Variant fueling COVID-19 crisis in India raises concern in neighboring countries

Scientists believe a fast-moving COVID-19 mutation is fueling the crippling crisis in India. Neighboring countries are now bracing for the variant's potential spread. Abhijit Banerjee, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and co-winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics, joins CBSN's Lana Zak with his analysis.

So what about the religious festivals where millions mingled without masks and the political rallies without masks?.. it was not just about the shut downs.

its getting serious. the Indian scam caller who calls me a couple times a week hasn't called me in two weeks. I hope he's well :/

You know it’s bad when you stop getting scammer calls from went from getting at least 3 Microsoft, amazon, IRS calls a day to ZERO!

America needs to reconsider not wearing masks. Not enough information is provided in America about what is truly happening. We are one world.

[silverianjannvs]

Why does they interview Indian academics who don't live in India?

“Damn, we can’t get any health experts on the show. Well we got to get someone to talk”

Just a friendly reminder about the poke: the government also said Agent Orange, Cigarettes, Asbestos, lead and saccharine was perfectly safe. Carry on.

variant when the first one has never been: isolated, replicated purified or visualized. It's nothing.

he says the disease went away and he doesnt know why, oh idk maybe its because all the sick people were locked down at home, and then it came back when they got released and started partying.

just make sure to hear stuff from people in india. they have a very different take.

Wear Mask. I am surprised why Joe Biden is advising on not wearing mask for fully vaccinated people. I am in India and i am wearing two masks while going for shopping.

This explains why my car warranty isn't getting renewed, my social security isn't getting cancelled,
and my credit card interest isn't getting lowered.

CBS : Professor what do you think caused all this in India?

Professor : in my opinion I prefer Strawberry ice cream over Vanilla.

[Dubstime]

I’ll make sure to ask my bank teller for any future medical advice....

Thanks CBS 🤪

Already had Covid. Did it suck? Yes it was terrible, but I won't get that vaxx. The body is pretty incredible fighting it off on it's own for most people. Prayers to India!!
