Pfffft, covids over with didn’t it get the memo?
No indication of how the virulence compares
So what?
There are literally billions (trillions?) of viruses mutating and changing into different variations and subvariations of themselves each and every day, yet we don’t hear about it or panic about it.
You know why? Because 99.999999999999999(etc)% of them aren’t all that more harmful to us as they were before they mutated/changed their variant.
Stopped trying to cause panic with this new Covid variant. Don’t worry about it. If you get it, you’re more than likely, statistically speaking, to be perfectly fine after your body’s immune system destroys it. Settle down. Have a cup of tea. Relax.
It’s been two and a half years. I probably sound pig-ignorant, but it’s just difficult to care anymore.
With all of the stuff going on in the world now I literally couldn’t care less. If someone really is concerned go buy an N95 mask and go back to isolating yourself from friends and family, I’m not certainly not doing the same

I am concerned about covid
