Death rates shot up threefold in the U.K. The U.K.’s experience has been illuminating. We should not make the mistake we have before and become complacent because the the more contagious forms of the virus haven’t hit us (yet). One model suggests that a combination of the slow vaccine rollout, the decrease in social distancing seen, and the spread of much more contagious forms of the virus could result in 300,000 more deaths in the U.S. It’s amazing and terrifying how quickly it came to dominate (in South Africa), and it does feel like we’re in the beginning stages of watching this variant and other new ones, come to dominate around the world.Ĭoronavirus vaccinations per country over time A South African variant that appears to be 50% more contagious has already been found in 32 countries. The UK variant may be up to 70% more contagious. it’s not clear where the new forms of the virus are, but it is clear that when they show they up often rapidly come to be the most common form of the virus.
