Arizona has opened restaurants, gyms and movie theaters to full capacity. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention linked restaurants with on-site dining to an increase in virus infections six wMILAN -- The virus swept through a nursery school and an adjacent elementary school in the Milan suburb of Bollate with amazing speed. In a matter of just days, 45 children and 14 staff members had tested positive.

“The spread of the variants is driving the increase, but not only,’’ said Dr. Hans Kluge, WHO regional director for Europe, citing “also the opening of society, when it is not done in a safe and a controlled manner.” After putting two provinces and some 50 towns on a modified lockdown, Lombardy's regional governor announced tightened restrictions Friday and closed classrooms for all ages. Cases in Milan schools alone surged 33% in a week, the provincial health system's chief said.

In Britain, the emergence of the more transmissible strain sent cases soaring in December and triggered a national lockdown in January. Cases have since plummeted, from about 60,000 a day in early January to about 7,000 a day now.

Europe played politics with the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine suggesting it wasn’t fit for the majority of over 60’s only to now to stop with the antics. The UK has vaccinated 22 mil people, the whole of the EU is barely at 30 million across 27 countries. Shame on the EU!!!

So now is the perfect time to relax the restrictions and open everything up, right? Not!

Don't they wear mask there? What happens when that mask stops being effective?

The so-called variants are manifested by the fol, so-called Corona restrictions which only promotes mutations and susceptibility to other diseases, while making Corona, a medicine resistant ailment!

Things that make me wonder: So why are people using “South Africa,” “UK, ” and “Brazil” to refer to strains -or variants- yet one mustn’t say “China” or”Wuhan” when referring to the virus?

Its strange that the variant began making its rounds right after the vaccination roll out... so weird...

1M new cases, with a 9% week-over-week increase sounds quite concerning. The British variant has been around for a few months already. What is driving the spike *now*? It would have been great if the article shed light on that, rather than leaving it hanging.

this is very worrying ... what about the effectiveness of vaccines? may depend on the speed of immunization.

C'mon America we have a shot at redemption. We were abused the last time, but let's show that when we try we can't be beat. Mask up, let's show this virus what America really is.
