CDC: New Coronavirus Variant Could Become Dominant, Lead To More Covid-19, Deaths

How bad will B.1.1.7 be?

Well, a new publication in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) indicates that this new variant of the Covid-19 coronavirus, first detected in the United Kingdom (U.K.), won’t be still and won’t be silent, to borrow a phrase from the movie She’s All That. In fact, it may soon be “all that,” the dominant circulating strain in the U.S. And that won’t be good or be best.
