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.

WHO should know. They’re working feverishly in their labs to make it happen.

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." So it's a mix between the mild one and the one that's even milder, so mild in fact that you don't know you have it, hence 'stealth'.

Nobody but those few Branch Covidians desperately clinging to their masks and shot cards and yappy power-trippers like Fauci gives a ratβs patootie.

So an easily transmissible head cold, then?

The X-15 variant goes through a population at supersonic speed, much faster than the stylish XKE variant.
I’m afraid you’re right about the airline masking, though.

” Fatigue and dizziness are some of the initial symptoms, followed by headaches, sore throat, muscle soreness and fever. But the most common symptoms of coronavirus such as the loss of smell and taste are rarely reported in people affected with the new Omicron variant. Some other possible gastrointestinal signs like diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, stomach ache and others are quite common. “

What is so irritating is this is obviously going to go on forever and the prog will cling to it until they die from shot 4 with it’s 2 boosters, screeching, wailing and moaning all the way.
It genuinely appears that the prog are totally dedicated to being a gigantic PITA for everyone around them.
