On the CDC website (taken w a grain of salt) they describe a UK, South Africa, and Nigeria variant. Nigerian being separate from South Africa.
And there was mention of US variant, but that was sort of “debunked” ... that’s too big of a can of worms, IMO, because (again, sorry, last I read) we have only “sequenced 51k of the 20mil cases” ... so how tf would we know?
