I can't believe this is happening after we did absolutely nothing to stop it
I prayed to God really really hard one time for there to be an end to COVID. That should have been enough.
We prayed and prayed and prayed for a cure and all we got are 3 vaccines we don't want to take and doctors telling us we need to not do things we want to do, what could have possibly gone wrong?!?!
I mean if god is going to change his plan because we ask... Not much of a plan, is it?
How can you possibly say we did nothing?
How can you say anything g serious happened to prevent the development of novel strains? What has been done to address the roots of the issue?
Oh god, don't call it EG.5. all the loonatics are going to "uugg! UUuuggg! It says 5G! Dur iluminaties are not hiding it anymore!"
They're going to dumb no matter what it's called. Life finds a way (to dumb).
This just means it's a variant with changes to the virus' properties. Might come with decreased vaccine efficacy, possible increased severity or spread, but it's not necessarily an increased public health risk, that'd be a "variant of concern", which is when the variant significantly changes the way the virus behaves.

Omicron was the last VOC by the way, VOIs haven't been uncommon.
So they’re still going about Covid huh.
Must be desperate for clicks.
Yes, COVID is still killing and affecting people daily. Sorry you're ignorant.
Yes, people die. Get over it.
BTW, no need to insult everyone you disagree with.
Do you say the same about cancer? "Yes, people die. Get over it."
People do, still don't hear the media cry about it every week.
So you do think everyone should just "get over" people dying of cancer?
Also, there's news about cancer in the media all the time. What are you talking about?
Yes, there's news about everything, every day, yet I didn't find it cluttering my lemmy feed.
You: You don't hear about cancer in the media every week.
Also you: Of course you hear about cancer in the media every day.
Make up your mind.
Also- do you think people should get over cancer or not? Answer the question and stop avoiding.
Then set-up filters of GTFO Lemmy.
We are not paid to entertain you.
Need, want. Porque no los dos? Dunking on stupid is free dopamine.
Yeah I get it, your life is so sad that you need to make fun of strangers on the internet to get over it.
Oh no, I'm blessed to have the cognizance and capacity to denegrate willfully ignorant troglodytes. If only you could be so lucky.
That attitude is why so many suffered
Hail, Eris! 🍏
