Earlier this month, Dr Tom Peacock, a virologist at Imperial College London, sounded the first alarm over the new B. 1.1529 variant after posting details on a genome-sharing website.
In fact, Kereng Masupu, co-ordinator of Botswana’s Presidential Covid-19 Task Force, has confirmed in a statement that the new variant has already been found in vaccinated people in the nation. He said the emergence of the variant “reinforces the fact that this invisible enemy we are dealing with is very unpredictable”,The ‘Nu’ variant is spreading rapidly throughout South Africa.

It also contains mutations which make it more contagious, as well as other unknown mutations unseen previously.
So there is the Delta strain. Is this the kylie Minogue strain?
Just get vaccinated. Stupid anti-vaccers. Us others shouldn't need to be protected from YOU. Why are overseas persons still arriving? SA has infected persons arriving from NSW and VIC. SA had zero cases before their arrival. It really SUCKS
😂 idiots
media grubs just cant leave it alone spreading fear everywhere
Close the border this time quickly
Australian government from Federal to state killing more than covid domestic violence , homeless , alcohol and drug abuse and youth crime !
Perhaps they will finally pay some attention to HCQ and Ivermectin. It works well.
Great just what we need!
Noooo
worry some indeed
GregHuntMP said it's nothing to worry about, he and SneakyScott have a lot of experience?
Covid - the gift that keeps giving.
We can always rely on the “experts” to try to crank up the panic and make predictions that end up being completely and utterly wrong.
This is how they justify boosters
Heard it all before piss off
Experts specifically quoted as saying they don’t think the new variant is stable, and that there’s no evidence that it’s highly transmissible, and that it’s a concern to watch only at this time.
... to the globe
It wouldn’t surprise me if it spreads after Xmas or New Year’s.
Yeah yeah , keep the fear alive
So why am I being forced to take a jab, or lose my job, if it will be ineffective on this strain? 🤷♂️
Spreading the fear faster than the virus ever could. Never takes Murdoch media long 🙄🙄
Stop publishing this sh*t. We don't care anymore.
Of course there is, of course this is 'the next big bad'... and yet, most of the population still wont get it.
$ELLING FEAR
Scaremongering is starting again since it’s a very cold winter on the other side of the world so it looks like the usual flu, sometimes killer strong influenza that kills thousands for decades & the viral pneumonia which affects many frail elderly people & compromised immune ppl
'NU' variant 🤣🤣🤣 Africa don't believe in this bs they even came out, you are a joke you are the only ones starting chaos, we see you!
Go away. Just. Go away!
🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻 😂😂😂 take your fear rubbish elsewhere
Oh, was the Delta strain serious?
Gee must have nearly used up all your credits with ShutterStock and Getty Images by now, searching scary virus images. 🙃
If it attacks anti vaxxers who gives a fUcK.
Mmmm, pepperoni
Enjoy Christmas this year people because restrictions will be back before we know it
