Also, they need to stop romanticizing the 80’s in terms of character design. It pisses me off so much to hear these nerds (who never took a design class in their life) talk about the superiority of the 80s more “realistic” style when the designs only looked decent standing still.

Very interesting analyses about the virology of

, which may explain the faster spread of this variant.
According to a new lab study, Omicron infects & multiplies ~70x faster than the Delta variant and the wild type SARS-CoV-2 in the human bronchus, but not in the lung.
