SOSHANGUVE, South Africa—Dressed in white protective suits, face masks and plastic goggles, the undertakers pulled up to the one-story home, in which the body of a man in his 80s lay in bed, still in his pajamas.
What they suspected, but hadn’t confirmed, is that the man died of Covid-19, ripped from his family as a new,is surging across South Africa and driving daily infections and deaths to record highs. “Two days ago this person was coughing,” said Christina Broodie, the funeral parlor’s owner, clutching two iPhones that were constantly buzzing with calls from the bereaved. “Now they’re dead.”
A brutal second wave of Covid-19 infections is pounding South Africa, powered in part by a new variant that scientists here say is much more transmissible than previous versions of the virus. The new strain is now by far the most common virus found in positive test samples in the country. In laboratory experiments, the new variant also managed to escape antibodies generated during a previous bout of Covid-19. Those findings, which still need to be confirmed by additional research, have heightened concerns that the new strain could infect people a second time and
CheetahPlains This is bullshit you refuse to call I the China virus but since it a country in Africa you now calling it a South African ... Racist and undermining

Moderna Launches Trial For Covid-19 Vaccine Booster To Tackle South African StrainModerna's vaccine works well against the more transmissible U.K. strain but the neutralizing antibody response was found to be lower against the newly discovered South African variant. So it is a significant reduction in efficacy. 'A six-fold reduction in neutralizing titers was observed with the B.1.351 variant relative to prior variants. Despite this reduction, neutralizing titer levels with B.1.351 remain above levels that are expected to be protective.' Another untested medical device Amazing just like the flu this virus mutates. So now we have to take a vaccine that will guess what strain is running around. There will be more strains in the future. Apparently every other sickness has disappeared from the face of the earth and only covid exists

O you really care, they needed a stronger strain to scare people into getting a shot that was developed before the so called stronger strain was even around. More people control We are literally trapped in a game of Plague inc. Nonsense.

Trial Finds South African Coronavirus Strain Poses Reinfection RisksA clinical trial of Novavax’s Covid-19 vaccine in South Africa indicated that participants who didn’t receive the shot but who had an earlier Covid-19 infection didn’t appear protected against catching the disease again from a new strain of the coronavirus now circulating the country. Vaccine will take time. Meanwhile virus will continue mutating. Best defense is n95 masks & social distancing. All governments need to ramp up n95 production & design more comfortable, more effective, reusable masks & distribute to everyone. Don't waste another year. RUGODA Society will not return to its previous era in light of this epidemic. We must join hands to defeat this disease
