US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Thursday that it was tracking a new, highly mutated lineage of the virus that causes COVID-19.
The lineage is named BA.2.86, and has been detected in the United States, Denmark and Israel, the CDC said in a post on messaging platform X.
“As we learn more about BA.2.86, CDC’s advice on protecting yourself from COVID-19 remains the same,” the agency said.
The World Health Organization (WHO) earlier on Thursday said in a post on X that it had classified BA.2.86 as a “variant under monitoring” due to the large number of mutations it carries.

With the upcoming “Climate Emergency” it will be a double-whammy.

Masks won’t work on this one, it’s going to require you to wear a full helmet with a D ring for attaching your leash.

Esactly. They're really ratcheting up the "climate" hysteria and they are never going to let go of COVID. Trying to set the stage for why we simply must have mail-in ballots again in 2024. To protect the population from the "ravages" of COVID and to spare the "greenhouse gas" produced when people drive to polling stations. They're not even trying to hide their zeal for a banana republic at this point.

If everyone just mails in their ballot marked for Biden then Covid will go away and the climate scam will disappear. Easy peasy.

Surprised they are pulling this so soon...need to wait another 6 months to justify full lock down and mail in ballots.
To: ChicagoConservative27
I don’t know what the typical rate of mutation is for viruses, but something sure seems fishy here.

"The lineage is named" BS.8.18.2023. It will be boosted in the media tomorrow by BS.8.19.2023
To: ChicagoConservative27
OMG! I’ve gotten my eleventh booster. I gotta call the doctor and see when the shot is coming out for this variant. I’m so scared.
The nurses at the doc’s office really like me. I gave blood last week and the clots were so long and stringy they weaved a rug out of it and hung it on the wall in my honor.

That’s perfect. Global warming caused the fire, and the fire spreads mutated Covid via the ashes on the winds.

The influenza virii as well as the coronavirii have been mutating since they showed up on the planet and will continue to do so for as long as they are here.
To: Tom Tetroxide
It’s really quite amazing. I stated rather verbatim what you posted to numerous people.
I’m an engineer, not a doctor. Yet somehow, no doctors could answer how a vaccine could be made for a coronavirus or flu virus. It always used to be called a flu shot, not vaccine and they admitted no guarantee of protection via strain dependent selection.

There must be stacks of BALLOTS everywhere.
