Examinerarticle outlined that an increase in this UK or British strain was far more contagious and far more likely to cause serious health complications.
Because its transmission rate is 50% to 100% greater than the original COVID-19, the B.1.1.7 mutation is already the dominant strand in Wisconsin. Previous evidence showed that, with the original strain, adults were most affected; children were far less likely to get sick from the virus and to transmit it. This new variant has changed all that.

They assume that I work with traditional post-secondary education students. I then have to clarify that Minnesota West, as well as seven other colleges in the state of Minnesota, offers individualized FBM instruction to farmers that are enrolled in the program.
