A new Covid variant that is behind a resurgence in hospital admissions may be more deadly than previously thought, research suggests.

BA.2.86 โ€” or 'Pirola' โ€” is a mutation on the Omicron BA.2 subvariant and is the ancestor of the currently dominant JN.1, which is responsible for more than three in five Covid cases as of January 6.

I’m so glad that a “study” warned me. I’ll await someone with actual knowledge.

Hurry and get immunization from this threat to mankind. Not as much of a threat as white supremacy of course. Or ARs. Or climate change. The 100,000+ ODs? Meh!

The only cure for this variant is mail-in voting, right?

You might want to give this some thought. The Feds need someplace to put all of Joe Pedo illegal aliens. Time to cull the herd.
