Experts reached a consensus that there’s a roughly 20 percent chance during the next two years of an outbreak rivaling the onslaught of illness from omicron.
Barouch said that even if a variant emerges that evades protections intended to counter omicron, it could still be stymied by the immune system’s T-cells — white blood cells that help fight infections, and which Barouch credited as “the unsung heroes of the pandemic.”“While the variants escaped antibody responses, so far none of the variants … escaped T-cell response,” Barouch said. “If a new variant emerges and also escapes from T-cell responses, then we will be more back at square one.
The GOP-led House last week passed debt ceiling legislation that would rescind unspent funding set aside for the coronavirus response — a total that some estimate is“Billions of dollars sitting out there [for] covid, never spent, just sitting there. We claw that back so the American taxpayer can save the money,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said on Fox News last week.
“Rescinding money for COVID response would be a mistake,” Inglesby wrote in a text message. “The country is in such a different, better place now on COVID, but this disease is not gone — there are still 150 Americans dying of COVID every day.”
