The skyrocketing number of COVID-19 cases in India is likely driven by a “far more infectious and probably far more deadly” variant — and is driving hospitals to “beyond [a] crisis point,” a top physician warned Tuesday.
Dr. Zarir Udwadia, who works in Mumbai hospitals and consults for the government, said he has seen “ward after ward full of patients struggling to breathe on ventilators of different forms and shapes.”

So all bases of feelings. “Likely driven” just means best guess.
If you look at what China does to its own people, releasing a new strain of virus on their competitor/enemy is nothing. And they are now offering to “help” India.
Listen to people at the border on WarRoom and also Peter Navarro and medical experts.
The Brazilian strain is a heavy duty dangerous variant that is coming in through our now open border and the South African variant too.
It’s happening now and unfortunately many unknowing victims will succumb to it.
People need to wake up, educate themselves on the real and present dangers we are facing. Do you not see America slipping away? We are in heap big trouble in many areas now with this woke crowd overrunning our world. It’s not a joke.
Want to live a more peaceful life? Ditch Facebook and twatter. I’m only on instacrap now to post pictures of my kids so other family members and friends can see. I’m so glad to have ditched them both. I have tons more free time and getting more accomplished.
“The Brazilian strain is a heavy duty dangerous variant that is coming in through our now open border and the South African variant too.”
You’re making this crap up.
Provide scientific documentation.
You don’t read much do you? A quick Internet search will bring up tons of links. This virus has already mutated many times as viruses always do.
Start listening to or watching Warroom every day to keep up. I’m not being cute, you’ll hear things first there and from medical experts that are trusted.
This is only one of many. Not making it up. Don’t embarrass yourself for being under informed.

***India’s COVID surge likely driven by ‘far more lethal’ variant: doctor***
Yawn! More fear porn. Not interested.
“Some people say that the entire genome of COVID19 is known and has been published.”
Keeping in mind that a virus is an exceptionally tiny, simple organism - one of the smallest of all genomes. It is a trivial task for the machines that sequence genomes.
Nowadays, individual humans can get their entire personal genomes fully sequenced, for about $1,000.
COVID-19 is sequenced over 4,000 times per day, just in the US Government’s variant surveillance program. That effort has recently increased their funding, to ramp that up severalfold.
Sequencing (mapping) is how one variant is distinguished from others. Many Governments (including India) have systematic programs of sequencing samples, to monitor variants. Additionally, many private organizations (for profit and non-profit) have the capability, and are involved in COVID-19 efforts.
Arguably, COVID-19 is now among the most well known of all genomes on Earth.

Brazilian Mutation Is More Contagious and More Deadly, the Vaccine May Not Be As Effective Against It
https://gnews.org/1048151/
China most likely concocted a more lethal variant for India’s population.
Wouldn’t surprise me, one little bit.
Biden is opening up our southern border to disease infected people. And supposedly the public 52% ‘approve of his handling of the pandemic’? If so then that 52% are either idiots or very low info folks who only get their news from late night comedy shows
Gnaws and BBC are not scientific sources.
Please cite a reference to actual scientific studies.
Couldn’t be the fact they have less than 2% of their 1.4 million people vaccinated, many who live in overcrowded cities, could it?
Don’t be a fool. You’re an adult. I got you started now you do some research. It’s all there if you care to learn.
It took me about a minute to find scientific articles on this strain, called B.1.617.
And the same amount of time to find this in a lay article;
“But, Andersen says, no one knows for sure if B.1.617 is more transmissible and thus driving India’s surge. “We also know the B.1.1.7 [the variant first detected in the U.K.] is circulating in India, and we know that P.1. [the variant first detected in Brazil] is also circulating there, too. So they could also play a role in this surge. We simply don’t have the data yet.””
You are making things up.
You do not understand (and have been misled, I’m sure, by poor reporting) that these strains are only characterized but that they increase infectivity, transmission, pathogenicity etc... is not determined in any way.
"More than seven million Hindus die each year in India and the sight of corpses surrendering to the flames of traditional funeral pyres is part of the country’s daily cycle of life. New Delhi has about 400 traditional cremation grounds, while Mumbai has around 300, according to Mokshda. In order to tackle the environmental problems stemming from these sites, the Indian government and environmental groups have, over the years, promoted the use of electric systems as an alternate way of cremation." ~ https://www.cnn.com/2011/09/12/world/asia/india-funeral-pyres-emissions/index.html
Maybe, but I remember seeing an internet post a while back saying the virus wasn't ever completely sequenced so I guess we can't know what the reality is.
Can you actually read? I did not comment on the current pandemic in India.
I am however commenting on a Brazilian strain currently entering the U.S. through our southern open border.
Why must you be so combative? Oh I know…that is what FR has devolved into. People can no longer debate. People can’t share info. You have to hurl insults.
Mister I don’t bow to you. I owe you nothing. I only corrected you for making inaccurate and uninformed statements.
