Shouldn't that be the Baaaa variant?

BS variant

"According to The World Health Organization (WHO), the Mu variant – also known as B.1.621 – may not be impeded by either individuals who have been fully inoculated against the virus that causes COVID-19, or by people who have acquired a degree of immunity after having been previously infected."

"According to The World Health Organization (WHO) China, Mu say you shut everyling down now prease."

When one strain is ascendant as then Alpha and now Delta, there's no space for Mu to get a foothold, because it is extremely dubious that its R0 is higher than Delta.

Lambda's R0 was supposedly higher than Delta and?

And if Mu is a better killer, then its spread will be severely limited.

I don't buy for a second that Mu has anything special against acquired immunity -- Delta had multiple mutations, extra insert power with the P681R mutation, and has spread out into 13 lineages of its own -- and yet acquired immunity against all Delta is just as effective as it is against Alpha (which is the foundation of most acquired immunity - duh).

Conclusion: FluPorn.

Does the Moo variant react to horse paste?
