Most people that catch the variants recover. Variants are normal progression. I don't think they are as bad as we have been lead to believe.

Agree to the point that variants can progress to where they are more deadly ... that may not happen



Problem is the ones we have are more contagious and thus tend to predominate in time = more cases = harder to dig out of Covidville and all the negatives that come with it

"a situation that ultimately borders on a cult" ^^^





Just saw variant rise per day here - These variants will affect the country  greatly & fast .. effectively competing with vaccines and other means to get back to some state of normalcy



# of cases rise very fast because they are more highly transmissible



Active Variant Cases Increasing for BC Alone - March 5 = 12  >>  March 8 = 87 >> March 9 = 113

The vaccines are effective for the variants.
