    There should be no surprise here for the "scientists" at the CDC.

    However, at the delta variant shrinks we should expect more claims of more dangerous variants to come out from those that want the world living in fear of life.

    The Delta variant was supposed to be so much more dangerous, then when that started to fizzle, there was Lambda, then, Mu.......neither gained much traction or, interest so now........ta-da! A new, MUCH more dangerous variant has arrived! Just in time to impose even more restrictions, more mandates, more, "you can't celebrate Christmas," orders.

    Chart shows how quickly the new coronavirus variant spread in part of South Africa, totally supplanting Delta


    © South Africa Health Department/Insider A chart showing different coronavirus variants over time in part of South Africa. An arrow, added by Insider, points out the blue spike representing, B.1.1.529, which became dominant within 2 weeks over the Delta variant (in red). South Africa Health Department/Insider


    • The variant's high level of mutations to the spike protein is causing concern for scientists.
    As of Friday, the variant had been detected in South Africa, Botswana, and Hong Kong. Its origin is unclear.


    The Financial Times produced another chart illustrating the speed of the variant's rise:





    "Vaccines are the strongest weapon in our arsenal to fight that virus," he said. He also called for people to avoid mass gatherings and to wear masks as scientists track the variant......snip~

    Looks like its originating in South Africa to me.

    This strain is said to have a high degree of mutations on the spike protein. The COVID vaccines target the spike protein. I'm sure this is just a coincidence.

    Governor of New York declares a State of Emergency.


    'It's Coming': N.Y. Gov. Kathy Hochul Issues Omicron Warning, Declares State of Emergency.....



    New York Governor Kathy Hochul has declared a state of emergency over the Omicron variant of COVID-19, stating, "It's coming." The variant is believed to be possibly more contagious and immune-resistant than previous COVID-19 variants.


    "We've taken extraordinary action to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and combat this pandemic," Hochul wrote in a statement. "While the new Omicron variant has yet to be detected in New York State, it's coming."


    The state of emergency will allow officials to more quickly acquire critical supplies for combatting the pandemic, Hochul's declaration said. It will also allow the state Department of Health to limit non-essential, non-urgent procedures for hospitals and healthcare systems with limited capacity. This way, they can focus on caring for those most needing treatment for COVID-19.


    The emergency protocols will take place December 3, and will be reassessed based on the latest COVID-19 data on January 15.....snip~
