GENEVA, May 17 (Reuters) - A senior World Health Organization official said on Tuesday that high levels of transmission of the coronavirus among unvaccinated people, such as in North Korea, creates a higher risk of new variants.

The isolated country, a WHO member, is grappling with its first acknowledged COVID-19 outbreak, fuelling concerns over a major crisis due to a lack of vaccines and medical infrastructure.

Just in time for the mid-terms.

I guess mail-in ballots is next on the agenda.

Too wise for mail-in ballots ... the Democrat/Communists will move directly to text-in ballots ...

How the heck do they even know what’s going on relating to health matters in N. Korea? They certainly aren’t counting cases.

They’ve leaned to test their latest work within a static population.

I just got over a variant... it was basically a flu, nothing more. I’ve had myriad flues in my lifetime, this covid variant was no worse. I even have several comorbidities, and was somewhat nervous about getting it, but alas, it was about on par with other flues I’ve had in the past, and was even not as bad as some of them were. For me anyways, your milage may vary.

Yes its more contagious, but certainly not more deadly. Covid 19 itself was what? 99.9% survivable itself? Omicron even more survivable. All this variant talk is over the top. How many people in nk are dying from it? How many healthy are dying fro. It? It’s time to move on and just live with the fsct that there is a virus that is possibly a bit more desdly,than regular flu, (though we will never know for sure because they fudged the numbers a lot), and just live with that fact.

Should be no threat to the rest of the world, seeing as though NK is the Hermit Kingdom with no one going in and no one going out. Well, there may be some cross-border visits with China, though those would be closely monitored by China.

#####fuelling concerns over a major crisis due to a lack of vaccines########

How is this narrative [still] going? They’re not a vaccine because you can get the virus, spread it and even die from the virus. Yet they’re still pushing this BS narrative! And idiots are believing this crap....still wearing masks and gloves. I have lost hope in humanity. They will fall for this as well, run out and get their 15th shot, then blame the unvaccinated.

Here’s your daily COVID fear porn, right on schedule.
And, it’s from the most science illiterate collection of “journalists” in the multiverse.

Stay tuned for the climate change fear porn, and at least twenty or so white supremacist/gun/abortion fear porn issues throughout the day.

We’ll keep the light on for ya.

Nope, not the unvaxxed.

The vaxed are thenones causing vaccine escape, not the unvaxxed.

WHO needs to go back and re-read that classic children’s story, “The Boy Who Cried ‘Variant’”.
