“All of a sudden no Sunday shows. All of a sudden there’s no more variants. Zero news articles today on Fauci. How does the CDC and the mass media explain this? Is it a miracle?”
Send Putin a thank you email :-).
Not so fast. Europe is dragging out the latest and greatest 'DeltaCron'. A marriage of the last 2 variants. Obviously a Delta infected and Omacron infected love pair got together and had a baby that then went out and infected Europe. Probably will hit the States about September so the new shutdown can screw up the election again. /S
Orwell taught us well.
” All of a sudden there’s no more variants. “
Nobody knows what lurks in the shadows....lol
Delta was around in 2020 in India, but took about a year to dominate the US (99%) by Dec 2021. Omni BA 1.1 got its start in the US in Dec 2021, dominating (75%) by Feb 26 2022, but challenged by Omni B.1.1.529 which infected 45% by 1/1/22, fading to 14% by March 5 2022 as it lost ground to BA.2 . Omni BA2, first seen in the US on Dec 4 2021 with 0.6%, now accounts for 11% infected as of Mar 5. BA2 has been gaining against B.1.1, but who knows if it will outcompete BA1 or fade away like B.1.1.529 is currently doing. Either way, Omni BA1 and BA2 are attacking the younger age groups.

and then there’s the ominous-sounding DeltaCron - where the two ran away and got married in Cyprus on Jan 7, 2022. And honeymooned in France, Denmark and the Netherlands. I don’t think it’s arrived in the US yet but with air travel restrictions eased, who knows?

or we could get one of these shapeshifters next, that uses a fatty acid to cloak the spike:

There’s human-deer-human variant, too, so please, don’t kiss the deer:

and Fauci is still a self-serving idiot.
