India declares new 'Delta plus' variant of concern

The country has declared that a new variant, identified locally as "Delta plus", is one of concern.

Two dozen cases have been detected in three states, including the state of Maharashtra, federal health secretary Rajesh Bhushan told a news conference.

The ministry said Delta plus showed increased transmissibility, and it has told states to up their testing efforts.

The original Delta variant was first discovered in India and has managed to spread to the UK, now making up 99% of new confirmed cases.

Agree @x2boys the 'cautious but optimistic' which I suspect are the majority IRL are very quiet on these threads - I suspect most stay away for their sanity

Quite possibly,@shineynewapple21
It's either covid ,what pandemic ? Or we are all doomed on this board 🤣

Excellent idea @x2boys. A third middle ground CV topic for rational people. 😀

In order to bring posters on this thread together here’s a cat in some PPE.

Can't believe we've had 8 pages and nobody has pointed out that kitteh is wearing its mask wrong (under nose). No wonder we have a new variant. How can I report this selfish feline?

Dogs Funny how it's always the cats.
