Sky news have run several stories over the past 12 months scaremongering about new Covid variants with similar headlines which have not proven to not be true. Sky often sensationalise stories for cheap clicks and most their headlines could do with greater context. https://news.sky.com/story/amp/what-is-known-about-the-xbb-1-5-covid-variant-and-whats-behind-the-nickname-kraken-12780473 https://news.sky.com/story/amp/arcturus-what-we-know-about-the-new-covid-variant-thats-dominating-in-india-12865141 https://news.sky.com/story/amp/covid-cases-infections-leap-to-six-month-high-after-christmas-as-one-in-20-test-positive-in-england-12781210 https://news.sky.com/story/amp/covid-cases-are-rising-again-do-we-need-to-worry-12720327 https://news.sky.com/story/amp/covid-19-new-report-predicts-how-many-daily-cases-there-will-be-by-february-12730396

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1687532556021858312
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
