Marc Veldhoen @marcveld.bsky.social · 27/10/2023SARS-CoV-2 was around for the whole year, and Influnza for only a few months. SARS-CoV-2 immunity, especially in Australia, was not built up yet after successfully keeping it out. Influenza immunity is high after many rounds of infection. 430
lvdarcy.bsky.social @lvdarcy.bsky.social · 27/10/2023In 2022 we had ~5 COVID waves and by 2023 at least 80% of the population infected 1+ times. How much more prior infection would be needed to properly build immunity? 100
Marc Veldhoen @marcveld.bsky.social · 28/10/2023That is why 2023 was already a lot quieter, with 2 waves so far. The summer was wave-free and we are awaiting the first wave of autumn/winter. These things take time and are impacted by a lot of factors. 000
