"BA.6" - The Next Covid Scourge in the UK?
By: Steve Date: August 15, 2023, 2:44 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY - While the U.S. is coming to terms with Covid variant
EG.5, a new Covid variant (currently dubbed BA.6) has begun to
make it's presence felt in the United Kingdom (U.K.). It is
believed to have over 30 mutations in it's spike protein. BA.6
has already been detected in Denmark and Israel. It is too soon
to tell how deadly or infectious BA.6 is in comparison to the
current dominant Covid strain in the U.K., EG.5.1.
NOTE - When this post was first written on August 15, 2023, the
strain in question was being called "BA.6." It has since been
reclassified as "BA.2.86."
