A new COVID-19 variant ‘Mu’ has been detected in Ontario. Just how worried should we be about reports it could be vaccine resistant?: https://outline.com/v8C8cJ
I kind of wish the media would stop with this stuff, though I understand it's their obligation. Every virus is going to mutate, but each trending story on social media about about a variant, mixed with ignorant pundit questions like "Should we be worried? Does it make the vaccine redundant? Do we need to make any changes?" just throws people into a panic. One step forward, two steps back...
Yeah.
At the moment, at least, Delta is far better than any other variant at doing what it is that is a virus's ultimate goal: to make more viruses. And that ensures that it will be dominant until and unless a variant emerges that can reproduce even more prolifically.
