A researcher in Cyprus has discovered a strain of the coronavirus that combines the delta and omicron variant, Bloomberg News reported on Saturday.

Leondios Kostrikis, professor of biological sciences at the University of Cyprus, called the strain “deltacron,” because of its omicron-like genetic signatures within the delta genomes, Bloomberg said.

I’m so glad I didn’t have to grow up with this kind of hysteria about colds. Pity the kids today, though.

Break out the Ouija board for the name of the next variant.

One of the really decent prayers from my (incresingly fading into the background) Lutheran days:

“O most loving Father,
you want us to give thanks for all things,
to fear nothing except losing you,
and to lay all our cares on you,
knowing that you care for us.

Protect us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties,
and grant that no clouds in this mortal life may hide from us the light of your immortal love shown to us in your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”

No, only 15. Xi can never be used because it would upset a certain Chinese tyrant.

I am not worried, I am not vaccinated.

Ditto.
