Stanford scientists say a concerning omicron subvariant is now in the Bay Area. It's called the BA2.75.2 and is being closely monitored because the body’s immune systems may not recognize it.
“It just shuts down the mechanism that makes virus particles. That's why it doesn’t matter what spike protein you have, paxlovid or Remdesivir, all these other antivirals will work,” he said.
Chin-Hong added that scientists are also monitoring another subvariant,"BF7," which is causing a surge in Europe.While Chin-Hong said there is a lull in COVID cases in the Bay Area right now, he still recommends people to get a booster shot soon to protect against getting a severe case that could send them to the hospital.
He added that getting the booster is especially important if someone is immune compromised, over 65 years old or pregnant.
