A new Covid variant that is behind a resurgence in hospital admissions may be more deadly than previously thought, research suggests.
BA.2.86 — or 'Pirola' — 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.
Both strains have around 60 more spike protein mutations than the original coronavirus and over 30 more than other Omicron variants such as BA.2 and XBB.1.5.

LOL
I remain happily UNvaccinated
>> A little early for this isn’t it? the election is still 10 months away.

The least credible thing in our world today- science.

I’ll wait until the Pentium version comes out.
Well, since the Trump MAGA Extremist Greatest Threat To Our Democracy jazz isn’t working…
This report was prepared even in advance of releasing this variant from a lab. Who would have ever dreamed that they would use bio engineered viruses to control the world and steal the elections.
Well, this is the ēlectiō variant./sarc
At the end of 2023, Covid cases worldwide were running about 15% of what they were at the end of 2022. Deaths this year are running about 20% of this time last year.
I just had COVID for the 3rd time. It wasn’t even a bad cold. The ONLY reason I stayed home from work is because I tested positive.
WE DON’T BELIEVE YOU!
Your credibility score is ZERO!
There’s that word May
Yeah, whatever.......
Dr. Fauci and the gain of function boys really created a good one!
You should read the comments at Daily Mail. Nobody’s buying it, most responses are very funny.
LOL. We need panic cheerleaders
“Give me a P, Give me an A...wave your banners high...”
They are still working in the labs supported by the government to come up with and release more deadly viruses to lower the population
