UK variant (B.1.1.7) The U.K. variant was one of the first identified "variants of concern." It's estimated to have first emerged in September, and it quickly gained a foothold, spreading like wildfire throughout the U.K. and then other parts of the world. At least 293 cases have been reported in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which said the actual tally probably exceeds that. There's good evidence this variant is more transmissible, spreading more easily and more quickly. This increased transmissibility is believed to be due to mutations in the spike p...

Biden claims “there is nothing we can do” to halt mass death from coronavirus In the three days that included Trump’s last day in office, the inauguration, and Biden’s first full day as the 46th president of the United States, over 11,000 Americans perished from complications of their COVID-19 infection. The seat of power has changed hands, but the suffering remains the same.

23 Jan 2021 / 04:39 H. By Nancy Lapid Jan 22 (Reuters) - The following is a roundup of some of the latest scientific studies on the novel coronavirus and efforts to find treatments and vaccines for COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus. Virus variant found in California drives SoCal surge A new variant of the coronavirus appears to account for the recent surge of cases in southern California, researchers say. The variant, called CAL.20C, accounted for fewer than one in every 1,000 COVID-19 cases in Los Angeles county in July. It was not detected again until October, but by December accou...

New COVID-19 variant found in more than one-third of Cedars-Sinai patients, new study shows The Cedars-Sinai findings did not indicate whether the strain is more deadly than current forms of the coronavirus. City News Service Share: LOS ANGELES (CNS) -- A new strain of the coronavirus has been found in more than one-third of COVID-19 cases among Cedars-Sinai patients and may be contributing to the acceleration of the recent surge of cases across Southern California, according to a study released this week. The strain, which the investigators designated as CAL.20C, is believed to be in part re...

Washington: In late December, scientists in California began searching coronavirus samples for a fast-spreading new variant that had just been identified in Britain. They found it, though in relatively few samples. But in the process, the scientists made another unwelcome discovery: California had produced a variant of its own. That mutant, which belongs to a lineage known as CAL.20C, seemed to have popped up in July but lay low till November. Then it began to quickly spread. CAL.20C accounted for more than half of the virus genome samples collected in Los Angeles laboratories on Jan. 13, acc...
