This document discusses the characteristics of different SARS-CoV-2 variants including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon. It outlines their symptoms, transmissibility, severity, prevalence, and treatments for mild-moderate and hospitalized cases. It also covers prevention methods like vaccination which moderately reduces infection risk but is highly effective against hospitalization and death, even more so than natural immunity from a previous COVID-19 infection.
