That threat has been underlined by new lab tests showing that antibodies may be at least 10 times less effective against the new variant, which is separate to the mutation that was originally identified in England.

It's time to lockdown. This time for real. Stop all entry into the U.S. Prohibit inter-state travel. Enforce people to stay in their homes.

"There seems to be significant reduction of the neutralising ability (of antibodies)," he said.

"This is lab work, so how does that translate to patients?

"It doesn't necessarily mean the lab finding will mean infections in those who have been vaccinated.

"We need ongoing studies in countries where we have rolled out vaccination programmes to see if there are breakthrough infections."

Cases in South Africa have surged past 1.1 million, with 90% now due to the new variant.

Research suggests it is 70% more transmissible than previous versions of the virus, but it doesn't appear to cause more serious disease.

Further research is now being carried out to gauge its impact on vaccine effectiveness.
Unfortunate

A mutation called E484K, which is found in the variant from South Africa and another in Brazil, was strongly associated with reduced antibody effectiveness in some, but not all, of the 11 samples tested.
Tests on the UK variant, which doesn't have the same mutation, showed there was no reduction in the ability of antibodies to kill the virus.

so i guess stay out of south africa.

It's almost like the people who don't want to give up any of their "freedoms" are constantly dooming us to never get through this. Who would of guessed? Who would of guessed that not taking a worldwide pandemic serious would make it way worse and harder to overcome.

So what you're saying is we have to convince anti mask covid deniers to get a vaccine AND continue to wear masks and social distance for a while after?

The South African one? I thought the UK variant was the confirmed one.

Either way, doubtful it would ever stay out anyway.

Vaccines against the flu keep you from getting seriously sick against other strains they're not specifically for. That's likely the case here too, where most people who have the vaccine will probably be no sicker than a normal cold if they catch corona.

Stop being so alarmist.

Stop being so alarmist.

People were saying to stop being alarmists and fear mongers a year ago because it wasn't going to be that bad.

We're now at 300k+ deaths and nothing has stopped it from spreading still because people kept saying "stop it guys, you're being an alarmist!!!" And denying it's real.

I can't believe you're still complaining about this. We know. Everybody knows. Still gonna say it every ten minutes? Chill.
