Here is the thing. All the press you are seeing about this "new" variant is a fucking lie. It has been around for months and months. If it is so virulent and lethal we should've been locked down a long time ago over it. I had to dig forever to find this article and ones from July and earlier that mention the b.1.1.529 variant, they are actively burying it by blasting the headlines the past few days about this variant just now. Full court press.
It has been around at least since July. This is a pure fear campaign unleashed on the public. Why? Scared little bitches comply with little resistance.

It looks like they kept updating the article with new information but never changed the publication date. It's certainly poor practice but doesn't prove anything beyond that.
