LONDON - A highly transmissible COVID-19 variant that emerged in Brazil and has now been found in at least 20 countries can re-infect people who previously recovered from the disease, scientists said on Tuesday. In a study of the mutant virus's emergence and its spread in the Amazon jungle city of Manaus, the scientists said the variant - known as P.1 - has a "unique constellation of mutations" and had very rapidly become the dominant variant circulating there. Out of 100 people in Manaus who had previously recovered from infection with the coronavirus, "somewhere between 25 and 61 of them are susceptible to

COVID safety protocols may have slowed but never stopped infections across the globe. Meanwhile, what happened to the "flu"???
Either seasonal influenza is being assigned "COVID" diagnosis or COVID protocols have made stunning inroads against flu transmission.
Perhaps another possibility that includes both scenarios: COVID was/is a bio-weapon research product. And whether released accidently or purposely, its unique behavior is the signature and fruits of "gain of function" research in bio-weapon labs.

Democrats: Now let's throw the borders open wide (no tests or masks required), and encourage travel from every country under the sun. If we import enough 'Rona, we can scare the hell out of everyone and win again by cheating in 2022 and 2024!

As with "Global Warming", Covid fears will be an ongoing "threat" which liberals will use to wield power and control. Notice that new threats are invented almost daily (systemic racism, white supremacy etc, etc).

That does it, I'll be hiding under my bed another year. Please have some of the little people from the unwashed masses class slip me a bite to eat and some beer while I cower.

How timely, and convenient. If such a strain exists, it wasn’t just found in some jungle community. It was released.

The Joint Committee on Perpetual Hysteria hath spoken, proles. You will do as we say. As Country Joe used to sing: "Ain't no need to wonder why. Whoopie! we're all gonna die." What we're going through is a $5 trillion gaslighting tour de force. 110,000 restaurants nationwide have permanently closed. For nothing. The price these officious bureaucrats and their Big Tech and Big Media enablers pay for destroying our economy and enabling the stealing of a presidential election (plus the theft of three Senate races: two in Georgia and one in Michigan) ought to be huge. I hate being lied to.

"no concluding evidence really to suggest at this point that the current vaccines won't work against P.1,"
Fire the Reuter editor for permitting a dishonest, click-bait headline.
Oh -- on second thoughts isn't that what he is paid to do?

That story is so full of coulda, shoulda, woulda it isn't worth wasting time to read. Reminds me of the stories about global cooling, global warming, global climate change. The same gloom and doom story line.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Holy cow there's a virus loose! Cover yourself with hand sanitizer and wear three masks for protection! Don't leave home without notifying next of kin and for the sake of the children don't breathe! Oh God! Cats and dogs living together - it's the end of the world! Real Old Testament stuff! Aiiiieeee.........

YAHOO! is one of the leading COVIDS propaganda machines, and Reuters a supplier. Accepting the "truth" of this...why are our southern borders thrown open? Where are the state public health officials? Why are they not raising hell over any/all "refugees" crossing into the USA? My gosh, we're talking about COVIDS and saving lives and all that very serious stuff. Hang this around Joe's neck...

But we've yet to hear from the Xiden administration's top scientist, the amazing dr. Fauchi, who we all know, has never been wrong.

Might even be true. These days, I doubt all news on the Wuhan bioweapon.

Wuhan Virus Factory lab is producing new variants every week. This could be the new normal.
