BA.3.2 and children: Interesting data point from England. x.com/gwladwr/stat...

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

#BA.3.2 Look at the 0-4 age group at 40% BA.3.2 fraction. I'd like to see a time series.

So since mid of Jan, reported cases among the 0-4 age group are above or slightly below the 65+ (first time since during the arrival of Omicron BA.1 and BA.2, when the Durchseuchung of the children happened). They are also slightly above the incidences reported during local inter-wave minima.

Nice enumeration of the fruits of operation Epic Incompetence:

Perth, a few weeks later, still at low absolute viral load in wastewater: As observed since last summer, a considerable fraction of clinical specimens are BA.3.2*. Someone in Australia knows the age distribution of those specimen donors. bsky.app/profile/domi...

#BA.3.2 What I find annoying: We have the imbecilic "these are the new symptoms of the new variant" clickbait and simultaneously the calm-mongering "no evidence for any change in severity" - while, for the first time since the advent of Omicron, there are clear indications for a change in phenotype.

#BA.3.2 I do wonder what fraction of the SARS-CoV-2 detections from the Swiss family doctor sentinel in week 50 2025 stem from children.

Either (1) a humiliating defeat, leaving America in a weaker geopolitical position and Iran a stronger one, or (2) a brief pause, as incompatible narratives and demands lead to more shooting. No matter what, it’s one of the stupidest, most unnecessary, most harmful US foreign policy choices ever.

BA.3.2 and children, a look at German hospitalisation incidences (github.com/robert-koch-...): At high BA.3.2 fraction, the 0-4 age group had higher hospitalisation incidences than the 60-79. The 5-14 age group had highest hospitalisation incidences since October 2022. bsky.app/profile/domi...

Excess mortality (65+) in Switzerland, data until March 29th. Continues considerably below the baseline, like after the large combined influenza and Covid wave end 2022 and after the large Covid 2023/24 winter wave. bsky.app/profile/domi...

BA.3.2 and children: It was x.com/gwladwr?s=20 who first noticed a connection, in February, didn’t they. Weird how scarcely they are attributed, now the phenomenon gets traction.

Evil and demented. Can the USA ever recover from this.

Lots of hand-waving in this piece about BA.3.2 and children. No discussion about the current inability to discriminate between infection frequency and virulence. One interesting point, though: The first specimen from South Africa was in fact from a 5-year-old boy. edition.cnn.com/2026/04/02/h...

Singapore, data until week 13 2026 Low ARI activity after the potential haze event. SARS2 positivity slightly higher than previously. Acc. to Xu Zou (figure, x.com/xz_keg/statu...), RF.5 was dominant in the first half of March, to no big effect.

[für RV]

Die beiden unabhängigen Abwasserprävalenzbestimmungen in Wien sind auf Tiefstständen, ähnlich wie die deutschen AMELAG-Werte und die Schweizer Messungen. Gemäss meinen Kalibrierungen bei ca. 100 oder unter 100. Die Grippeweb-Plus-Kohorte liegt darüber, bei ca. 200.

It is striking how little media appetite or interest there has been for the Covid inquiry's conclusions

Oh noes, 1 interaction on this platform and it escalated to nuclear block exchange. But this yielded something I didn't know, see below. bsky.app/profile/domi...

At the peak of the BA.3.2 wave in Germany in December 2025, between 10 and 20 children with COVID were in intensive care (about 10% of ICU patients). Normally, it’s around 1%.

Wow, it seems really true that BA.3.2 preferentially infects small children or is particularly severe in small children: Compare the early German BA.3.2 fraction size peak in mid December (figure @rv-enigma.bsky.social) to case number based incidence in the age groups.

Die AMELAG-Daten du jour sind ca. 25% höher als üblich (retrospektiv). Betrifft auch die Influenza-Prävalenzen. Sollten sie so bleiben, werde ich die Kalibrierungen entsprechend anpassen. Es ändert nichts an der durchwachsenen Datenqualität und am Problem des Unterschieds vor und nach Q2 2024.

#Covid So Infectieradar derives an incidence of 0% (meaning <0.05%, presumably) for the third week in a row. Data until week 12, ending March 22nd. This has never happened and it fits to historically low wastewater prevalences in the DACH countries.

The U.S. was responsible for a strike on an Iranian elementary school, an ongoing military investigation found. The inquiry said the strike — which Iranian officials said killed at least 175 people, most of them children — was the result of a targeting mistake. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...
