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.

They have to get something going for the midterms, right?
Some other possible gastrointestinal signs like diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, stomach ache and others are quite common. “

Oh, from the publicized norovirus being reported recently?
Guy, the virus doesn’t care about Left or Right. It just kills old people and lowers life expectancy.
It’s an equal opportunity killer. It doesn’t read DU or FR.
[[Yes, weaker variants are a popular . . . desperate . . . theory.]]
LOL- the variants are proving to be weaker each time- but yeah. it’s just a ‘desperate theory’
Your mocking aside- the variants’ don’t think- they just become less deadly- over and over and over again this is proven out- but what do we know- we can’t believe our lyign eyes apparently according to you-
You wanna live in fear the rest of your life in the very improbable chance that this virus will defy the norms? Whatever- even covid 19 itself was over 99% survivable- The rest of us will not live in fear of ‘what ifs’
You seem to relish scolding people for ‘not taking this more seriously’ even as variant after variant becomes even less deadly than the original covid 19 at around 99.5% overall survivability- Sorry- but we aren’t living in fear of it= You are a fear peddler!
Several months ago there were breathless liberal reports about how ‘covid woudl not evolve to be less deadly- report after report ‘sounded the alarm’ that deaths from covid woudl increase, not diminish ‘if the virus evolved to a more deadly strain’- Bzzzt- Wrong! This virus has followed many other viruses and is decreasing in deadliness-
Wake me up when omicron kills a million or so i n the us- what the death count for omicron right now? 3?
The virus launched by the Leftist Political Pandemic is a very deliberate part of the worldwide Leftist “Great Reset”.

Then why isn’t the FDA approving new vaccines like Novavax, which has been approved by the WHO and everywhere else worldwide
Thank you for spouting the CDC’s talking points! I don’t remember you as a vax shill, must’ve missed your username.
Bottom line is that the “vaccines” actually removed the ability to fight spike protein based pathogens for recipients of the mRNA type jabs if they received the full 3-4 shot “fully vaccinated” regimen. This has been documented in multiple countries around the globe. The higher the jab rate, the higher the case/hospitalization/deaths. See Sweden as the correct response.
Nations like China and Korea that relied on lockdowns and their vaccines are finding out just how little immunity the jabs provided, and these nations will ensure that this plandemic never ends.
Please note that Sinovac from China and Sputnik V from Russia were developed with Pfizer as a partner. The results are not coincidental.
You believe the CDC and the CCP numbers? Wow.
My in laws are in lockdown in Shanghai right now. They actually know lots of people who have died from Covid since this began, telling a far different story than the CCP.

The WHO, the FDA, and all the Left just lines up with it. Things like “approval” only have to do with forwarding the underlying agenda. Why do you think they tried very hard to mandate these experimental vaccines on everyone? They want COMPLIANCE and couldn’t care less about health.
Reagan warned us about that about 60 years ago.

Who says? Oh, W.H.O says - disregard.
BA.2 was 50% more transmissible than the original Omicron, and has made almost no difference in the USA. Another 10% is just more insignificant noise.
Even Democrats are fed up with this Covid sh1t.
The “midterm variant”.
You must be really fun to watch football games with.
My brother is just like you, thinks there’s a coulda woulda shoulda that would have nipped this in the bud. And he thinks the end of the world is just around the corner.
There is no scenario where this virus morphs into something that can kill 50% of humans on Earth.
There is no scenario where we can vaccinate our way out of a rapidly mutating virus with animal reservoirs.
Also no scenario where respirators, social distancing, plexiglas bubbles, lockdowns or other infantile responses will work.
There actually is a scenario where this virus, along with most other respiratory viruses, fizzle out - focusing on basic health measures like controlling obesity, adequate Vitamin D levels and educating the populace on natural anti-viral supplements. But there’s no money in that, so que sera, sera.
Not in places like UK though. Thos knotheads can’t wait to get more clot shots.
I don’t believe a word of this.
Ukraine maybe?
By now it must be a million times more transmissible than the original strain.
How many times can it be how many times more transmissible—and who believes they’ve done enough full sequencing on enough “cases” to really know?
I think one of the covidians dusted off one of their older accounts...
WHO cares?
