Of Course: A New COVID Variant Has Arrived Just in Time
PJ Media ^ | 03/04/2022 | Matt Margolis

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.”

What scary name can they give it? The Greek alphabet isn’t really that scary. They chose “little O” because they thought it was scary.

I suggest they name it “President Harris.” Now that’s really scary!

Explain to me why this is crap.

RE: Why do you post most of the stuff you do?

Because people in FR read them and respond and I feel they are relevant for today.

If you don’t feel that way, You are free NOT to read them and ignore them if you like.

Harris is an anchor baby, not a Natural Born Citizen. Nancy Pelosi is the next Constitutionally qualified person in the line of succession.

The BA.2 sub-variant of Omicron is not having a significant impact in the USA.

It’s hovered around 3.5% of new cases for the last three weeks (not growing it’s share).

Overall new case numbers continue to plummet.
