Gateway Pundit via NOQ Report ^ | 04/04/2022

According to the World Health Organisation’s latest report, a new Covid-19 variant, a recombinant of the BA.1 and BA.2 Omicron strains, has been found in the UK.

The new variant called “XE” was first detected in the United Kingdom on January 19, and over 600 cases have been reported since then.

“The XE recombinant was first detected in the United Kingdom on January 19 and over 600 sequences have been reported and confirmed since,” WHO said in its weekly epidemiological update last Month.

“Early-day estimates indicate a community growth rate advantage of ~10% as compared to BA.2, however this finding requires further confirmation,” WHO said.

“XE belongs to the Omicron variant until significant differences in transmission and disease characteristics, including severity, may be reported. WHO continues to closely monitor and assess the public health risk associated with recombinant variants, alongside other SARS-CoV-2 variants, and will provide updates as further evidence becomes available,” WHO continued.The United Kingdom’s Health Security Agency has stated that they are monitoring XE along with other two other Covid-19 variants, XD and XF. Deadline reported: There are actually three new […]

As predicted. Viruses mutate to become easier to spread, and less lethal. It’s the way it goes. So, this fits the pattern perfectly.

And why does the spread of a super-mild variant matter? (It doesn’t unless you’re trying to sell more vax doses, or set the stage for mail-in voting 2.

If COVID-19 follows the same pattern as every other virus, it will continually evolve strains that are more contagious but less virulent, eventually becoming just another human coronavirus strain that causes the common cold.

It is basic Darwinian evolution. The more contagious and less virulent a strain is, the more people it can infect and the more widely it can spread.

“If it’s in the UK they could have called it the XKE variant.”

Just so you pronounce this new variant correctly, it is NOT the Jag’-war variant, it is the Jag-u’-ar variant.

AND don’t forget to change all your “Z”s to “S”s and add a “u” to words like color (colour), mate.

nobody would pay attention to the headline if “WHO” wasn’t capitalized and a “?” at the end...

“who says....?” SO WHAT!

Did you notice that no one died of the flu in 2020? Or 2019?
Amazing how something that happens every year decided to not show up for a couple of years…..

I thought “XE” was its pronoun.

The political science says lockdowns after mid-terms, especially if D’s get swept.

Since it's the UK they probably letsome WHO guy name it after his car. The Jaguar XE was rated 71st out of the top 100 cars in our 2019 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, with a fairly poor result for reliability, and failed to appear in our 2020 survey. Poor result for reliability of WHO reports fits nicely.
