France is the 1st country to have seen the BQ.1.1 variant become dominant (now >60%). How is it doing vs the US (now ~35%)? —Both show similar rise in Covid hospital admissions —France's booster rate is much higher than the US

Dr. Topol, what are your thoughts on this?

The boosters did not trigger a robust response against BQ.1.1. People with a prior history of infection who received the booster had a stronger response

San Francisco is seeing just about every respiratory disease on the planet right now… 7 days of sickness, then 3 days better, then a rebound. A trip to the grocery store or a school is a lesson in coughing. Rough month ahead.
