The 'Worst Variant' Is Here

(CNN) Nearly two-and-a-half years since the coronavirus pandemic began, the most infectious and transmissible variant yet has arrived.

Repeated Covid-19 waves have left millions of people dead, with only vaccines helping to blunt the toll. Now the virus is spreading again — evolving, escaping immunity and driving an uptick in cases and hospitalizations. The latest version of its shape-shifting, BA.5, is a clear sign that the pandemic is far from over.

The newest offshoot of Omicron, along with a closely related variant, BA.4, are fueling a global surge in cases — 30% over the past fortnight, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

In Europe, the Omicron subvariants are powering a spike in cases of about 25%, though Dr. Michael Ryan, the executive director of WHO's Health Emergencies Program, has said that number may actually be higher, given the "almost collapse in testing." BA.5 is on the march in China, ratcheting anxieties that major cities there may soon re-enforce strict lockdown measures that were only recently lifted. And the same variant has become the dominant strain in the United States, where it accounted for 65% of new infections last week, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Yes, this one is so bad that most people don't even realize they have it. Total hospitalized inpatients are actually fewer than the number of patients on ventilators during the initial and delta surges. Next to nobody in the ICU with it.

Not too mention that with therapeutics the risk of hospitalization can be reduced by as much as 90%. History will not look well at how this pandemic was handled, particularly early on.

Just to mention: the current "worst variant ever" has 1 person in the Knox region (19 counties) in the ICU and zero on ventilators.

Maybe this explains whats happening.
Dr. Robert Malone: "It's called immune imprinting. And what the government has bought is the perfect vaccine combination to cause this to get even worse."

Yep, it’s continuously getting weaker and more transmissible. Which is the typical evolutionary path for viruses.

Given how infectious the new variant is it seems only proper and continual use of n-95 masks would have any impact. The "masking" that the majority of people do simply won't help.

That's why we'll get a new mask mandate....

None will work , too many people are done with the nonsense
