WP: Omicron possibly more infectious because it shares genetic code with common cold coronavirus, study says...The omicron variant is likely to have picked up genetic material from another virus that causes the common cold in humans, according to a new preliminary study, prompting one of its authors to suggest omicron could have greater transmissibility but lower virulence than other variants of the coronavirus. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/12/04/omicron-coronavirus-transmissible-cold-variant/

"Experts now believe it's unlikely that the coronavirus will either be eradicated from the globe, like smallpox has been, or even eliminated in the United States, as polio was following near-universal vaccination. The combination of rapid mutations and too-low vaccination rates make it likely that covid-19 won't follow smallpox and polio into submission.

"This will more likely be the influenza model, where we have to track mutations annually and alter the boosters accordingly," Schaffner said. In fact, he said, efforts to create combined coronavirus-flu shots are already underway." https://www.news-medical.net/news/20211130/Omicron-and-other-coronavirus-variants-What-you-need-to-know.aspx

(CNN) Doctors don't know yet exactly how well the current Covid-19 vaccines protect people against the new Omicron variant that is now in the US, but what they do know is that people shouldn't wait to get a vaccine or booster.

"Getting the maximum protection now is more important than ever and it's not just because of Omicron," US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy told CNN Tuesday.
