Covid levels remain low but new variants are coming, as is bird flu
There is a lot less Covid data around now, but what there is shows that levels of Covid remain low in the UK. That said, I do expect prevalence to increase in the coming weeks as we see the arrival of new variants that seem to be replacing the JN.1 variant that caused the Christmas 2023 wave. We must also prepare for the next pandemic, with outbreaks of Avian Flu (H5N1) in mammals becoming increasingly concerning.
