Seems like they are detecting new cases all over, this amount of #mutation was supposed to be *impossible* - and yet, here we are. The working #theory is that it #evolved in an #immune #compromised person - but there is no #evidence for that. The only plus side is that a #pcr test detects it. Fingers crossed no increased #death rate.New #covid #variant incoming, which looks like it will be named " #omicron " and " nu " is too confusing: https://yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.. It is a *massive* #mutation from anything we have previously seen, we are now dealing with something completely unknown. It's already being picked up all around the world now too. Fingers crossed it is not more #deadly ... But we'll see...
As I suspected, the #idea of #longcovid being a #sideeffect of #covid is actually mostly #bullshit https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/long-..
