A UK coronavirus variant that's more contagious and associated with a higher risk of death is now the dominant strain in the US, CDC says

"Based on our most recent estimates from CDC surveillance, the B.1.1.7 variant is now the most common lineage circulating in the United States," Walensky said at the White House COVID-19 Response Team briefing. Coronavirus pandemic: Live updatesStudies have suggested that the UK variant is more contagious than the original strain, is possibly more dangerous and associated with a higher risk of death.

There are currently 16,275 confirmed cases of the B.1.1.7 variant in the United States, according to the CDC.Read MoreThe country's daily rate of new cases rose over most of the last four weeks. Part of that is due to the spread of B.1.1.7 and other concerning variants, Walensky said this week.Last month, evidence was mounting that the variant was possibly already dominant across the US.

Trum wouldn’t call it anything. He would ignore and deny it like he did with the original Covid 19

She tried to warn us, but no one is listening, guess we are just tired of the isolation and masks.

Why not starting treatment early. No risks in using this protocol adjusted to every patient’s condition. All those meds are used for decades for similar symptoms. I did see only benefits. No hospitalization if started early at home. 💯 patients satisfaction. Their lives matter

Here come the scare tactics. Take their untested vaccines ppl. Pfizer and Moderna need that for their investors. Let's go........

I don’t believe a word CDC says this hour because it could change with the WIND DIRECTION

A member of the natiom of Islam killed those people in Colorado. I know it doesn't fit CNN white genocide (literally allowed on Twitter) but it's true. Also the man who killed the massage therapist was sexualy motivated, not race. CNN are extremely racist. Most racist thing on TV

SCAMMERS!

_ Why is China not impacted as the rest of the world?

Sounds like scare tactics to get more ppl to buy into the vaccine

Of course. You liberals keep up the fear mongering because you are afraid you’re losing control of the people.

How many times can we recycle this crisis?!

Garbage fear mongering.

GovHowardDean Canada as well, we’re SO close w/ better weather & vaccinations happening (slower for us, don’t manufacturing ourselves) It’s people who REFUSE to take responsibility for themselves, just want fun. No integrity whatsoever. Thinking only of self 😤Happens EVERY pandemic 🙄😷🥴

How about answering the obvious, important question: is it contained by the vaccines?

And yet deaths per day, and seven day average continue to plummet. You guys really are Clickbait hacks. Please, continue to report this way and lose credibility.

The ImpendingDoom has arrived.

Totally think we are just going to keep going with this same narrative time and time again right ....

COVID19

As far as I'm concerned this means the vaccine that is currently bring used means squat. It will Not protect against the new strains.

👌🏼

B.S

Oh whatever

So if Trump were still president would he have then started to calling it the ‘UK virus’?

To the US government:we're a group of iraqi interpreters co-workers related to this fact We've been subject to ethnic,religious,cultural killing,kidnapping,torturing despise and humelation our cases are already suspended for years please help us have a highest priority in SIV

A passive aggressive way to get more folks fascinated. 🤷🏽‍♀️

So we can’t call it the China virus but it’s ok to call it the UK virus.

This CDC Director shows she knows nothing of the virus. A Pr woman. April Ryan knows more of virus & that is Zero. Both losers

Of coarse the CDC would say this, they have huge financial interests in vaccine. It's generating income for them, it's certainly not an example of humanitarian charity or aid.

It was predicted in February

mkraju And the great tradition of tailgating in Milwaukee is now open again !!!! 🙄

We can’t wait for the day we drag you out of CNN, MSNBC, ABC headquarters to dispense justice for all the lies, hate and death you have inflicted on the world. Soon, very soon...

Yet cases continues to drop. That must be the anti covid strain

“UK variant now dominate strain in US is still easily prevented by vaccination” should be the non fear driven headline

Cut the shit already

Double mutant variant with a splash of mocha

8th wave? Triple masks?

I dont understand why in the USA a developed beautiful country for the most part, there is such a horrendous hit from covid Im not one to follow conspiracy theories but its almost as if its designed to him some places worse than others! Its terrible!

Gotta keep the fear machine rolling until they've completely stripped us of our freedom.

So if this is worse why is the country opening. Maybe because we should have never shut down in the first place

No one cares

I think it’s time to ask almighty Allah to help the humanity to get off these viruses Vaccines and medication not enough to get red off these viruses

Stoking the hysteria.

Drink red rose with a touch of 1% and all will be smashing

Tossers

What science shows that it is deadlier.

Get the vaccine and stop worrying. It's covered.

Fear can’t stay any longer!

Hahahaha fuck off

FAKE NEWS

Where is Trump, put him back in charge

Vaccines still work on the uk variant so you’ll be fine

Yes, but all 3 US vaccines protect us against the UK strain. clickbait

Yet, hospitalizations and deaths continue to go down? Hmmmm

Sing me the old old song!

Soon the texas and florida strain Will be dominant, in states wher stable geniuses are in charge. 😥😥😥💯.

Good. We needed a new crisis.

The empire strikes back

vyra

FEAR IS YOUR ONLY GOD

Variant of the China virus Asking for a hypocrite.

Brazilian variant still to come.

The U.K. discovered it. Because we are brilliant and want to do our best for the world. Didn’t come from the U.K. though. So let’s call it the Variant Discovered by Brilliant U.K. Scientists should we !!! You’re welcome!!!

Ah can someone contact the Netherlands? We had the same similar lie a few weeks ago over here , we hear nothing anymore of it , like it disappeared 👻

mkraju At the age of 8, he was accidentally stoned in the eye by one of his classmates. This was very traumatizing for Mukit and his parents. He set them back not only academically but financially. Doctors concluded he would need a corrective surgery.

So where does this leave us vaccine wise?

bribriforthewin Anything to distract from the “Royal Family” 😂

Her face gives many people anxiety!
