Emerging JN.1 subvariant clade of COVID, is a derivative of BA.2.86 and JN.1 was detected in the United States in September and has also been identified in 11 other countries; 99% of COVID variants

are part of the XBB group of Omicron variant but JN.1 is surging in Europe; as before, sub-optimal non-sterilizing COVID mRNA shot with its selective pressure drives non-lethal, infectious variants

More transmissible yet not more lethal than prior strains, in fact much less lethal. As data is shared, I will update but at this stage, please go about life as usual, protecting the vulnerable first while living life as usual, no lockdowns. No more vaccine, no booster for it mismatches the circulating antigen. There will be viral immune escape and emergence of more variants.
