Anecdotally: I got my first covid infection as part of that spike, despite getting the latest booster a month prior and being fully vaxed. I did manage to avoid giving it to my wife, though, so based on my sample size (n=2) the new variant(s) driving it are indeed immune-invading, but don’t seem to be more obscenely contagious than normal for covid.
(I unironically blame dialing back my cannabis use for the infection)
Anecdotally (n=1) when I had covid recently and experimented on myself, after taking full-spectrum cannabis oil, the indicator line on my home test was substantially thinner (indicating less viral load) and was darker a few days later with no additional cannabis in between.
Obviously just stoner bro science at this point, but there’ve been a handful of studies about how various cannabinoids inhibit covid cellular entry.
