Oh? What about an X3Box?
I clicked on the link, got excited for a split second when I saw "Gold Box", then disappointed as I realized it had nothing to do with the D&D cRPGs.

There might be a new strain that combines Delta and Omicron.
I present…Deltacron!

Omicron like genetic structure inside the delta genome?!

A combination of these two coronas may be just as infectious as the "pure" omicron, combined with the delta's higher risk of severe symptoms. Time will tell.
Run like hell!!!
Where's my fraggin' Pi variant?? Or am I just being irrational?
I'm not sure it's that simple. But... you seem to know what you are talking about, and you're also more up-to-date than I am. So I really can't argue here.If it's just as infectious as "pure" omicron, and not more so, it's unlikely to spread very far. Omicron has too much of a headstart on it.
...Besides, there's also some discussion now about whether Deltacron might just be due to sample contamination in the lab:

There will definitely be more variants but it's possible that Pi won't be a noteworthy one or perhaps the next one won't be named Pi as people will hear "pie" and want to get it, because who doesn't like pie? The WHO has already skipped over two letters.
I've heard once they get to the end of the Greek alphabet they're considering using constellation names. Looking forward to the Big Dipper variant!
Oh, there could be trouble the other way, too. People keep hearing "pie" mentioned, buy more pie, and video card manufacturers can't build their cards because all the aluminum is going to making pie tins.There will definitely be more variants but it's possible that Pi won't be a noteworthy one or perhaps the next one won't be named Pi as people will hear "pie" and want to get it, because who doesn't like pie?
Please, this is scientific stuff, it will be Ursa Major!I've heard once they get to the end of the Greek alphabet they're considering using constellation names. Looking forward to the Big Dipper variant!
At university I once visited a course in stochastic theory. Lots of integral calculus and stuff. At one point, my mind was already in a haze, the professor wrote a formula on the blackboard. It consisted of a doubly nested function and if I recall correctly, it started with a latin alphabet A, followed by a greek α or somesuch, and since he had, apparently, run out of alphabets, a Sütterlin A.They could simply start using two Greek letters: alpha alpha, then alpha beta, and so on. Eventually, though, the variants are going to be different enough that COVID-19 will need to become COVID-20 (or whatever is next).
Anyone know if the antigen tests are good for true positive results, or if they are just as unreliable as with the negative ones?
Thanks. Then it seems likely that he (and likely the rest of the family as well) really has it. Good to know.They are generally good on reliable positives - false negatives tend to be the problem.
My brother and his family flew to Hawaii this week to reward their daughter on her upcoming graduation. I get the whole " virus is here to stay, we've got to get on with our lives", yet this flies in the face of everything I would currently do at the moment. All I can do is hope everyone stays healthy.
