19 Discovered In Bats In China
A coronavirus similar to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has been discovered in bats in China. Lab studies at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China show it may have the potential to infect humans. The HKU5-CoV-2 virus resembles COVID because it targets the same human receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2), according to research published in the scientific journal Cell. The virus doesn't enter human cells as easily as COVID, the researchers said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Monday, Feb. 24 that there is no reason to believe…

19: New LB.1 Variant Sees Climb In Infections Amid Nationwide Uptick In Cases
Cases of a new COVID-19 variant are on the rise nationally as the spread of the virus overall is climbing, according to brand-new data from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). The highly contagious variant, LB.1, now accounts for 17.5 percent of US cases in the two weeks ending Saturday, June 22. LB.1 cases have more than doubled since May, and some experts think it could be on a path to surpass two offshoots of the highly contagious Omicron variant who are part of the so-called "FLiRT" group: KP.3 and KP. 2. Combined, those two subvariants account for mo…
