To @TWenseleers and @jbloom_lab Is there a limit to how much more transmissible this virus can get? I am sure many are wondering this.
RT @TWenseleers: New study confirms that Omicron BA.4&5 gets its selective benefit from immune escape, but that it also has lower ACE2 binding affinity. Hopefully means that immune escape is traded off against contagiousness and that this could cause evolution towards lower R0 over the long term.
