The highly contagious variant of the coronavirus first seen in the United Kingdom will become the dominant strain in the United States within about two months, its rapid spread heightening the urgency of getting people vaccinated, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted Friday in its most sobering warning yet about mutations in the virus. In every scenario explored by the CDC, the U.K. strain, which British researchers estimate is roughly 50 percent more transmissible than the more common coronavirus strain, will account for a majority of cases in the United States by some point in March.

Some skeptics believe this is why DC is locked down next week. The inauguration is seen (before and after the 6th) as an 'extinction level' super-spreader event.

I’m highly suspicious of this, but for two completely different reasons. Is it a matter of controlling the masses? Or is it a “gift” from China progressing as planned?

@2 Good! Maybe all the libs/dhims will catch it from each other and spread to each other. Doubt many conservatives will be there.

Oh good, this will be the first major crisis that we can blame on Biden, unless he screws up before March, which is highly likely.

This is a worthless article. Nothing but conjecture from the CDC, scary headline from WaPo. I don't believe anything anymore, the information has changed so often. Biden promised he'd fix all this. We just need to wear masks for his first 100 days. Yeah, that'll do it!

The CDC along with Fauci haven't been right about anything since last March. Why do we even bother to read anything that begins with CDC says or Fauci states. Go ask a six year old. Your just as likely to get a truthful answer from them as get anything worth listening to from government hacks.

And yet the photos of the NG soldiers lounging on the Capitol floor show no social distancing and very few masks worn.
