Ample opportunity to mutate, and when you give it ample opportunity to mutate, you may sooner or later get another variant, and it is possible that that variant might be in some respects worse than the already very difficult variant were dealing with now, which is a major reason why you want to completely suppress the circulation of the virus in the community. >> doctor, what are we looking like for the next couple of months? >> lindsey, thank you for having me on today. dr. fauci is exactly rig...

Restrictions, most notably on physical distancing and limits to the size of social gatherings. it also means from the 9th of august no venues will be legally required to close. this change is significant and it is hard earned. the sacrifices everyone has made over the past year and a half can never be overstated. however, while this move will restore a substantial degree of normality, it is important to be clear that it does not signal the end of the pandemic, or a return to life exactly as we k...
