John published an article in Communications Medicine titled “The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and other public health outcomes during the BA.2/BA.2.12.1 surge, New York City, April–May 2022” in collaboration with the Nash Lab at CUNY School for Public Health. Our results suggest that the true magnitude of NYC’s BA.2/BA.2.12.1 surge may have been vastly underestimated by routine case counts and wastewater surveillance. We may have identified the impact of at home testing on documented cases in the city. Hybrid immunity, bolstered by the recent BA.1 surge, likely limited the severity of the BA.2/BA.2.12.1 surge.
