Dr Ruth's Newsletter for 11/11/2023

Here's the latest issue of Dr Ruth Ann Crystal's newsletter COVID news and more, for November 11, 2023. Among other news, she reports on some very concerning variants:

"JN.1 (BA.2.86 + L455S) is increasing by 115% per week in Paris, France and appears to have a growth advantage over other variants. The CDC has lumped together JN.1 and BA.2.86 with BA.2 for their reporting which is confusing. BA.2.86 has 33 more mutations in the spike protein than BA.2, and JN.1 has 34 mutations with the additional L455S mutation."

And here are some tips for those suffering from Long COVID:
