The next Covid variant to emerge is poised to be more severe than the mild strains that are currently world-dominant, according to a new study.
The ultra-infectious Omicron strain emerged almost exactly a year ago and its mutated spinoffs have risen to the top in virtually every country in the world.
They are far milder than the older versions of the virus and many researchers believed they represented a kind of end game for Covid’s evolution, which like many viruses before it, mutate to be more mild so they can spread more easily.
But researchers in South Africa say the virus still has the potential to get deadlier after examining an immunocompromised HIV patient who harbored the virus for half a year.
Over time, the virus evolved to cause more cell death and cell fusion, leading to inflammation in the lungs.
These effects more closely resembled those of the ancestral Covid strain than the Omicron strain, according to Alex Sigal, leader of the study.
The patient is one of the longest known sufferers of Omicron, which itself is widely believed to have evolved in someone with a severely weakened immune system.
Immunocompromised people cannot adequately clear out infection, which allows the virus to continually replicate and mutate in their body over time, before spreading to others with its new alterations.
Still, the findings from South Africa represent just one theory about the future of Covid's spread and protection gained through vaccination and prior infection puts the US - and world - in a stronger position to beat back another deadly surge.
The finding comes amid warnings that China's unrelenting Covid outbreak could spawn a doomsday variant which has the potential to send the world back to square one in its fight against the virus.

Oh, BShite! Any more lethal variate kills the host — the ones who got the jab of a the fake vaccine. The only way a more virulent version arises is if the CCP releases it, AGAIN.
A theory…about what happens when someone with AIDS gets a case of man-made virus with HIV inserts
“examining an immunocompromised HIV”
Golly. HIV immunocompromised people have weak immune systems and have trouble fighting off viral infections??? NO WAY!!!
Isn’t that the plan?
No.
Could be. Might. Poised to be.
This is what passes for science today.
Yes, exactly! They even managed to get “spawn a doomsday variant” in there. The sky is falling!
Daily Mail is always crap. Esp about Russia.
Is that worse than “Double Secret Infectious”?
Insert picture of fresh bull manure here.
Should call it: Ukicron
I’m sure they tweaked it that way.
That’ll be just in time for the next election. They’ll find a way to blame it all on Trump.
Got to get the CDC stamp of approval before we can definitely state that it is utter BS ... until then it is merely alleged BS. I trust the science of common sense.

They are really serious about killing us.
It’s all part of the plan.
First release the version that causes light mortality, but widespread sickness.
Vaccinate the part of the population that is cooperative.
Release the second version that sickens the vaccinated and kills the unvaccinated uncooperative people.
Isn’t there a book “Potatoes NOT Prozac?”
Before worrying too much, I’d check for NIH grants to labs in South Africa — then get worried.
