2. You are about to see a spike in OK

3. Ooooooooooo boy...

AND today on MSNBC, field epidemiologist Dr. Anne Rimoin was talking about the Mu variant.

The Mu variant??? We're already up to "M"? I know the Greek alphabet doesn't have the same letter progression our more conventional one does, but still! We're up to "M" already!?!?!?!

Certainly is a VIRUS progression, I WILL say THAT.

4. Mu started in S Africa and then migrated to Europe and N Africa.

It's coming. And it promises to be vaccine resistant.

6. Maybe we should all buy stock in ivermectin for the MOOOOOO variation
