I don't know. Yes, it has the largest amounts of variations, but that itself means nothing. Makes it more unknown, and for now that is all that can be seen?

@thewindupbirdchronicles It was detected today and is more contagious. Hopefully not deadly.

@Carazaa It was reported today. And last I read, 22 cases in a country with a vaccination rate of 24%. Perspective matters.

@thewindupbirdchronicles This has nothing to do with any perspective I am just reporting a fact that UK and some other countries are closing their borders before they know more about this variant.

@Carazaa Yes, perspective matters and if you don't see that I don't know what to tell you. Politics are not a good measure of impact of an illness
