* The omicron subvariant, known as BA.2, is 1.5 times more transmissible than the original omicron strain, according to Danish scientists.
* The U.K. Health Security Agency on Friday said BA.2 has a “substantial” growth advantage over the original omicron, known as BA.1.
* Nearly half of U.S. states have confirmed the presence of BA.2 with at least 127 known cases nationwide as of Friday.
There are already dozens of cases across almost half of the U.S. of a new Covid subvariant that’s even more contagious than the already highly transmissible omicron variant.
Nearly half of U.S. states have confirmed the presence of BA.2 with at least 127 known cases nationwide as of Friday, according to a global data base that tracks Covid variants.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in a statement Friday, said although BA.2 has increased in proportion to the original omicron strain in some countries, it is currently circulating at a low level in the U.S.

Omicron is 3 times more contagious than delta: research
The Latest Covid Variant Is 1.5 Times More Contagious Than Omicron
3 X 1.5 = 4.5
Soon corona will break the sound barrier!
The positive note is that, while the variant is 'faster', the increase in speed (speed of spread) is decreasing. So there is a limit to the series.
The series or numbers has to decrease or the
(A) the virus would break the speed of sound.
(B) The experts will have to pick up the rail road tracks and reset them, because they are veering too far from the truth into la-la-land.
Could the sickness be as fast as one shown in an episode of a Star Teck series, where infected people touches another person, who is instantly infected and reaches out to touch a 3rd person and so forth? So a whole room of people is infected and dies inside of a minute?
It was a very cool visual. The room was a 2 story sphere and the infected and deceased people formed a spiral chain of monkeys.
What is cornier, the Star Teck spinoff episode or today's society?
The variant is spreading about 55% faster than the alpha strain - CNN
- Delta 1.55 X alpha
- Omicro(m) (Joe Biden pronunciation) 3 X faster than delta
- New variant is 1.5 times faster than Omicro(m)
1.55 x 3 X 1.5 = 10.4625
So is the new variant really 10.4625 times faster than corona version alpha?
Will scientists want to walk it back at some point?
Will 'scientists' and "journalists" give better descriptions instead of ledes like 3X faster or other click bait vague, scary descriptions.
Pretty sure corona version omega will bore right through the walls faster than gamma rays!
As Brigade of Trucks Reaches Canada’s Capitol, Spineless PM Trudeau Hides in “Covid Isolation” Despite 2 Negative Tests and Guidelines Saying Fully Vaxxed “Don’t Need to Isolate”
Trudeau has double secret probation covid. It explains why he is fully vaxxed and has two negative tests, but still has to quarantine.
Nothing to do with Trudeau being a jackass legislator.
Is Biden next?
America’s elected coroners are too often a public-health liability
And the man with no brain weighed in at 8:32 AM. The fool does not know the difference between dying with COVID or dying from COVID. The fool thinks, if he can quote someone he can portray as an authority and do so in a NPR tone of voice that it will carry the day. No dice.
Go back to your pictures 8:32!

I know you are but what am I?
Lapides aren't you tired of being a joke?
Someone named 2:52. So what do we have?
We have a specific person, who thinks it is okay to raise the price of insulin for diabetics.
Diabetics probably have larger health bills anyways, more so than the average person. So why is 2:52 okay with raising the cost of their meds? Was a diabetic mean to him/her?
People with low blood sugar can get cross, but that is the disease speaking.
your sister never tires of me
What you never tire of, is stroking your ego.
So Fred, do you agree with Biden that diabetics should pay for insulin or is Biden a low life for jacking up the cost of insulin?
