"This minor symptom could be a sign that you have Lancia Delta Integrale variant!"
"These scientists say super Covid could emerge any time, with insane killing potential"
"This virus emerging in (insert country here) could be even worse than Covid!"
"Look at this perfectly healthy (actually has leukemia) boy who died of Covid-19"
"The ice in Siberia is melting and revealing long hidden viruses that could cause the next pandemic"
