New COVID-19 variants that emerge could cause more serious illness and fatalities than previous strains, some scientists warn.

Though the Omicron variant had milder symptoms, that may not be the case for future strains, experts told the Guardian.

Shouldn’t we be up to Covid 22 by now?

Especially with Omicron. I know there are more technical measures of what constitutes a new strain vs a variant, but the virus is called SARS-CoV2 because it caused SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). Omicron variant doesn't typically cause SARS.

Well, I’m an expert and I believe an asteroid could hit the erf and destroy us all in the next few days.

Who cares about covid in the face of such a hugh and seris possibility as an asteroid? Not me I’ll tell you.

Guaranteed weather forcast for any day of the year: "There will be a 50% chance of rain tomorrow."

Financial broker CYA sales pitch: "You could gain 50% over the next year if you buy this investment."

Doctor CYA language: "You have a 50% change of regaining more back mobility if you agree to this operation."

IMHO, might, possibly, could .... are words frequently used by someone who wants wiggle room when trying to sell you something.

OK then scientists, stop talking and develop medicinal help. With all this mutating, therapeutics sound like a needed addition to the fight. (Maybe you could test some already in use, hint hint.)

Butt, just in case, let’s mask back up and get quarterly booster shots.

And don't forget to wear a condom.

It could be that the only safe thing to do is whatever the politicians say. Or not. Could go either way.

More fear-mongering by money-grubbing scientists funded by big pharam, globalists and leftist NGO’s.

I thought these so-called ‘scientists’ take into consideration ‘all’ possibilities. They left out the other 2. I will fix the opinion made by these partisan payed-off pin-heads...

“Future COVID variants could be more deadly, as well as be less lethal. Or most likely mutate into harmless almost benign variants not much more threatening than the common cold...

... is the sentiment of level headed independent objective scientists.”

BS, science shows that as viruses mutate they get weaker not worse. This is more fear mongering and hysteria. Look up the history of OC43 and you see what I mean.

Well, CCP and Fauci developed an arsenal together, and Bill Gates did smirk a creepy way when he said, “The next pandemic will get more attention....” (insert creepy smile here). Who smiles about a pandemic ‘getting attention’. It was a triumpant smirk.

Viruses as a rule don’t get more deadly, but immune systems may get much weaker. The mRNA jabs are destroying immune systems and that can make what would normally be a mild infection a deadly one. I do not think we are done with this virus and I do expect another wave which may well be bigger than the last one and more deadly. The culprit will not be a mutated virus but deficient immune systems from multiple mRNA vaccine jabs.

Ivermectin was not yanked off the market.

You just need to get a prescription from a doctor who can think.

And then get it from a small pharmacy who can also think. That would be NOT Walgreens who has decided that they know better than your doctor.
