re: The next covid variant will be more contagious than Omicron

However, there is nothing that says a localized strain could mutate to a more infectious and severe variety.

i mean ive been pretty anti covid on this board

but omicron was more contagious and virulent than both delta and the OG strain

it also caused more hospitalizations

the death toll also appears to be on the upslope

now they could be manipulating all of this data or whatever, but the current situation doesnt seem too great to me

and if these variants are escaping immunity that quickly we will never keep up with them with jabs
