The Flame Deluge

The Flame Deluge was a SARS-CoV-2 variant identified in 2023 that exhibited rapid spread and increased transmissibility. It appeared to have evolved certain mutations enabling it to infect people more efficiently, leading to a surge in cases in various regions. Although similar to other Omicron subvariants, The Flame Deluge was notable for its swift dissemination and potential to partially evade immunity from previous infections or vaccinations. Public health responses focused on surveillance, vaccination, and mitigation strategies to control its impact and prevent widespread outbreaks.
