With COVID-19 cases rising, experts warn of a potential severe wave in the UK, possibly one of the worst since the vaccine rollout. Low immunity and antibody levels, coupled with the Omicron variant, contribute to increased infections and more severe symptoms. Immunologists note that decreased antibody levels allow a higher virus dose to cause more severe illness. The previous widespread vaccine rollout played a crucial role in minimizing the impact, but with fewer people receiving boosters, there is concern about a potential surge in severe cases, affecting even young and fit individuals.
