Get ready to learn more Greek letters. Scientists warn that omicron’s whirlwind advance practically ensures it won’t be the last version of the coronavirus to worry the world.
Every infection provides a chance for the virus to mutate, and omicron has an edge over its predecessors: It spreads way faster despite emerging on a planet with a stronger patchwork of immunity from vaccines and prior illness.
That means more people in whom the virus can further evolve. Experts don’t know what the next variants will look like or how they might shape the pandemic, but they say there’s no guarantee the sequels of omicron will cause milder illness or that existing vaccines will work against them.
“The faster omicron spreads, the more opportunities there are for mutation, potentially leading to more variants,” Leonardo Martinez, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Boston University, said.

More AP Fear Porn! It never ends.
Expect more boosters.
Gee we’d better have more mail-in voting, then!
I’m expecting more fearful restrictions from the Gubbmint.
Coronaphobia writ large. But in the words of alfred E neuman: “What? Me worry?” Nope. We remain “NON GMO”.
16. The majority of Covid infections are “asymptomatic”. From as early as March 2020, studies done in Italy were suggesting 50-75% of positive Covid tests had no symptoms. Another UK study from August 2020 found as much as 86% of “Covid patients” experienced no viral symptoms at all.
It is literally impossible to tell the difference between an “asymptomatic case” and a false-positive test result.

17. There is very little evidence supporting the alleged danger of “asymptomatic transmission”. In June 2020, Dr Maria Van Kerkhove, head of the WHO’s emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said:
From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual,”
A meta-analysis of Covid studies, published by Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in December 2020, found that asymptomatic carriers had a less than 1% chance of infecting people within their household.

Scientists say “as variants become more and more weak, like they always do practically, we must become more and more alarmed
We will have a “new” Virus just in time for Easter to make sure all of the Churches are closed.
And unlimited fear mongering. It will ultimately lead to passports and tracking our every move, even when the Wuhan is long forgotten.
Isn’t BU where that little AOC Chica gradumacated?
You keep posting crap and don’t even offer your own comment on them. It’s ruining FR.
Why doesn’t someone from the Associated Presstitutes just ask Fauci what the next variant they have waiting for us will be ??
If you live on an isolated island in the Pacific the past two years. Yeah that's a different story.
Or if you're a cancer patient taking chemotherapy, then yeah.
But the rest of us, we'll have "armor" on us by then. Variants will continue to mutate so it will continue to be contagious but it won't be as virulent.
"BLAST-O-DEATH" virus:
THEN I'll be afraid...
Shut it down.
Shut it all down.
Hard.
Nip it in the bud.
“Scientists![?] say”......
The AP (American Pravda) quoting “scientists” and “experts.” It never gets old, does it?
‘More AP Fear Porn! It never ends.’
it never ends because we the people allow it to continue; and will for as long as females have increasing influence over public policy...
