The family of variants, nicknamed "FLiRT," after their mutations, include KP.2, which is now the dominant variant in the United States. In recent weeks, KP.2 quickly overtook JN.1, the omicron subvariant that drove a surge in COVID cases this past winter.

Currently, KP.2 accounts for one in four infections nationwide, according to the latest data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

During a two-week period ending April 27, KP.2 made up nearly 25% of cases in the U.S., up from about 10% during the previous two-week period ending on April 13. After KP.2, the next most common variant is JN,1, which accounts for 22% of cases, followed by two JN.1 subvariants, JN.1.7 and JN.1.13.1.
 
Why are they are spelling it:

FLiRT -what's with the lowercase letter i?
 
How do you wash a hog?

First kick it repeatedly where it most hurts .

Virus mutations occur naturally and all of the time .
There is a history of mutations that transfer faster but never with increased virulence .
As this so called "parent" virus ( still never isolated anywhere at any time) was like a weak dose of the common cold beforehand , this new alleged variant is close to harmless .

And if this soppy story continues , try and get info from top independent sources because WHO , FDA and CDC will never be honest .

Yeah? So? The Chinese infected the world with a new disease. It's here forever. Just like the flu.

Nothing to panic about.

COVID can leave behind a blood clot ....... voice of experience. Demand UltraSound before these things get big and dangerous. Mine showed up in my left leg which began to swell. It had been there a while. Go to the ER immediately. Doctors determined it was COVID as the culprit.

The blood thinner came in at $720.00 per month.
 
No, those who continue to wear masks are not thinking for themselves.

Masks don't stop viruses.
True, masks do not stop viruses.

However, we are going to wear our masks. If we are not thinking for ourselves then who is thinking for us?
 
Cool. If you're going to leave your home wear a mask.
