> May I make a suggestion. This isn’t new. The preprint just got uploaded like two days ago but that’s it. If anyone does a Google search they’ll see this pops up as early as October/November https://deseret.com/coronavirus/2021/11/16/22785162/new-covi... and hasn’t done much. Omicron kinda blew this out of the water.

Cameroon did have a spike about 3 months ago, but it wasn't as big as previous spike there, and died out in about a month. Which doesn't make it nothing, but it would suggest it's not as significant as Omicron.
