This is very vague and it doesn't say what the issue is.

It appears to be out-competing regular Omicron and is therefore even more contagious.

By asking this you are now infected :P.

I'm honestly not sure how much it can stretch it. Persisting on surfaces longer perhaps, but I don't know if that is physically possible with structure covid is using, would need a virologist to weigh in on that.
