Omicron is already among the most infectious human viruses known to science.40 While even greater infectiousness (such as the sub-variant BA.2 has exhibited) is possible, to become dominant a new variant would likely need to also partially or fully evade prior immunity, including that provided...
In our intestines, there are “friendly” gut flora: viruses, bacteria, and fungi that help us digest food and assist in other fun bodily functions. Some experts suggest that in a healthy state of being, 90% of our flora are good guys and the other 10% are potential bad guys (aka pat...
