How will bidet and the prostitute save us?

WE’RE DOOOOMED. Run for the hills. WAIT. There’s viruses in the hills. Stay home. HIDE!!! Don’t even look outside.

It’s racist to identify by geographic origin

Can’t be. Biden said he had a plan. You mean Biden could not stop the variant from entering the country?

[dowcaet]

This plandemic will end when the powers that be want to end it.

[PghBaldy]

Funny how they tend to say this UK version is more contagious, but don’t mention iy is less leyhsl (last I heard).

[Thank You Rush]

“”according to a new study.””

The money will never STOP flowing for all these studies. NEVER!

[volunbeer]

Biden’s plan was to say whatever they told him to so he could be elected.

After that..... who cares?

B.1.1.7 is interesting because it builds on Covid's primary strength-it's transmissibility. The UK is reporting that this variant is 50-70% more transmissible than the original strain which is already highly transmissible clearly.

This greater transmissibility results from a greater affinity for the ACE2 receptor which is found on our cell surfaces.

It seems reasonable to conclude that B.1.1.7 will have a lower infectious dose. As such, it will be even more persistent on inanimate objects (fomites) such shopping cart handles.

We must remember that "persistence" is a key metric of a nuclear, chemical, biological weapon's effectiveness.

The longer a weapon can persist on a surface, the more effective it is. B.1.1.7 is a more effective weapon.

What is more al;arming to me is that B.1.1.7 has the ability to exchange genetic material with variant P.1.

There is evidence that P.1 can reinfect people who have already had the original Covid19.

It is my opinion that we should not "poo poo" this.

Turn off the TV.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that the B.1.1.7 variant of COVID-19 which was said to be 50% to 70% more contagious, has now been discovered to also be 30% deadlier. The CDC warns it could become the dominant strain in the US by March.

The cornyvirus is all a hoax, so it will end as soon as Biden is installed!

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Hahaha.. It’s goes to 11.

My family had Covid in late December/early January. Does that offer any protection against the new strain, or are they completely different? I know people say you can get Covid again, but I’m wondering if antibodies mitigate the severity of a subsequent infection.

Biden: I iiiii been to Varient.

Biden: I iiiii been to Varient. I love North Verginni.

I’ve seen several articles about people catching the new strains after recovering from earlier ones. Probably best to err on the side of caution.

[EEGator]

Lock us down for 3 months?...

Antibodies might help to make symptoms of a new strain less severe.
