  1. So … have we completely given up on those stupid Greek letters? 😂

  2. I feel like we're gonna be as affected as how China is It's scary not to watch how they're struggling but seeing how serious a situation is on their side it's gonna be catastrophic and other countries including in United States I feel like there's many people that don't believe in the virus but Is there any hope that this will go away

  3. Stop all travellers who travelling and send travellers back to their country

  4. Kind of shocked to see how many people in the US are still doing the pandemic.

  5. 2:36 Makes zero sense to me… To get a vaccine that Don't prevent you from getting sick or passing it on… It's definitely not to protect others because you can STILL pass it on anyway ,Right?……. Remember when breakthroughs were a Conspiracy theory and the flu just magically disappeared ????????… Remember

  6. XJ-13 is also a powerful strain 🤤

  7. Sure it does. Go hide inside your house now!

  8. The young news reader didn't get the memo… COVID vaccines don't stop you for catching the virus it helps you avoid going to hospital by lessening the worst of the symptoms!!.🤔💕🇺🇸🇺🇦

  9. What varent are we on now? #178

  10. Next time something comes around we'll just let it go around and get over it much faster…. masks and lockdowns and vaccines just delay the inevitable….

  11. Vaccine new variable booster- new variable booster -new variable -booster–new variable / tripledemic booster new variable ….. Did I leave anything out?…. Why not just call it Covid-22?

  12. Mask if you wanna mask. Vax if you wanna vax.

  13. 🎶This is the song that doesn't end! Yes it goes on and on my friends! 🎶

  14. To see a pandemic variant being reported while maskless in maskless crowds is priceless.

  15. I never got a stimulus check and they keep sanctioning my food stamps.

  16. I really want to know the truth about COVID 19 and it's "accidental" release. What was the purpose?

  17. Another useless variant to add to the collection.

  18. Yay!!!! New Variant! Waiting for Spanish Flu to make a comeback too

  19. Our 4 year old got his bivalent booster today. Cmon parents, get it done.

  20. This is why I still wear my mask.

  21. I got my nutz on the chin of xbb variant

  22. Hope it gives the x2 the number of Herman Cain awards from last time.

  23. Chinese can spread new variant, be careful.

  24. How much did you get paid for this Red Miller

  25. Anytime these corrupt political"doctors"say they are "concerned" you're rights , money and freedoms are at risk.

  26. Very informative! They told us what the symptoms were and everything we needed to know about this variant!

  27. Unvaccinated blood will be worth millions by 2030.

  28. Gain of function escaped and now.. here we are.

  29. Let's lock down for 2 years again, that got rid of COVID last time 😄

  30. I couldn’t say goodbye to my grandmother. She died from Covid. They wouldn’t let me see her

  31. BF7 is coming soon from China, to join the party
