One of the side effects of trump's willful cultivation of covid-19 is the proliferation of variants. Millions more victims, trillions more generations, hundreds of mutations.

ALL Viruses are known for their ability to quickly mutate, that's why nobody ever gets 1 common cold, for example.

I am interested to hear what the AstraZeneca crew has to say about this. I get my second (experimental) injection next week.

I just saw Laurie Garrett on MSNBC. Apparently there is now another mutant strain of COVID in South Africa, which is more virulent in young adults. :'(

I heard a virologist this morning on MSNBC say that it hasn't mutated enough yet for the vaccine not to work. It in 70% more contagious, but not more severe.

No vaccine will work on the new variant. The virus is getting smarter because Trump was dumber. The American way of life of six packs and a date on the week-end, charging to credit cards and partying and shopping up to eye-balls in bills, owning a home with a big mortgage after a heavy student debt and an European vacation are history.

All of Europe has banned travel to and from the UK.
