In India, Arcturus has been associated with pink eye and cases are spreading in Canada, but this time we\u0027re more likely to get a \u0027wavelet\u0027
“It is an Omicron,” Shapiro said. It has all the same major Omicron mutations, with a few more of interest thrown in that are thought to help it evade immunity.Is Arcturus more contagious?
“But it’s not like something we saw with Omicron,” which was a whole other beast. Alpha, then Delta, then Omicron rapidly displaced each other. Omicron burst forth with 50 mutations that had been evolving quietly somewhere, Shapiro said — in a chronically infected person, or animal.“I think that becomes less and less likely as there is more immunity in the population,” Shapiro said.So far, not notably so, Shapiro said, though it takes time to accumulate the data from patient outcomes.
Conjunctivitis has been reported with COVID cases before, and health officials have said it’s too soon to know with certainty if XBB.1.16 is truly associated with higher rates of pink eye in already active allergy seasons.“Each variant is a little bit different in its presentations, but there’s no clear evidence that it’s particularly more virulent or causing worse outcomes,” Shapiro said.
The global emergency may be declared over, but it doesn’t remove the possibility of another “big surprise,” Shapiro said, another big burst of evolution, like we saw with Omicron.
