And yet Israel is getting $500,000,000 of our money. Also our military branches are getting billions of dollars as well!

I’d also like to mention a fellow classmate in my voice acting class I just took last month got covid recently. Really hoping he pulls through (and to think we just made connections as well...)

One of my cousins who lives in South Carolina got COVID recently, can’t say I’m not surprised though, she went to several family gatherings without a mask and her son’s school sent out notices of COVID exposure so it’s possible he got it, too.

They're talking about the strong possibility that the virus has begun mutating again in the UK, and even the probability that it have already done so in the US and we just don't know it. . . .

But, I believe it was MWoO who said it's impossible for the virus to mutate, and since he apparently knows everything and we never know what we're talking about, I guess this means it's all just fake news, and there's really nothing for us to worry about.

The only time I ever mentioned mutating was when you said it was mutating and shared a sourcethat never mentioned it. Of course viruses mutate, they all do, that doesn't mean this one has. So again, like the last time you made this claim, show your source.

There is a strain of the virus in the UK that is more transmissible than the original strategy n. All that is true.

BUT- Fauci says there is no reason for travel between the UK and the US to stop.

So, it’s okay for British people to bring a more contagious form of the virus into this country?
Is he out of his mind???!!!
Joesplain this to me. I’m lost.

Yes the virus has mutated to something more transmittable. All viruses do. The mutated virus is no more dangerous than the original virus though and the vaccines will work against the mutated virus as well. Perhaps in a few years it will mutate to the point that the current vaccines dont work but then we tweak the vaccine. Just like we do with the flu vaccine. The sky isn't falling Chicken Little

It is appalling so many died from COVID.But still tens of thousands also die from cancer, heart disease, diabetes, suicide, traffic deaths,
etc.It doesn’t make any other form of death less important.
In this country someone dies every seven seconds. But every four seconds someone is born.
