Show Notes

BA.3.2, or Cicada, a new COVID variant, has emerged in 25 US states, initially detected in South Africa last November. It may evade antibodies, causing concern, but symptoms remain typical. Despite COVID being less severe now, it still resulted in numerous hospitalizations and deaths last season. Experts like Dr. Robert Hopkins assure no evidence of Cicada being more severe, but surveillance is intensifying to monitor and adjust vaccines if necessary. Stay informed and vigilant with tests and boosters.
