webfact Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Scientists all over the world have been keeping a close eye on a new COVID-19 variant, which is a hybrid of the Delta and Omicron variants and is capable of attacking the lungs, like Delta, and is as easily transmissible as Omicron, according to the Centre for Medical Genomics at Mahidol University. The hybrid, which is called Deltacron, has mutated into several sub-variants, namely XBC, XAY, XBA and XAW, especially XBC, which has registered 130 mutations. The centre said that Deltacron was detected in the Philippines early this year and then quickly disappeared. It has since re-emerged in various sub-variants. In a worst case scenario, the centre said that Deltacron may be as deadly as Delta, which has killed about 3.4% of those infected, which is twice the fatality rate of Omicron, citing a report published in Nature Reviews Immunology.

tomazbodner Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 A university in US managed to combine original Wuhan virus with Omicron, to make it as easy to transmit as Omicron, but has 80% fatality rate (they tested this on mice, where omicron killed none, this virus killed 8/10). I just wonder with the news like this hitting the internet, and knowing how unprotected university labs are - how long would it take before that samples are stolen and distributed to public by some doomsday preacher. It would be a perfect time for that as well, since we're now in "mai pen rai" ignorance period, where people are fed up listening about it and downplay it. Actually, if that uni lab could do it, how difficult would it be for some threat actor else to do the same? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that is not what happened, you read a headline and ran with an incorrect theory. The research is not gain-of-function research, meaning it did not amplify the virus strain or make it more dangerous. In fact, this research made the virus replicate less dangerous. What they did was standard research to look at the function of the genes and proteins - they did not make a new virus, or mutate it into something more dangerous. I suggest you search for the article that covers this - NEIDL Researchers Refute UK Article about COVID Strain 3 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand is one of a handful of countries in the world still reporting Covid on the front pages. They also are one of a handful of countries where mass masking is still common. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do your own research As opposed too what, meaningless dribble on the likes of facebook and other 'out there' junk? Always cringe when folk say don't read MSM, do your own research etc, which basically means they'll believe anything other than what the big researchers have found out. The earth is automatically flat if the BBC or CNN say it's round, etc etc. ???? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
