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.

“If this new strain is deadlier, that means it’s a NEW virus they just cooked up.”
Is anyone monitoring Wuhan?
Me in 2020: I’ll follow their rules for my safety.
Me in 2024: Damn, I’m not gonna be that stupid twice! I’m not falling for it!
Good, I hope it kills 81 million democrats. I hope their death is slow, painful and drawn out. I also hope it kills most of the illegals Zhou has let into the country.
Am I hateful enough today?
The Election 2024 Variant
Covid is a non-starter. No one I know who tested positive for “Covid” recently has anything more than a bad cold.
However, I know a few folks who have had the flu recently who are suffering a lot with added pneumonia and strep. They are not testing positive for Covid, but the flu will no doubt will be used to drum up great fear for this year’s steal-du-jour
lol. very good. sounds like their commenters got an FR transplant.
Oh look - SCARE TACTICs. Ratchet up the FUD and try to open doors to control and power yet again...
Google PIRLOLA meaning in Latin.
You will plainly see that Morons are naming these variants.
Prepare to be shocked
My bad. Google PIROLA in Latin
Yep! Here we go!!!
Viruses always get weaker, unless it’s being juiced up in the lab.
I'll just read what the Swedes are doing. They were right on covid. No lock downs. They took the hit all at once. Herd immunity.
Well, the first few vaccines and boosters obviously didn’t work, as promised. Sorry we misled you.
However, the newest magic vaccine brew will work. We promise!!
Just yesterday, I talked to a friend who said both he and his wife had the coof, and both were fully vaccinated. A while back, he was shocked when I admitted to him that I had not gotten the clot shot. He insisted that I mask up in his presence. He wondered how I could be so irresponsible.
I hope he is finally realizing that he’s been scammed.
Never been vaxxed, never will. I’ve been sick as a dog since Saturday. Some weird virus going around. My whole body aches and my head feels like it’s in a vice. Slight fever (101) and lethargy I can’t shake. I’m normally an energetic 63 year old woman. This is not fun. Not the first rodeo being sick. This too shall pass.
No matter. The dead will continue voting Democrat just as they always have.
Tell the women and the Asians.
So far, most hospital cases respond quickly to treatment.
Sorry, I will not comply.
I am 74 and I use colloidal silver whenever I come down with something. Been using it since 1995 like that. I’ve learned to just take a big swig of it for the best results. Works miraculously, and quick. Zero side effects.
