Around the world too. Unless other countries closed off travel from the US, the US is very likely responsible for aiding and abetting the spread.In Africa and India?
Nah man.
You said not following proper procedures is why new strains appeared in india and africa. We didnt follow proper procedures either.Which new strains have come from the United States?
Exactly!!!! So far, we have no idea if the current vaccines will do anything to curtail this new variant - or even if they will lessen the impact on a vaccinated individual who gets it.What good will mandating vaccination do if the vaccines are ineffective against the new variant?
Yes, well. what can we do. Some in government have proposed encouraging people to follow the rules sometime next year, but they don't seem to be very invested in it.You said not following proper procedures is why new strains appeared in india and africa. We didnt follow proper procedures either.
Ohio researchers say they've identified two new Covid strains likely originating in the U.S.
Jason McDonald, a spokesman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a statement to CNBC the agency is looking at the new research.www.google.com
You turned out to be more correct than you realized.
Make vaccinations mandatory, start putting some teeth behind those encouragements.Yes, well. what can we do. Some in government have proposed encouraging people to follow the rules sometime next year, but they don't seem to be very invested in it.
The initial reporting I've seen on this new variant is that it's more contagious than the delta and the current vaccines might be ineffective against it. This was what I expected to happen. If there are countries which don't have the same status we do then it only makes sense to ban all travel from foreign countries. That would include shutting down our southern border.Exactly!!!! So far, we have no idea if the current vaccines will do anything to curtail this new variant - or even if they will lessen the impact on a vaccinated individual who get it.
This is what happens when you let a virus run wild.
From last year? Wow. Nothingburger. Look at Delta.Ohio researchers say they've identified two new Covid strains likely originating in the U.S.

Two new strains originating in the US after all.
Are those goalposts heavy when you move them?From last year? Wow. Nothingburger. Look at Delta.
That would be nice.Make vaccinations mandatory, start putting some teeth behind those encouragements.
Its going to take some arm twisting.That would be nice.
But no one in government has proposed that, sadly.
I am not anti-vaccine. I am definitely anti-mask as all science shows they do nothing to stop the spread. Let's hope this new variant isn't one that has mutated beyond the effect of the vaccine and boosters. Too soon to tell.They most certainly are getting and spreading it too. Early coverage is that the new variant is the most vaccine resistant yet. We'll have to learn if the vaccine provides any protection whatsoever from the new variant. Hopefully, it will still help prevent serious illness and death - but it seems to be too early to even know that.
So American versions are less deadly and spread less?Are those goalposts heavy when you move them?
Whose going to twist Biden's arm? Doesn't seem to be happening, sadly.Its going to take some arm twisting.
You asked, i answered then you moved goalposts.So American versions are less deadly and spread less?
You got me, I'll take those!
Activists like yours truly but not me alone by any meansWhose going to twist Biden's arm? Doesn't seem to be happening, sadly.
The new variant, it is being speculated, can evade immunity and can infect those who are vaccinated, bringing the focus back on booster doses While this is a subject under investigation, testing and tracking are the only ways to eliminate the variant, it has been underlined.

I agree. I think big action regarding all country to country travel should be taken today, by countries all over this world. We just don't know what we are facing yet and whether we even have any protection at all available, currently.The initial reporting I've seen on this new variant is that it's more contagious than the delta and the current vaccines might be ineffective against it. This was what I expected to happen. If there are countries which don't have the same status we do then it only makes sense to ban all travel from foreign countries.

Only stupid Americans.This is what happens when Americans believe Trump.
If the old adage that "It's better to be safe than sorry." was applied I think we all (in the US) would be better off. International travel from a foreign country is not right. It's a privilege. Putting America first demands quick action and imo something like shutting down our borders is the overkill we might need to beat this.I agree. I think big action regarding all country to country travel should be taken today, by countries all over this world. We just don't know what we are facing yet and whether we even have any protection at all available, currently.
If countries react immediately by closing nearly every border and we find out that's overkill, we can change course easily.
In case you and Checkerboard Strangler live in a cave, I hate to tell ya, but Trump has been out of office for a year, and the dementia-ridden idiot that the left thought was their savior is now asleep at the switch.Only stupid Americans.
I was being sarcastic.What good will mandating vaccination do if the vaccines are ineffective against the new variant?
I know! I wasn’t talking about the end of the pandemic.Bullshit. It's far from over.
