is very good at evading defenses from vaccines and infections." - NYT.
Hey, how about everyone #WearAMask and stop allowing infections to mutate inside y'all?!
