This is a bit over the top. C1.2 hasn’t even been named as a variant of interest. There have only been around 100 samples of the variant found (per WHO). We simply don’t know enough about it or its reproduction rate to be labelling it a “doomsday” variant.https://twitter.com/newscomauHQ/status/1432450061560995847 …

This news story seems to take the genetic distance from the ancestral strain and present that as a measure of transmissibility

The preprint does highlight this, so I don't think it's entirely unfair to note that it *may* be more transmissible, but saying anything more concrete at this point seems premature

It's only been detected 101 times since May anywhere in the world and, for all we know, could already be extinct or close to it. Unless it gains major "market share" in a delta country, there's no cause for concern. This is purely a Eric'demic.
