XBB is a variant of omicron and has already shown to be extremely immune evasive

Quote:
XBB, the new so-called "nightmare" COVID-19 variant, is spreading rapidly in parts of the world and has already made its way to the U.S., researchers say.
XBB is a variant of omicron and has been dubbed the "nightmare variant" in Singapore. It is extremely immune evasive and has also shown that it might be immune to current vaccines.
"The XBB variant wave in Singapore will soon be their 2nd worst for the pandemic," Dr. Eric Topol, founder of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, tweeted. "The reinfection rate prior to the wave was 5% and now up to 17%, which tells us about the immune escape properties of this variant (akin to BQ.1.1, very high level of immune evasion)"

Here we go again. The gift that kee[ps on giving


Thanks China

What's the Infection Fatality Rate? 0.1%?

Danish study found that with omicron "The infection fatality rate (IFR) was 6·2 (CI: 5·1-7·5) per 100 000 infections."

Is this the one they've been feverishly working on in the lab with the 80% mortality rate? If so, it seems like they made their deadline in the nick of time.

This is just the evolution of the virus. More contagious less deadly.

The west has moved on. The war in Ukraine became the democrat's next "thing" that has captured all of their attention.

That's because far too many Republicans have an infatuation with Russia.

The Dems have to keep the Fear of Covid at least in the backs of our minds because there is little doubt that we will once again be facing a terrible pandemic by the 2024 elections.

I'm not sure who all these republicans are. If anything, it is the democrats that pay the most attention to Putin and the things Russia is doing. Most traditional republicans have always hated Russia, or at least had a negative opinion of it.


I do recall a case where an American volunteered for the Russian army. A very confused baby boomer. I believe he was killed in combat. That's the only case I have heard of that happening. Apparently, anyone who wants to go fight on the side of Russia can, but so far, very few takers. So it doesn't sound like there is much support for Russia to be found here in the USA.



China and Russia are fairly close allies now. When are democrats going to start quitting China? Supporting China is supporting the same side as Russia now. Are democrats going to continue calling me a racist xenophobic bigot for not eating enough Chinese food, like during the pandemic??? Will Nasty Pelosi be putting on any more sales pitches to tell everyone to hurry down to Chinatown to spend their dollars?


We know who democrats work for. The axis working against us.
