Give me a sec check how much my employer is owned by India. Zero percent. No, it's fine.

B.1.617.2 is what the CDC calls a "Variant of Interest". Which is one level below "Variant of Concern", which is what B.1.1.7 -- the dominant variant in the UK -- is.

B.1.617.2 has "Potential reduction in neutralization by post-vaccination sera". It's potential because it hasn't been measured; they're saying this because of similarity to a California variant.

tl;dr it's a nothingburger.

I think you mis-spelled "great excuse to extend the lockdown until 2025".

Wearing a contaminated mask will do that to you. It's actually really easy for that to happen, especially without proper training and hygeine. Fungal infections are hardly anything new in society, people breathe in spores all the time, and lungs especially are prone to them. If you wear a mask twice, chances are you're fighting off a mild fungal infection. If you wear a mask for more than 15 minutes in humid conditions, chances are. If you touch the inside of a mask, chances are. You fight most of them off, but some can get a hold.

No 'rona will "make" fungi grow in you. It's viral, and virii don't spontaneously evolve into cellular organisms in predictable manners.

Oh, yeah, I saw that headline, too. Wild if it's true.

But we're talking India, man. Filth central. People probably get all kinds of wild and woolly infections that would make an AIDS victim boggle. Especially after playing with all that government-approved, wuflu-fighting cowshitnpiss.

No that's the steroid treatment that some Indian doctors are using, allegedly.

Some people will get bacterial infections from wearing masks, especially since some places are mandating them for physical activity.

Yay, more fear porn.

How long till it turns out like the UK variant? Massive hysteria and in the end it was just a total nothingburger.

Negative three days.

Or forever, depending on if you mean in reality, or in the fear-industrial complex.

We need new slurs on the likes of "Wu Flu" and "Kung-Flu."

Maybe Cowrona?

"It can be caught by one in a million people, which is up from one in 10 million. Thus, making it more virulent."

"So, what you are saying is that shit's about to hit the fan and we should begin throwing stones and burning people who don't wear their masks alive?"

"No! That's completely ignor..."

"I can't hear you over this Covidiot's screams!"

Do you ever get the niggling feeling that you might be totally obsessed?

If not why not?
