WHO calls special meeting to discuss new Covid variant found in South Africa with ‘a large number of mutations'
2021-11-26
[CNBC]
  • WHO is monitoring a new Covid variant, scheduling a special meeting Friday to discuss what it may mean for vaccines and treatments, officials said.

  • The variant, called B.1.1.529, has been detected in South Africa in small numbers.

  • South African scientists have detected 30 mutations to the spike protein, the part of the virus that binds to cells in the body, which could have implications for vaccine efficacy and transmissibility.

#13  Fair enough, Rambler.

#12  tw, it's also possible that some people had it, but the symptoms were so mild they never noticed, or at least never bothered to even get tested.

Some, perhaps all of that 27% have not yet been exposed, NN2N1, or not exposed enough to become infected.

Sorry TYPO corrected
As of today, after almost 23 Months of this pandemic, 86% USA population HAS NOT BEEN INFECTED

As of Nov 18th roughly 194,748,000+/- people or about 59% of the population have been fully C-19 vaccinated.

Since 86% has never been infected MINUS the 59% that has been VAX'ed it roughly EQUALS 27%+/- of the USA population has NEVER BEEN VAX'd and has never caught the C-19.

So what is this 27% doing that we all need to copy?

#6  If you've got patience and calm nerves, you can follow Baron de Rothschild's sage advice and buy now, against the panicked stampede out of SA stocks.

South Africa has one of the best-run, hugely profitable, rock-solid mining companies on the planet. SIBANYE STILLWATER pays an insane dividend and has in Neil Froneman the smartest CEO in the industry. Absurdly cheap now and easily worth twice the current price. All the analysts have price targets that are 70-120% above current levels -- not including the 11% dividend.

Merry Christmas!

#5  The "vaccines" never worked. This is just a way to make it "nature's" fault, not the faults of WHO, CDC, Fauxi, big pharma and the world gumming cabal.

But I also have to ask...
Give data for the last 28 Days.

South Africa
Cases in 28 days: 31,386
Deaths in 28 days: 667
A 2.12% Infection to Death rate

Michigan (USA)
Cases in 28 days: 181,849
Deaths in 28 days: 1,718
A 00.94 of 1% Infection to Death rate

USA
Cases in 28-Day: 2,275,673
Deaths in 28 days: 31,061
A 1.36% to Infection to Death rate.

Note: Since Jan. 2020 the USA Totals are: 48,126,574 claimed infections / 775,797 "Claimed Deaths", or a 1.61% Infection to Death rate.

(source: John Hopkins )

Plus we are also told C-19/21 infections are DOWN -8% nationwide. So I have to ask, given surrounding states don't yet have the same infection rates, and it is just the Michigan area. Which we know is a common relocation point for certain ethic/religious groups.

Was our CDC & Biden handlers asleep again and did their OPEN BORDER lax immigration enforcement contribute to this new latest sure to be Media Panic?
