The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed Friday it is now tracking a new COVID-19 variant of concern around the U.S. known as XBB, which has grown to make up an estimated 3.1% of new infections nationwide.

The strain's prevalence has grown furthest so far in the Northeast, according to the agency's weekly estimates. More than 5% of infections in the regions spanning New Jersey through Maine are linked to XBB, in this week's "Nowcast" from the CDC.

They are disappointed. They can't grab power if there isn't a "deadly surge".

Tney are pinning g their hopes on the respiratory virus that is affecting kids, likely hoping that it will take those kids that were missed by the abortion agenda. Biden has already declared he’d like to shut the nation down again for flu season, and order masks nationwide again.

Biden should change his motto to TAIV (Turn America into Venezuela)

So go get your modified DNA shot right away. Boost every 60 days. Make CBS and the state media proud of the work they do.

“XBB” — now that sounds very deadly, like the latest nuclear bomb or the latest stealthy bomber, with the potential to kill hundreds of millions.

No problem...they’ll add another letter or number like California did on license plates.

Sorry, my first post should have said “doctors want Biden to declare state of emergency over rsv”- which means another call to,shut nation down and order masks again. Alar ist head,ines stating things like “worse flue season in 13 years” etc

I didn’t remember exactly right. Biden did mention the rsv though

Maybe there is no XBB and it’s all about the midterms.

Or something.

Japan is in the midst of a Covid deathcount spike right now. There are probably some fearful people there. And there are probably some people there who laugh at the fear and ignore it.

The virus doesn’t care about either category.

Not t this crap with the “variants” again. It is nothing but fear porn to panic the herd for the slaughter.
