CNBC's Meg Tirrell reports on the newest Covid variant the World Health Organization is monitoring. It is currently in 39 countries and remains low in prevalence right now.
Delta wasn't an "immediate threat" either until it was.
Fuck, man. I remember in March 2020 telling my level-headed aunt and uncle that this thing could potentially go on for a years. "Just look at the Spanish Flu, that pandemic took two years to get control of and we're way more globalized now." "Yeah, but we're so much further ahead in medicine, I think we'll have this handled in 4 months or less." They didn't account for the pandemic to be hyper-politicized and our horribly mishandled management of the whole goddamn thing. I want out of this.

I had similar discussions at the start. Shocking that people are so daft about this stuff in a way.
