WTF difference does it make what strain it is Mainly it would be tracing to be sure of the source, but variants have different reactions to the different vaccines and may require different management. I will keep on asking dumb questions until I get an intelligent answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 If we have a new variant here, can we call it the Footloose Variant? NB, its a joke not intended to scare the scarable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
