A researcher in Cyprus has discovered a strain of the coronavirus that combines the delta and omicron variant, Bloomberg News reported on Saturday.
Leondios Kostrikis, professor of biological sciences at the University of Cyprus, called the strain “deltacron,” because of its omicron-like genetic signatures within the delta genomes, Bloomberg said.
So far, Kostrikis and his team have found 25 cases of the virus, according to the report. It’s still too early to tell whether there are more cases of the strain or what impacts it could have.

"Deltacron". Seriously?
I'm expecting any day for some MSM virologist to blurt, "Covid t-Veronica strain!!".
Covid-Trumpicon, according to Dems the deadliest of all.
Right, and the best thing to do is to blindly keep following these "leaders" who gambled all of our wealth, all of our health, even gambled with our children's futures.
Trial them.
Then do wherever it leads you.
I think capital punishment is not out of the question, especially if they do not relent and keep pitting us against each ist. Those are not leaders. They're something else.
Deltacron. This one sounds a bit more serious. Hopefully they are working on a new vaccine to eradicate it. Never a better time to trust your health authorities,your government and your mainstream news media. Exciting times ahead.
