As the world still comes to grips with coronavirus’ variant, said to be highly transmissible if not deadlier than the Delta variant, that has dimmed the chances of a pandemic-free 2022, a fresh surge in US and Europe is now being blamed on a combination of the two.
Delmicron, a combination of the virus’ Delta and Omicron variants, can transmit even faster. While Covid-19 infections only involve a single mutant strain, two can strike simultaneously in extremely rare cases.
Omicron, accounting for 73% of fresh infections last week, has become the dominant variant in the US, the Associated Press reported. According to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, over 99.5% of infections in the country in November were caused by the Delta variant. Now, however, the Omicron variant has surpassed the Delta as the dominant strain.
In the UK, daily Covid-19 cases surpassed the 100,000-mark for the first time on Wednesday, attributed to Omicron, BBC reported. The symptoms, however, are milder than previous variants and are less likely to cause hospitalisations.
Omicron is a mutated B.1.1.529 form of SARS-CoV-2, first detected last month in South Africa. This variant spreads at a rapid pace, but its symptoms, at present, are said to be milder than the Delta variant. The mortality rate is also lower. Delmicron, on the other hand, is a combination of the Delta and the Omicron — the variants’ twin spike.
Delmicron’s symptoms are the same as the Omicron and the Delta variants. These include high temperature, persistent cough, loss of taste or smell, runny nose, headache, and sore throat. While Delta causes more severe symptoms, the Omicron mutation is highly transmissible.
Moderna Chief Medical Officer Dr Paul Burton said the new super-variant would be created if the Omicron and the Delta variants infect someone at the same time.
Data, papers published from South Africa earlier from the pandemic show that people, especially immunocompromised, can harbour both strains, Dr Burton told the Daily Mail earlier this month.

Dr Burton told the UK Parliament’s Science and Technology Committee that it was possible they could swap genes and trigger a dangerous variant.
Maharashtra’s Covid-19 task force member Dr Shashank Joshi said in a tweet reply to industrialist Harsh Goenka that Omicron was still not causing serious disease in the US and Europe. The Delta strain, however, was still more sinister.
He added that Europe and North America now had the twin Delmicron variant.
Historically, viruses have a strong tendency to mutate into a milder, more manageable form. This is what we’ve seen with COVID-19. They tried to scare us with Delta, but it was actually milder than the earlier versions. They tried to scare us with Omicron, but it is milder than Delta and is, in fact, equivalent to the Common Cold. Now they try to scare us with another variant?
Even the stupid people are going to start to understand. This was never about health. It’s just about Control.
Massive bullsh*ttery going on here. Trying support Biden’s winter of death and misery.
How about just calling all these new strains “Biden variants”.
They happened on his watch after he promised to stamp out the virus. So let him take the credit!
Why do you keep posting this shit?
Just listen to the song “ Supersonic”.
Makes as much sense as this idiocy!
RE: Why do you keep posting this shit?
What do you mean by “keep posting”?
I just posted about Delmicron once.
Just trying to keep mail in voting for the midterms.
It’s not the BIG ONE. It’s just the precursor to MidTermicron, which will conveniently arrive in March. And this will prepare us for VotebymailwithnoIDicron in 2024.
Had a some fever, fatigue, and some taste loss for about 2 weeks back in late 2019. Came out just fine. I was already taking immune system enhancement pills plus ivermectin, like President Trump did.
What exactly is ‘Delmicron’?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once step below the Ultracron.. two steps below the Ultramegacron and three steps below the Ultramegasupercron!
And that’s it!!
Are ((they)) releasing this crap? Or making it up at this point?
Anagram of Delta & Omicron:
MEDIA CONTROL !!!
BS-O-Meter pegged on max
Trump did not take ivermectin.
My advice to you is to drink heavily.
Hey, a company that makes billions from selling “vaccines” is telling us that there’s yet another scary viral “variant” just around the corner. I sure am glad those nice people provide that helpful public service for us. I wonder if they’re related to those nice Indian people who call me to let me know that I have a virus on my computer?
This variant is so deadly nothing happens
The more shots they come up with, the more variants appear.
Like motion sickness has a patch there will now be a Fauci patch that people can wear so they don’t throw up every time they hear his name.
