On an INDIVIDUAL basis, Omicron may be roughly as severe as influenza & much less for those up to date on vaccinations. But on a SOCIETAL basis because the number of infections is so high in such a short time, the risk of overwhelmed health care is much higher. Vax. Boost. Mask.
A sketch to explain how a new variant may appear milder even with no change in underlying virulence. This can occur because, when calculating the fraction of cases that are severe, the denominator now includes many re-infections that had previously been averted. A thread. 1/8

Our new meta-analysis provides evidence that Trichomoniasis in pregnancy leads to adverse birth outcomes. Wonderful collaboration of @UAB_ID @TulaneSPHTM@TulaneMedicine!
I say it all the time but will say it again...trichomonas should not be a neglected STI! Our newest paper provides additional data on adverse birth outcomes associated with this infection @UAB_ID @DrJeanneM@pkissing@libbyvangerwen @jilldeaver
