New Covid variant with 46 mutations worries experts in France

So far, 12 people infected with the new variant have been identified in study

While the world is grappling with the highly infectious Omicron, strain of Covid, scientists in France have identified a potentially worrying new variant, which has 46 mutations.

Named IHU, the new B.1.640.2 variant has so far infected 12 people living in southeastern France. The first case was linked to a person with a travel history to Cameroon, western Africa, said researchers in a paper published on medRxiv.


However, experts were quick to announce that just because a new variant had been discovered, that did not necessarily mean IHU will prove as infectious as other strains, including Omicron.


In the analysis, the authors found “46 mutations” which had not been spotted in other countries, nor labelled a variant under investigation by the WHO.


All quite interesting, hope France can get that protected designation of origin label on it.

It's old news was "found" before omicron and only 12 people, sounds more like the msm stirring up shite again

It doesn't look to be anything special regarding risk. I notice that the famous loony French scientist Didier Raoult is one of the authors.

It's just a tactic to try and make life hard for his challengers in the coming election over there.

The vast majority of the public are behind him on this. Which tends to be a problem with the elderly who refuse to get vaccinated as they see it as unnecessary. But they are the very ones who will clog up the hospitals if the outbreak gets out of control.
