Make sure you duct tape all doors and windows and huddle in your basement the rest of your miserable lives, peasants.

If it evades the immune system then we have the choice of wearing hazmat suits daily now (and installing industrial showers adjacent to our entrances) or ignoring it.

[Codeflier]

“Evades the immune system”. What a joke.

[a fool in paradise]

Remember in the first decade of this century we were advised to buy trash bags and tape up our windows to protect against bio/chem warfare?

[OttawaFreeper]

Is this double secret probation?

New ‘triple mutant’ Covid variant emerges in India as cases soar

[wildcard_redneck]

It won't be dangerous until it hits quadruple mutation!

[the_individual2014]

What the heck, I live in Belgium, what is this crap?

[Mr. Jeeves]

The disease just wasn’t bad enough to justify the pre-planned lockdowns - so now they need to retroactively invent one that is.

If the international Left lets go of this round of restrictions, people will never let them do it again. They are all in.

Double mutant: Imagine if Sloth Fratelli had Magneto's powers

[riri]

If it evades the immune system doesn't that just mean it would kill everyone who contracts it?

I am seriously tired of this crap. This was a poorly thought out and executed bio attack. Do better, elites.

[dforest]

Our wonderful unelected president has probably rolled out the welcome mat to this new threat.

Triple mutant: Imagine if Sloth Fratelli had Magneto's powers and Thanos's outlook on life

[SmokingJoe]

“Indian mutant” he?
So where is the “Burmese mutant” then?
Oh wait, the military junta ate it.
Chuckle.

India and Africa would be improved if 70% of their populations were culled.

[mosaicwolf]

What they don’t tell you is the 55 infected persons had a severely compromised immune system to begin with and would have likely died from a simple infection from a cut finger. How can anybody believe any of this crap from any government?

[faucetman]

“Indian ‘double-mutant’ Covid-19 variant adds 55 infections in UK as strain that ‘evades immune system’ reaches Belgium”

Let me fix it.

.Indian ‘double-mutant’ Covid-19 variant adds 55 infections in UK as strain that ‘evades immune system’ reaches Belgium

[mrsmith]

Yeah, considering the close ties between UK and India 55 is insignificant.

Also:
the vaccines work against the variant (preliminary)

Only affects mutant turtles.

I’m a COVID doctor and I don’t intend to discuss “it’s not real” or any variations of that.

But I DO want to discuss why the “it’s not real” people are opposed to the border closures which would have ended this a year ago.

There is NO REASON for passenger aircraft to be departing Brazil OR India under these circumstances. Even if I’m wrong, and the conspiracy theory people are right about whether SARS CoV 2 exists, how bad the illness it causes is, or any of that, WE DO NOT OWE THE ENORMOUS, WOULD BE REFUGEE MOB from those countries a thing.

We have enough COVID trouble in the 50 states. Things are improving.

If even a middle of the road theory of COVID is correct (”just a bad flu”), WHY WHY WHY are we about to take in anyone with airfare (and, I have no doubt, “rescue” flights will be starting soon).

If COVID is such small potatoes, let them prove it on the ground in Brazil and India. If, OTOH, RNA virus evolution works the way I know it does, we should immediately close our borders, ban overseas arrivals at US airports, and even use the Navy to divert or destroy aircraft arriving from those places.

Let them go to Canada, the first post-nationality nation.
