Experts: British variant of the virus spread across the U.S. Diagnosis doubled in 10 days

The Communist Chinese virus (Wuhan pneumonia) pandemic. a more contagious variant of the strain first emerged in the United Kingdom in late 2020. According to a new study, this variant is spreading rapidly across the United States, with cases doubling every 10 days or so.

According to a new study, this variant of the Chinese Communist virus called “B117” could become the most prevalent strain in the United States next month. The results of the study were published Sunday (Feb. 7) on the preprint server MedRxiv and have not yet been peer-reviewed.

According to the study, a team of researchers led by scientists at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, determined that the new British variant arrived in the United States as early as November of last year (2020).

The study estimates that its transmission rate is 35 to 45 percent higher than other strains. By looking at the genome analysis of virus samples, they found that the frequency of its variants appeared doubled about every week and a half.

The report says, “These findings suggest that B.1.1.7 is likely to become the dominant variant in many U.S. states by March 2021, leading to a further surge in cases of COVID-19 (Chinese communist virus-induced disease) in the United States.”

In Florida, the researchers said, the new strain of infection is now estimated to account for about 4 percent of all cases. By comparison, the rate across the United States may be between 1 and 2 percent.

The researchers warned that “immediate” action is needed to prevent a surge in cases that would force a new embargo, as happened in the United Kingdom.

“Our study suggests that the United States is on a similar trajectory to other countries, with B.1.1.7 rapidly becoming the dominant variant of SARS-CoV-2 (CCP virus), and that immediate and decisive action is needed to minimize morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 (CCP virus-associated disease).” The authors write.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has detected at least 611 cases of infection with this strain in 33 states. However, its spread may be much more widespread, as there is no one standard practice for genetic sequencing.
