    I was only saying to someone yesterday that at one point very early on, the world had the chance to eliminate #SarsCOV2

    We had an unprecedented global connection and we blew it.

    Yes, you're so right, they just aren't quite the same and it's awful to see.

    ABSTRACT
    Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2; family Coronaviridae, genus Betacoronavirus, subgenus Sarbecovirus) has caused millions of deaths, prompting a need for better understanding of coronavirid emergence and spillover to humans. As an evaluation of how some features of SARS-CoV-2, unique among sarbecoviruses, may have been acquired from related viruses, we conducted phylogenetic and recombination analyses to compare the frequency of recombination among coronavirids across vs within genera, subgenera, and species. Among known betacoronaviruses, we identified 199 (183 intraspecies, 16 interspecies, but no intersubgenera) recombination events. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that the ancestry of interspecies events was limited and less prone to affect 5′ regions of coronavirid genome open reading frame 1 (ORF1) than intraspecies events. On the contrary, interspecies events were significantly more prone to impact the 3′ end (ORF6–ORF8 and the nucleocapsid protein [N] ORF), suggesting the existence of region-specific constraints on recombination. This work substantiated that recombination among betacoronaviruses is limited by the genome similarity between their parental viruses. We conclude that SARS-CoV-2 likely acquired unique features through recombination with closely related circulating sarbecoviruses (most likely from the same species) that co-existed geographically.

    Abstract
    We report SARS-CoV-2 KP.1, KP.1.1, KP.2 and KP.3 neutralizing antibody titers. They displayed increased immune evasion compared to JN.1, especially KP.1 and KP.3, for participants who experienced BF.7/BA.5.2 breakthrough infection or received bivalent (delta/BA.5) vaccine boosting. Second XBB sub-variants breakthrough infection enhanced the neutralization responses. HK.3-JN.1 RBD-heterodimer induced balanced and potent neutralizing responses against recently-circulating SARS-CoV-2 sub-variants in mice, supporting to replace the COVID-19 antigen containing JN.1 or its sub-variants.

    Human-to-human transmission of the highly pathogenic Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is currently inefficient. However, there is concern that the virus might mutate and thereby increase its transmissibility and thus pandemic potential. The pandemic SARS-CoV-2 depends on a highly cleavable furin motif at the S1/S2 site of the viral spike (S) protein for efficient lung cell entry, transmission, and pathogenicity. Here, by employing pseudotyped particles, we investigated whether augmented cleavage at the S1/S2 site also increases MERS-CoV entry into Calu-3 human lung cells. We report that polymorphism T746K at the S1/S2 cleavage site or optimization of the furin motif increases S protein cleavage but not lung cell entry. These findings suggest that, unlike what has been reported for SARS-CoV-2, a highly cleavable S1/S2 site might not augment MERS-CoV infectivity for human lung cells.

    Summary
    Background
    Existing studies on SARS-CoV-2 infection have mainly focused on severe clinical outcomes; understanding of the clinical severity profile of general community infections is poor. We aimed to assess and compare the clinical profiles of infections with SARS-CoV-2 omicron (B.1.1.529) subvariants in a representative community cohort in Hong Kong during periods of BA.2, BA.4/5, and XBB dominance.

    Methods
    In this prospective cohort study in Hong Kong, a representative community cohort of individuals aged at least 5 years were recruited by random-digit dialling and underwent weekly rapid antigen testing for SARS-CoV-2, irrespective of symptoms, during three periods from March 1, 2022, to Oct 31, 2023, in which the BA.2, BA.4/5, or XBB subvariants were dominant. We analysed the likelihood of symptoms, as well as the patterns, severity, and duration of symptoms and their associations with participant demographics and vaccination and infection histories.

    Findings
    1126 (11·0%) of 10 279 participants in the BA.2 period, 830 (6·6%) of 12 588 in the BA.4/5 period, and 633 (11·1%) of 5690 during the XBB period tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection on rapid antigen tests. Community infections were generally mild, with asymptomatic infections comprising 22·0–25·0% of infections. No hospitalisations or deaths occurred as a direct result of SARS-CoV-2 infection during the study period. Compared with children aged 5–17 years, a higher likelihood of being symptomatic on infection was found for adults aged 18–59 years during the period of BA.2 dominance and adults aged 60 years or older during XBB dominance. Most (>90·0%) participants with symptomatic infections reported respiratory and systemic symptoms. Up-to-date vaccination with a regimen containing the BNT162b2 vaccine, compared with those without an up-to-date vaccine, was associated with a reduced likelihood of symptoms on infection during the period of BA.2 dominance and of severe symptoms causing substantial disturbance to daily life (grade 3 symptoms) during periods of BA.2 and BA.4/5 dominance, whereas no association was observed during the period of XBB dominance. Previous SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with a reduced likelihood of symptoms on infection during BA.4/5 and XBB dominance and of severe symptoms during XBB dominance. Reports of severe symptoms increased over the three periods, from 236 (27·7%) of 852 symptomatic participants during BA.2 dominance to 176 (37·1%) of 475 during XBB dominance. The duration of symptoms was longest in the BA.2 period (median 10·0 days [95% CI 9·0–10·0]) and similar in the other two periods (8·0 [8·0–9·0] during BA.4/5 dominance and 8·0 [8·0–9·0] during XBB dominance). A symptom duration of 60 days or longer was reported only during the period of BA.2 dominance, in six (0·7%) of 824 infections.

    Interpretation
    SARS-CoV-2 infections were generally mild, but not increasingly so, along the evolution of omicron subvariants in this highly vaccinated population. About a third of participants with symptomatic infections reported that the symptoms severely affected daily life even if they were not admitted to hospital, resulting in morbidity, absence from work or school due to illness, productivity loss, and increased medicoeconomic burden. A gradual reduction in the association of vaccines and increase in the association of previous infection with the symptom profile, possibly reflecting the effects of immune escape and waning, were observed over the study period.

    Abstract
    Since 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has undergone mutations, resulting in pandemic and epidemic waves. The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, crucial for cellular entry, binds to the ACE2 receptor exclusively when its receptor-binding domain (RBD) adopts the up-conformation. However, whether ACE2 also interacts with the RBD in the down-conformation to facilitate the conformational shift to RBD-up remains unclear. Herein, we present the structures of the BA.2.86 and the JN.1 spike proteins bound to ACE2. Notably, we successfully observed the ACE2-bound down-RBD, indicating an intermediate structure before the RBD-up conformation. The wider and mobile angle of RBDs in the up-state provides space for ACE2 to interact with the down-RBD, facilitating the transition to the RBD-up state. The K356T, but not N354-linked glycan, contributes to both of infectivity and neutralizing-antibody evasion in BA.2.86. These structural insights the spike-protein dynamics would help understand the mechanisms underlying SARS-CoV-2 infection and its neutralization.

  22. “Is vaccine-induced immunity better than immunity from infection?

    Vaccine-induced immunity is better because it’s safer. When you get infected with COVID, symptoms from the infection wreak havoc on your body. Whether or not you’ve been infected or vaccinated previously, the COVID booster is going to strengthen your immune responses to high levels and do so in a safe way.

    Can I still get COVID if I’m vaccinated?

    People who are vaccinated can still get COVID, but it is much more likely they will experience mild symptoms. Vaccinated people are much less likely to experience severe illness or get so sick that they need to be hospitalized. Data continue to show that those who are hospitalized with COVID are largely people who have not received a COVID vaccine within the past 12 months.

    Particularly for people at higher risk of severe COVID, vaccination is an essential tool for reducing COVID complications, hospitalization, and death.

    Can you get the flu shot and the COVID vaccine at the same time?

    Yes! In fact, studies have shown that people who decide to spread out their vaccines into separate appointments often don’t follow through with getting both. We’ve also seen that the immune response generated by each vaccine does not change based on whether they are administered at the same time or separately.

    It’s important to remember that many of the same populations at high risk of experiencing severe illness from COVID are also at high risk of severe influenza. Especially for these vulnerable populations, it’s a good idea to time your vaccines together.”

  24. Quartet-Nanocages könnten die Zukunft der #Impfstoffe sein. Diese #Nanocages verknüpfen vier verschiedene Teile des #Spike-Proteins von #Coronaviren und regen dadurch die Produktion breiter neutralisierender #Antikörper an. Besonders spannend: Selbst wenn das #Virus mutiert, bleibt die #Schutzwirkung bestehen. In Studien zeigten Tiere mit bestehender #SARSCoV2-Immunität nach #BoosterImpfungen eine verbesserte #Antikörperantwort.

  25. #StanfordMedicine study flags unexpected cells in lung as suspected source of severe #COVID | med.stanford.edu/news/all-news “Important covid clues! Researchers find that #macrophages - the cells that usually scavenge and destroy viruses - are the cells most susceptible to being infected/hijacked by #SARSCoV2. To enter macrophages, SARS-CoV-2 uses #CD209 receptors (not #ACE2). Interfering with SARS-CoV-2/CD209 binding could be a promising target for new and better prevention and/or treatment!”
