It was in the "news" about a month ago. Did it die in the bottom of a plastic beer cup at the Dixie Chicken?

Was the variant ever named? If not, I suggest Covidbaloo Caneck Caneck.

I heard the virus put racists notes on a students car stating "All Lives Matter" and "You Don't Belong Here" and was summarily cancelled. No word on the $1,200 reward though.

Whoever at A&M came up with that BV1 thing and was involved in that should have been fired. They were WAY to eager and excited to find a virus strain that had no symptoms and did nothing. That is a complete waste of time and resources. They clearly wanted their 15 mins of covid fame.

There are thousands of variants. Depending on location, some places will sequence more random swabs than others. When a new sequence is identified, it gets put into a database. That strain could very well have been the dominant strain in Texas in a few months, or it could have fizzled out. Epidemiologists track patters of strains and see how they spread. A strain that was highly infectious, but caused zero symptoms would've been a good thing to have - as it would provide immunity without any harmful effects.

The issue here is making a big deal out of what should have just been a routine thing. Other labs around the country are doing the same thing. Not sure if it was the researcher or the media that blew this thing up.

Right. It was just discovered in a lab at school. There was nothing unique about it and I don't think anyone in Texas was interested in promoting their own brand of virus.
I don’t say this in a braggedocious way. But it’s true. I’ve been right about everything.

The Eagle is the media definition of irrelevant.

Transfer portal. Already decided against Lubbock, as there were too many infectious agents already.

That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough
