Coronavirus is wreaking havoc in all around the world.The US, the worst-hit country, has 22,446,955 cases, and 378,085 have died from the disease there. While US is already battling corona, the White House coronavirus task force in its latest report said that the United States may have its own version of a more transmissible variant of Covid-19 that might enhance the already aggressive spread of the virus.
Reports sent by the task force to states dated to January 3 warned of the possibility of a 'USA variant' of Covid-19. According to the report of CNN, "This fall/winter surge has been at nearly twice the rate of rise of cases as the spring and summer surges. This acceleration suggests there may be a USA variant that has evolved here, in addition to the UK variant that is already spreading in our communities and maybe 50 per cent more transmissible.
The task force further suggested aggressive mitigation in response to a much more aggressive virus, which should include the use of face masks and immediate vaccination of as many people as possible. The global tally of coronavirus cases stands at 89,324,792. While 63,990,133 have recovered, 1,920,754 have died so far.
