       SUMMARY - Chinese and Swedish researchers have published results
       of their experiments concerning the recent BA.2.86 Covid variant
       (nicknamed "Pirola") and have found that it may not be able to
       out-compete EG.5.1 but that it is better at evading immunity.
       Although more studies are to be released about this variant, the
       early indicators are that this may not the next significant
       variant of Covid (such as Alpha, Delta & Omicron) despite the
       large number of differences with it's spike protein.
