Just read this in yahoo news. There is new variants of covid 19 : MU. This new one found on January 2021 and already spread to 40 countries. The picture i took here shows only USA parts on this new variants spread maps. Hope can get more picture for its spreading area on world map. Our government is now preparing as not expected to have 3rd wave. But it can happen as current vaccine seems not working well with this new variants. Oh lets pray together that we had all herd immunity that we are all waiting for. Amen...

@Vree0937 The Delta Variant is more widely known and apparently this new MU variant is another one that is newer and will have to be looked at more. Stay safe. Socially Distance, Wear a Mask in public indoor gatherings, and Vaccinate if you can at the recommendations of your doctor.

I think I know that already and we have 3rd shot vaccines for older people and frontliners. Still not an assurance that you will be safe from this new virus

That's what viruses do. They adapt and change, and eventually die out. Panicking about them does no good.

it is projected this Covid-19 virus will become Endemic. So booster shots as needed for the indefinite future.

Probably lamda is not widely spread, so that many countries did not worry about it. But this MU virus can surpasse current vaccine. So now scientist look for vaccine that can against this MU variants

@rakski I saw that lambda should come before Mu, so it might already available, but not spread out or die before spread, so that scientics directly to MU?
