Researchers say more contagious COVID variants are on the horizon

Front-line workers who are trying to track COVID-19 variants are begging the U.S. to organize scattered sequencing data collected from coronavirus testing. Cynthia Koons, a senior reporter at Bloomberg News, joins CBSN AM to discuss how labs are working with the data.

Does this mean that our CDC did not do any sequencing???! Why would they abandon standard procedures? Pretty outrageous during a pandemic… So what are our tax dollars funding again??? This is a very revealing conversation…

Here comes another toilet paper shortage.

I can't believe people don't understand the mutation of the virus.Those people who joke about it will be the first to beg for a treatment

What happened to the cold and flu? I haven't seen a NyQuil commercial in months.

[AnthonyD-yyin]

My life has never been perfect but i do miss the old way of life, Covid-19 has and will change everything forever.

[souljourney]

There going to be more variants than season of the walking dead

[emmy]

this variant stuff sounds like a netflix series 😂

[lifeispoetry]

Someone is making loads of money from all this fear and scam.

[jdwfenton]

I'm waiting for the Kameltoe variant. I'm sure that'll be a good one.

[martyschrader]

Yeah. Not only is the US too expensive for medical treatment, it's also a hodgepodge of medical mechanisms, none of which have any impulse to work together nor share their results without being forced to do so. What a crock.

Scientists in 2000: Covid will mutate slower than the Flu virus
Scientists in 2021: Evolution isn't very predictable

*Is it strange that everything seems to spread covid-19 except for protests and illegal immigrants?*

[mwildthing]

The 98 percent survival rate is terrifying! Lol

[Jarhead-teid]

Of course new variants are coming we all knew this.

[robotron]

The Milgram Experiment showed that people will listen to authority, no matter how ridiculous or dangerous the commands are.

[pabstube]

Once we run out of letter to name the variants can we please start using food names. Like pepperoni variant or chimichurri variant.

Cartel level violence is the only was to stop this medical treason

[dlwpb]

The simple fact is at the start of this pandemic there were 7.8 billion people in the world. We are a year and a half in and there are still 7.8 billion people on the planet

[jonasabry]

More variants are on the horizon because they're the ones releasing them.

[AD-itzr]

Of course there’s big money in this. More rules more regulations more control = more 💩
