Japan Times ^ | 1-10-21 | JIJI

Another new variant of the novel coronavirus has been found in Japan, the health ministry said Sunday.

The new mutant strain, which is partly similar to different variants reported in the U.K. and South Africa, was detected in four infected people who arrived from Brazil, the ministry said.

The National Institute of Infectious Diseases (NIID) said there was no evidence at present that the new variant was highly infectious, but it was investigating whether it could cause severe symptoms and whether or not it is resistant to vaccines.

Of the four people, a man in his 40s showed no symptoms upon arrival, but later developed breathing difficulties and was hospitalized, the ministry said. A woman in her 30 has symptoms such as headache. A male in the 10-19 age group has a fever, while a woman in the same age group is free of symptoms.

Meh. It’s not going to end. Either people will tire of this nonsense, or people will become accustomed to living like veal calves.

I’m guessing this one probably only affects kids less than 18 so schools stay closed.

We’ll need to be locked down until 2025 so the Democrats can steal the next election too.

The world’s leftists have finally been presented with a huge opportunity....143 variants,all of which demand a new 6 month lockdown and a new vaccine. And the sheep will comply...or else the troops will move in.

Virus mutates. This will be the excuse to keep the lockdowns and shutdowns in place. It will never end.

I kind of laugh that people still think these shutdowns will end when Biden is in office. Why give up all that power?

But morons around here will think that is impossible like blatantly rigging elections and getting away with it and social media conspiring to silence the President and his followers. Oh.

Olympics do not start until July 23 so Olympians can get their shots in June so they will have immunity in time for the games.

Maybe no fans. Or limited capacity like we've been seeing in some NFL stadiums this year.
