The Babylon Bee could do something with this story.
Yawn.
The Babylon Bee could be the source for this story.
“It is so dangerous we can hardly detect its existence!!!”
Omfg
Tired of the fearporn yet folks?
Or are you just eating it up like a hungry little covid karen?
a sister?
What about a 1st cousin twice removed strain?
More boosters!! More boosters!!
This seems to be the first time I’m actually reading about genes in this virus...
Seriously, though, for a country who, unlike the U.S., can completely control who enters and leaves the country, you would think they would have no problems with COVID - period.
Instead, they act like they can't get a handle on this.
Who’s panicking? ???
This is getting silly.

Because it really doesn't exist. "Can't find it? See, that's proof it is there."
Bottom line on this story . . . it has to do with PCR’s method of detecting covid in general. One of the S genes no longer (vs weeks ago in original Omicron) points at Omicron during the PCR’s test. This means the usual dna sequencing will have to be done to identify variant, same as was done with Delta.
For God knows what reason, all these articles are being written about severity and transmissibility and they end with “it is too soon to make judgements about severity. There is only 1 Omicron patient in the US hospitalized out of about 45.
The reason this is “too soon” and invalid is the 45 patients are young. Young people from day 1 have not had major problems with corona. Older people are not insane. They are taking measures to avoid it. Result of this is there is no data on old folks.
A recent South Africa report said 80% of their hospital patients were under age 50. Then they said symptoms were mild. Well, JESUS, OF COURSE THEY ARE. Nobody vulnerable to death is infected yet.
Omicron 2, Electric Boogaloo.
Coronavirus PING! and also to folks Down Under.
Yvette D’Ath, Queensland’s health minister
D’Ath is clearly an abbreviation with the “e” replaced by an apostrophe.
Reminds me of a certain Dr. Michael D. Butcher and his surgery scheduler, Liz Dethrow...
