Other pathogens that can cause flu-like symptoms or stomach upset, such as adenovirus, norovirus and rotavirus, are circulating at much higher levels this summer than last year, according to the CDC.
Likewise, the CDC is tracking a series of co-circulating Covid-19 variants, all of which appear to be second- or third-generation descendants of recombinant XBB, each with slight genetic tweaks that make them healthier and more contagious, he said. CNN.
These gradual adjustments of the virus were to be expected, the station added, and no sudden evolutionary jumps like the ones reported for Omicron variants were reported.
However, experts believe that another similar variant is likely to emerge within the next two years.
More than one million people in the United States have died from Covid-19.
