Why is the new COVID variant called stealth omicron? – WOODTV.com

Called BA.2 by scientists, it has earned itself an ominous (and more catchy) nickname: stealth omicron. (Photo: Getty Images) (NEXSTAR) – A new version of the omicron variant is starting to spread around the world. Called BA.2 by scientists, it has earned itself a more ominous (and more catchy) nickname: stealth omicron. What makes stealth omicron so stealthy? It has genetic mutations researchers are concerned could make it harder to identify compared to BA.1, the original version of omicron. BA.1 has features that made it easy to distinguish it from delta using a certain PCR test. BA.2 doesn’t have that same genetic quirk, so on the test, it looks like delta. But this is more of a problem for researchers and less of a problem for...

Howard Hesseman, Dr. Johnny Fever on ‘WKRP in Cincinnati,’ Dies at 81 – Hollywood Reporter

Howard Hesseman, who made a career out of portraying off-the-wall characters, none more popular than the disc jockey Johnny Fever on the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati, has died. He was 81. Hesseman died Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Los Angeles of complications from colon surgery he first had last summer, his wife, actress and acting teacher Caroline Ducrocq, told The Hollywood Reporter. A member of the San Francisco improv group The Committee and a real-life DJ back in the 1960s, Hesseman also was known for his stint as out-of-work actor turned history teacher Charlie Moore on the ABC comedy Head of the Class. (He quit that show after four seasons to aim for a movie career.) And on the ninth and final season of One Day at a Time, his character, arc...

‘Stealth’ Omicron Variant No Cause for Alarm, but Could Slow Case Decline – The New York Times

In recent days, headlines about a “stealth” Omicron variant have conjured the notion that a villainous new form of the coronavirus is secretly creating a disastrous new wave of Covid. That scenario is highly unlikely, scientists say. But the new variant, which goes by the scientific name BA.2 and is one of three branches of the Omicron viral family, could drag out the Omicron surge in much of the world. So far, BA.2 doesn’t appear to cause more severe disease, and vaccines are just as effective against it as they are against other forms of Omicron. But it does show signs of spreading more readily. “This may mean higher peak infections in places that have yet to peak, and a slowdown in the downward trends in places that have already experienced peak Omicron,” said Thomas Peacock, a virolo...

Jeremiah Stamler, Who Found Ways to Curb Heart Disease, Dies at 102 – The New York Times

A third study, begun about 30 years ago and still ongoing, looks at dietary factors besides salt, like animal protein, that contribute to high blood pressure. “I remember there being criticism that he was an older man in his 70s, and could he complete the five years of the project,” Dr. Philip Greenland, a professor in Northwestern’s department of preventive medicine, said in an interview. “Then he had multiple renewals of the grant application, and at the last renewal he was 95 years old.” Jeremiah Stamler was born on Oct. 27, 1919, in Brooklyn and grew up in West Orange, N.J. His parents — George Stamler, a dentist, and Rose (Baras) Stamler, a teacher — had immigrated from Russia. After receiving a bachelor’s degree from Columbia University, he earned his medical degree from Long Island...
