(6,619 posts)1. My question - it this variant as lethal?
I hear about hospitalizations but don't hear the outcomes. Was nice to hear from Fauci again.

However, I had a checkup at my doctor's last week and he said that there's going to be an updated vaccine available in September, not sure when it's going to be available in my neck-of-the-woods.

The newer variant is being watched closely at present

(255,532 posts)4. Thanks! My doctor mentioned that, just didn't name it.
And my state (New York) is one of the four mentioned where it has appeared, though I'm guessing it's likely downstate where Covid first appeared on the East Coast.
