A new COVID-19 variant recently identified in South Africa is causing concern from public health experts across the globe due to its high number of mutations and increased transmissibility among young people. Some are even warning the new strain could prove to be more dangerous than the Delta variant.

It's unclear where exactly the new strain, formerly known as B.1.1.529, initially arose but it was first detected in South Africa and has since been detected among South African travelers in neighboring Botswana as well as Hong Kong, the Associated Press reported. On Friday, Israel also said it had detected cases.

It is almost like Fauchi wants it to spread...

US leaves door open to Africa: Fauci says there will be no ban on Southern Africa travel - for now pending more study of super vaccine-resistant mutant 'Nu' variant - despite UK, Israel and Germany suspending all flights

The US will not restrict travel from South Africa, where a new 'super mutant' variant of COVID-19 is panicking scientists, until officials can study the variant more, Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Friday despite the UK and some European countries banning travel.

In plenty of time for the midterms & democrat forced mail in ballot voter fraud.

I have been watching Euronews for a couple of weeks and they are freaking out about this strain.

A year from now what will the name of the new killer strain be?

Place your guesses of the named variant for the midterms & to justify lock-down again.

What else can the GOP do? (The actual GOP sans Mittens, Murk etc)

It’s very grim right now. You can look forward to the midterms all you want but when the deck is several times over stacked against you, short of violence, not sure what other options are available.

How many years worth of variants do you think Chyna has in stock? 5? 20? To infinity and beyond?

So even less of a death rate than the OG Slope Sickness or Delta Slopes.

.000041 or .0041%

spreading rapidly'


Does not mean it is “worse”

It means that the virus is mutating predictably like people said it would - more communicable but less severe.

Funny how that happens.

A new variant or is China continuing to tweak its formula and send it out?

So earlier this week, social media was flooded with folks asking what was up with staggeringly low COVID cases in Africa, particularly in light of their super low vax rates, now...

We are told of a super-serious, ultra-deadly variant that is vax-resistant and HIGHLY communicable... in Africa.

Mmmkay.

Apparently the WH said last week no.lockdown.

I don't think they can get people to take their stupid boosters so will they go with muh hospitals full death on roids and Brandon will order a lockdown?

Then the following:

Newest rumor is Cackle will have a sudden family emergency and resign and Congress Critter Committees are all ready to approve Buttigieg. Brandon resigns, then Buttigieg appoints Stacey, MO, or Oprah.

They have a year to do this before midterms. They don't care that Buttigieg couldn't run a very small town or a lemonade stand.
