The more contagious omicron subvariant BA.2 has become the dominant COVID-19 strain in the U.S., but international health experts are putting an increased focus on a new hybrid variant that may even be more infectious.
The XE variant is a recombinant, meaning it is comprised of genetic material from two other strains, which in this case are BA.1, the original strain of omicron, and BA.2, known as "stealth omicron."
According to an epidemiological update published March 29 by the World Health Organization, estimates show XE is 10% more transmissible than BA.2, however the findings require further confirmation.

If the people are so pusillanimous as to permit a repeat of that atrocity, I will have no choice but submit again (or move to Florida) and the country will have to endure another electoral steal or ten.
Wonder which lab this one is out of? Any other variants on deck in the next 90 days?
Covid death counts are in decline. This has been true in the US for about 7 weeks now. Globally about the same, and because the US generally has so many, there is a disproportionate US contribution to that global total. From about March 2020, 1,000,008 dead in the US of Covid, globally 6.1 million.
6 million is a big number, and note the US taxpayer did not send any tax money to South Korean hospitals who classified deaths as Covid.
This is not the strong season for Covid. People emerge from indoors, and outdoors there is less confined air to spread particles within. Stronger variant particles around when air conditioning brings people back indoors, their vax and recovered immunity has aged, and people declare they are “done with it” will not be a good thing. The virus won’t care who is done with it.
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7044e1.htm This has been out a while. It’s powerful stuff. It puts to bed the whole recovered immunity issue vs vax. People vaxed in a very carefully controlled time frame, vs people previously infected also in a very carefully controlled time frame, become infected far less than the recovered folks from a previous immunity.
This would be crushing except for the fact vax loses its strength, and since it was superior at 6 months, so will recovered folks.
Overall conclusion, 2 years in and we have NOTHING to stop this virus. Pathetic.
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!
A Variant even less deadly than the nearly 100% survivable snifflecron- whatever are we gonna do?
[[What is so irritating is this is obviously going to go on forever]]
What the GOP shuld be doing now is stating ‘ok folks, the pandemic is over- now we are dealing with variants no more dangerous than common cold- the pandemic is OVER! ‘
Exactly- a variant so ‘stealthy’ that you need tests to determine if you have it or not-
Dunno, the last one was out of Wuhan, China.
Whatever is takes for the Delusional Lying to crush individual freedom, Christianity, and America, and implement Worldwide Totalitarian Government. There's strong evidence they are planning this stuff.
Useful to recall this was said last April as the winter smash that reached 4000+ deaths/day saw a daily death decline curve head down to a few hundred/day. “It’s over!! End all thinking about it!!!” That was US. Globally many more than 4000/day, and the US govt sent no money to Spain hospitals for classifying deaths as Covid.
Come August, Delta arrived. 2000 deaths/day. Omicron arrived as Delta’s deaths were in decline and jacked that curve up to 3500 deaths/day. I didn’t see much “It’s over! Stop thinking about it” at 3500 deaths/day. Got quiet.
Such talk is reserved for declining curves. Then it goes quiet when the next surge arrives.
New variants always become more contagious. Simultaneously, they become less dangerous - but the MSM can’t get any breathless headlines out of that part.
it’;s also useful to note that each variant is less and less deadly than the ones preceding it- it’s over-
also of note was the fact that covid 19 and delta were much deadlier than omicron and it’s new variants now coming out- variants decrease in deadliness- not increase- almost always- covid morphing into snifflecron is proving that-
biden proved the kung flu is a scam when he disbanded trump’s “operation warp speed”, opened the southern border, and spread over 2,000,000 nondocumented unvaccinated invaders across our country during a supposed “global pandemic” while anthony fauci, the cdc, the world health organization, the enemedia, and the majority of our elected representatives sit back and watch...
Yes, weaker variants are a popular . . . desperate . . . theory.
Which obviously failed when Delta arrived more deadly than the original strain.
We have nothing to stop this virus. It will be deadlier or less deadly at random.
Folks say a virus that kills 50% of the population would be statistically non advantageous for the virus. It would reduce its numbers. So expect less deadly and not more deadly.
It doesn’t work that way. The virus is not alive. It doesn’t reason things out. If it mutates into something that kills 50% of all humans on earth, then yes, that is a failed mutation. Its numbers will be fewer, because that is a conclusion after the fact, not before the fact. Its numbers will be fewer because its random mutation killed half of all humans. You can almost hear it —”sorry, won’t do that again.”
Ukraine is winding down, next crisis to throw at us!
WHO should know. They’re working feverishly in their labs to make it happen. Wonder which lab this one is out of? Any other variants on deck in the next 90 days?
Dunno, the last one was out of Wuhan, China.
Whatever is takes for the Delusional Lying Left to crush individual freedom, Christianity, and America, and implement Worldwide Totalitarian Government.
There's strong evidence they have and are planning these viral "pandemics" to cow independence from government.
What Fauci once said about natural immunity:
Which government? Russia’s death curve has been ugly. China’s death curve is nearly non existent. Nobody is trying to crush independence when places like Myanmar, that never had any independence, posts big daily death numbers.
Covid is not an American thing. It’s global, and there is nothing you can do about that.
