Mutated Coronavirus May Have Already Arrived In US, Experts Worry | TODAY

I asked a doctor when they think this virus will end. She told me how would I know, I'm a doctor not a politician.

How can they say the vaccine can protect against this new mutation when they have minimal information about the mutation to begin with 😂

[powerofloveism]

My Grandpa said during the first wave that the Virus travels on bodies, bodies fly on planes to different countries spread the Virus and get on another plane then fly to another location spreading the Virus. Grandpa said it would have never gotten out of Control in the first place if the proper measures were taken by those in a position to stop flights. Many have died and will die for what? selfishness, idiocy and Greed.

Ok that’s it I’m binge watching The Walking Dead, so I will be prepared and survive.

It's people's own selfish decisions, we know better and can't blame our government for everything. No one is forcing people to travel, go the gym, or do other unnecessary things. Most Americans are self-centered and care only about their wants, and are ignoring what they should be doing.

The US and UK are in partnership - of course they have it.

[damikey]

I just wait for the day to return where I can walk up to someone and talk without masks and shake their hand and not hear the word covid.

[MBrusaZappellini]

Feeling kind of crappy, so I’m coming to the comments section to consult with the experts...

[SmileyD]

Gee shutting down all flights until this crap gets under control is too much of a common sense and logical thing to do so they won't 😡

[OpenBlank]

Anyone is more than welcome to Criticize this comment and mock but I hear that the United States of America may Surpass 100 Million coronavirus deaths and cases.

[notsurtr]

The new mutation is probably from the vaccine

Cuomo needs to be part of comedy centrals roast squad with Jeff Ross

[merriemelodiesfan]

I'm not surprised because the fact people continue to allay these concerns and keep putting politics into it is just going to make matters get steadily worse than they already have.

[sammywestenberger]

Please Lord Protect us From Coronavirus

[natashasingh]

What will happen to mankind now.? This new mutation is so disturbing.

[ddavid]

Nowadays, if a person has a cough or flu due to a cold weather, all the experts say that it has corona symptoms. corona has gone into humans brain which cannot go away for a long period. politician around the world has promoted this event so much that they has some national and personal interests in it.
No need to worry too much, everything will be fine when their goals are achieved.

[blahblah-fvvd]

Honestly, just shut down global and domestic travel for at least a few months... 😞🤦🤦

[babarjoe]

Americans are dying in thousands daily so devastating something needs to be done really fast perhaps a miracle

[ChinaSongsCollection]

All I want to know is will the vaccines work against the new strains. I don't think the new UK and South Africa strains will be avoidable. The only question left is will the vaccines work?

[justsaying]

I literally just read about this in other countries. We need to realize mutations are random and can happen at any time. If you quarantine, wear masks, limit social gatherings and practice social distancing then it stops with the infected person.
