The first time Biden declared victory in the war on COVID-19 was on Independence Day last year, and he did so again Tuesday night. “Thanks to the progress we have made this past year, COVID-19 need no longer control our lives,” he said.
But are we getting our hopes up that things will start returning to normal?
“Just as Omicron fades, a new variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 has now been detected in every U.S. state,” reports Joseph Curl at the Daily Wire.
“The variant, which didn’t get its own Greek letter name and is known simply as Omicron BA.2, is more contagious than its brother, but vaccines are effective against it.”
According to Fortune magazine, this new subvariant was originally discovered in Europe earlier this year and is now “becoming the leading strain behind new coronavirus infections in at least 18 countries.”
“A study from Denmark, where stealth Omicron rapidly became the dominant lineage of the virus, sampled 263 cases of COVID reinfection from stealth Omicron in the country, and found that reinfections were nearly four times as common for people who had recovered from the Delta variant than those who had come down with Omicron,” Fortune says. “The good news from the Danish study is that prior infection with Omicron and vaccination seemed to be enough to provide abundant protection to the new strain.”

The election variant.
No, this is just a caretaker variant before the election variant is appointed later in the fall.
LOL I checked to see if this was the Bee
STOP THE TESTING !!!!
Well, that’s it then.
Game over.
biden’s Winter of Death didn’t happen. pedojoe will be looking for some little ones to molest
Finally a virus that the vaxxines works on!
Yeah right! Like I will EVER believe ANYTHING the gubmit says again.
Prior infectuon with Omicron is effective.
You got Omicron natural immunity makes this a cold.
People are sick of being sick with Covid.
This is natural selection in action.
1. Viruses naturally mutate all the time. It’s what they do, naturally.
2. Those variants that do a poor job of infecting new hosts die off.
3. Those variants that do a good job of infecting new hosts AND DON’T KILL THEM are the MOST prevalent ones.
4. Over time the virus becomes just part of the biome. Like e Coli, a bacterium which is EVERYWHERE.
Somebody is typing without thinking. What is "stealth Omicron"? What is the "dominant lineage"? Is that like a "dominant variant"? Why not say that? "dominant lineage" is a stupid term.
The election variant.
Politician strain , will take out 99.99999% of politicians ?
Horse hocky.
Isn’t it amazing that you learn all that as a first year biology major, but somehow those facts seem to have escaped all the poobahs at the CDC, NIH, etc?
“The variant, which didn’t get its own Greek letter name”
Xi isn’t taken for some strange reason. /sarc
This thing has been circulating for about 12 weeks. I think o saw the first report around New Years. It’s a genetic drift not a genetic shift.
There is for the first time since the craziness began not a variant of significant change on the horizon. It’s over
And it has no symptoms so you won’t even know you had it unless you take a test from China that’s infected with it. 😆
It hasn’t really escaped them, they just ignore facts in order to create their “new truth” with which to subdue the nation
Of Course: A New COVID Variant Has Arrived Just in Time FOR THE 2022 ELECTION CYCLE!-)
