[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The article also states:

While the CDC said it was “too soon” to know whether BA 2.86 will lead to more severe illness in comparison to other variants, officials said that data from locations where it has been discovered have not shown any signs that it is particularly virulent. These areas have not seen signs of increased transmission – such as higher infection rates or emergency room visits – though CDC officials note it was “too soon” to analyze BA 2.86’s impacts based on these data.[/quote]

:roll: Today in the Washington Post

"This latest covid variant could be the best yet at evading immunity"

Which also restates, no indication that is it is more virulent or that it causes more severe illness. None. There have been three cases reported in the US, yet it's in the wastewater. Why is that? Because it looks like a little cold, so nobody even knows they have it. I wish I could understand the motive behind the media trying to make news out of this. What is it? It's way too early to have anything to do with the elections. [/quote]
