WHO monitoring new coronavirus variant named 'Mu'

The World Health Organization has said it is monitoring a new coronavirus variant known as "Mu", which was first identified in Colombia in January 2021.

We don't need no stinking vaccine mandates. We have muscles. We run 8 minute miles. We can shoot it.




"Mu, known scientifically as B.1.621, has been classified as a "variant of interest", the global health body said Tuesday in its weekly pandemic bulletin.

The WHO said the variant has mutations that indicate a risk of resistance to vaccines and stressed that further studies were needed to better understand it.

"The Mu variant has a constellation of mutations that indicate potential properties of immune escape," the bulletin said."

Waiting for a mutation from Canada so we can call it a "snowflake variant."

Now "they" are scaring us by saying that "Mu" may be vaccine-resistant.

This whole COVID tragedy is almost becoming comical -- in a tragic sense.

Human beings can stand just so much.

Now with Labor Day next Monday, can we expect another surge?

More TV reports about packed hospitals? Ambulances waiting for hours to deliver patients to the ER?
Hospital staff worn out?

No wonder our collective mental health is in jeopardy.

FFS, why aren't we closing our borders?

to protect against the Delta variant?

Yep, this is the 3rd variant today that I have read about that seems like it may evade the vaccine.

So what is the alternative, ignoring Covid?

The Covid 19 virus in one way or another will be around for ever. The next few years will see high death rates until people who are susceptible to it either die off, or people gain some forms of resistance to it through vaccines or surviving infections. Eventually the death rates will drop to a level higher than the flu but within generally acceptable levels. The virus will mutate and vaccines will likely be required annually to account for the different versions and or booster shots

yeah. and the majority of the people that are gonna die off will be unvaccinated.

i guess they showed us (as many of their wives look for their next husbands).

Funny thing is, we knew this a year ago. People are so slow to learn. It's just the kind of world we live in. If it's not a sound bite or headline most Americans know nothing about any subject.

Yep, the vaccines will have provide some protection to most variants making the illness less severe for most people

 

[Noodlegawd]

to protect against the Delta variant?

No.

 

[CaughtInThe]

No.

why not?

 

[Noodlegawd]

why not?

Why?

 

[CaughtInThe]

Why?

aren't you suggesting that we need to close the border to save lives?

 

[Noodlegawd]

aren't you suggesting that we need to close the border to save lives?

I'm suggesting that closing the border might stop new variants that originate in other countries from coming here.

that's what delta is/was.

 

[Noodlegawd]

Did you bother to take notice of what this thread is about?

You understand that almost all cases in the US now are of the Delta variant, right?

did you realize that there are other variants too and this thread is about one that we're just watching closely at the moment.

Yeah. What's your point?

"There were anti-vaxxers during the polio pandemic that put hundreds of thousands of Americans into "iron-lung" machines that did the breathing for those afflicted. The vaccines were mandated for all before that virus could mutate into a variant. Do you know of anyone in America, who has polio today. Measles, Mumps, rubella were virus that flowed throughout our nation regularly and those viruses were almost wiped out until the children of the anti-vaxxers of those days started going out into the public arena. Reagan like Trump, stripped the national health systems and the national medical and scientific research facilities so he could push his first tax cut through. That resulted in no vaccine for the AIDS virus being found and over 90,000 Americans dying of AIDS during his two terms. There still has been no permanent vaccine found, just drugs to slow the effects of AIDS. Over 700,000 Americans have died from Aids since it came to our shores. Those 700,000 did not have vaccines to refuse but you do.
If 90,000 died during Reagan's terms and 700,000 total died of AIDS extrapolating those figures into this pandemic. Trump had 600,000 die due to the virus he allowed to come to America and let spread, that 600,00 figures out to be 4,680,000 A low estimate because of the voracious spreading among the unvaccinated and its ability to mutate in a more deadly variant of the virus that spreads faster thanks to you illiterate anti-vaxxers..."

Yes, I saw a respected Doctor on TV saying to expect a surge after Labor Day.
