Strong immune responses to harmless human coronaviruses also provide some protection against SARS-CoV-2. This cross-reactive immune response is an important piece of the puzzle of how to achieve comprehensive coronavirus immunity. media.uzh.ch/en/Press-Relea… UZH Medical Virology

Here is how B.1.1.529 (#Omicron #B11529) compares to Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta variants. Omicron has highest novel Spike mutations including striking cluster on the "crown" suggesting significant selection pressure & antigenic distinction from prior strains (Credits: nference)

Im Kanton ZH wurde heute die 1. #Omikron-Infektion bestätigt. Die betroffene Person landete am 23.11 aus Südafrika kommend, hatte seit dem 25.11. Symptome und liess sich am 26.11. testen. Sie befindet sich in Isolation, 4 Kontaktpersonen sind in Quarantäne.

Martin Balmer, Leiter Pflege, Klinik für Intensivmedizin am Kantonsspital Aarau, in der #SRFArena über die nun unvermeidbare #Triage: "Ich wage nicht, daran zu denken, was es mit Menschen macht, wenn sie Angehörige auf diese Art verlieren - weil es keinen Platz hat".
