vivster said: I don't get it. What's different about these new strains compared to the hundreds that have been found before? Sounds more like the media jumping on their new favorite word "strain", because it makes people fear and fear makes them money. |
The difference is how much more infectious these new strains are (The UK one and South Africa), although the Brazil one could just be another harmless mutation. What is more worrying is that despite all the travel restrictions and precautions, these new strains have no trouble at all spreading out over the world.
People could use a little bit more fear, reason isn't working.
