It’s already in Chicago very likely according to a doctor I spoke with a few days ago, and has been for awhile.
It's in Harris County Texas. This will be bad.
They're barely looking for it here in the US, and when they've found it the case was from community spread. Not sure how "common" is intended here but I suspect we're well on our way there if not there already. So that really sucks...
They knew the new variant was spreading fast in September and covered it up. Schools went back.
But ... is this the variant at all ... or the effect of Christmas socialising and the December opening? A recent statistic was 25% of tested being the new variant, so most of the increases are from the classic strain, right?https://www.rte.ie/news/primetime/2021/0105/1187878-ireland-uk-new-covid-variant-b117/ …
Seems like both could be true. Testing is getting bogged down in a lot of places, we're just getting through some woky data due to reporting over the holidays, and the UK variant is being found in so many people who picked it up in their community.
We had over 4200 cases today in Ontario
With our LOCKDOWN. My stepson is an Emergency Doctor and he said the hospitalizations are not good. So it’s all over now.
Any insight on the South Africa strain that is reportedly even more virulent?
I saw this on another thread, referencing both South Africa and UK variants. https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-south-african-variant-of-sars-cov-2-as-mentioned-by-matt-hancock-at-the-downing-street-press-briefing/?fbclid=IwAR2Xfnyw0c9WHfwnyOf7XQnMeWaz34zrIQ_3d07de1JX9VviWyz9LjyFC8s …
