A 90-year-old Belgian woman died after she became infected with two different strains of COVID-19 at the same time, scientists revealed Sunday.

Her case was the first documented of a patient infected with two strains, although the “phenomenon is probably underestimated,” one of the lead researchers said, according to Agence France-Presse.

The patient, who was not vaccinated, became sick in March with the Alpha and Beta strains of the virus, which were first identified in the United Kingdom and South Africa, respectively, according to scientists at the European Congress on Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases.

Local Belgium news says that the scientists figure she contacted it from two different individuals.

Then they suggested that this may happen more than they suspect because no one tests at the level to note two different varieties in the death.

If it took (allegedly) two strains of COVID to kill that woman at 90, she’ was some pretty tough stuff.

But fear porn it is.

She’s fortunate to have made it so far to begin with.

It’s not like those alleged two strains took out a 20 year old.

But it goes to show how desperate the left is to keep the fear narrative going that they have to run around with their hair on fire that a 90 year old died.. From anything.

In other possible news: a car crash victim who died was infected with all the variants of Covid-19. People should get vaccinated to prevent this kind of thing from happening!!!

she was 90

She was also unvaccinated.

Perhaps someone informed her that the survival rate is 99.5% and she decided the vaccine was too risky.

She was 90 and running in the Olympics this year. She exercises 2 hours every day and runs 5 miles a day. Three times a week, she swims 3 miles.

She died of what??

Apparently the lady had taken a couple of falls and that's why she was in the hospital in the first place.

These falls so often lead to confinement, immobility, pneumonis and death.

Noticeable that they said nothing about her general health.

Probable Treatment: No Ivermectin, HCQ, Quercetin, Zinc, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3 or even a multi-vitamin.

“Perhaps someone informed her that the survival rate is 99.5% and she decided the vaccine was too risky.”

Maybe, she had a heart condition or blood clot type conditions that made the vaccine too risky.

My mother has a couple of conditions that would make her high risk if she took the vaccine. She survived Covid already so hopefully she is immune already.

Perhaps if Fauci gets his way and makes vaccines, boosters, etc mandatory you will no longer have to ponder about someone like this 90 year old lady making reckless decisions about her own health. /s

Drat! No chance to kill her or maim her at 90!

You are cold-hearted. She lost at least 30 years of good life ahead of her.

The Covid Cultist are getting scared because places are opening up and they don’t want to come out of their safe spaces or people going into their safe spaces.

Note it doesn’t say she died of covid, only that she had it.

No anti-viral therapy like HCQ or IVM?

This is criminal neglect and malpractice.

At 90 you can die from a hang nail.

Thank God. She probably got another 6 months by not taking the depopulation potion.
