Claude Matuchansky (2023-09-30). Correspondence] Natural SARS-CoV-2 infection-induced immune protection against re-infection. thelancet.com In their remarkable systematic review and meta-analysis,1 the COVID-19 Forecasting Team showed that past infection-induced protection against re-infection from pre-omicron variants was very high for at least 40 weeks, that protection was substantially lower and shorter for the omicron BA.1 variant, and that protection from severe disease was high for all variants. The authors establish a strong COVID-19 milestone (pre-empted in some perspective papers from 2020 to 2021)2,3 that is a giant leap for global health epidemiology and clinical practice.

Rising temperatures, however, destroys the skin-biocrust of desert soils, thus precipitating the spread of deserts.
