This is NOT a new Variant - it was a contamination. Please adjust the title or close this thread. This is fake news. I’m so tired of panic headlines and alarming threads.

Ooof good then. Thanks for clarifying!

Forbes: “Scientists in Cyprus have found 25 cases of a strain of the coronavirus that they say combines elements of the delta and omicron variants, dubbing it “deltacron,” with a high proportion of the variant found in patients hospitalized for Covid-19, a professor involved in the identification of the new strain said Saturday. ”

Bloomberg: “A strain of Covid-19 that combines delta and omicron was found in Cyprus, according to Leondios Kostrikis, professor of biological sciences at the University of Cyprus and head of the Laboratory of Biotechnology and Molecular Virology.”

The Jerusalem Post: “A new coronavirus variant nicknamed "Deltacron" has been discovered in Cyprus, local media reported on Saturday.”

CNBC: “Cyprus reportedly discovers a Covid variant that combines omicron and delta”

Greek Reporter: “A new COVID-19 variant dubbed Deltacron has been discovered in Cyprus, with health authorities announcing a press conference for the coming week.”

Do variants even really matter? Don't variants become less deadly the more they mutate? OK its not great news that COVID as an entity is prolonged (and correct me if I'm wrong) but this isn't really the end of the world surely

Well i'd love to know if it's weaker or stronger, not in terms of transmittion but dangerosity of the virus to the body. If it's weaker, that's good news and I'll look forwar dto more and more variants if they get weaker and weaker

i was reading more about it and a lot of people are speculating its lab work contamination 

To me it always has been but we don't have proof yet but I speculate a lot that it is, because China didn't let WHO investigate properly so it means they are hiding something. That's my speculation Im not saying it's the truth

Actually no

Variant just means it's a new form of the original virus

Before the Spanish flu became a deadly virus, it was just a regular flu but its variant started killing everybody then

So rather than a weaker mutation its just becoming a totally seperate sickness to COVID? :saladga:

No no it's just in its nature to mutate

but it can go both ways either more contagious or deadlier 

If it becomes deadlier it will not survive that long in the nature because its hosts will die before contaminating someone else

If it becomes more contagious it is usually because it is less deadly 

In extremely rare cases a virus can become more contagious and deadlier at the same time but let's not talk about that haha
