Coronavirus conversation, the Phantom Plague, Part two

We discuss the variant-sub strains of Covid, the UK, South Africa, the Brazil versions, and how they have played out. UK numbers have gone vastly down essentially to zero, with a vaccine, South Africa numbers have gone down substantially WITHOUT a vaccine, and Brazil's are still rather large, so the variant differences don't seem to cause that much difference overall. It seems that situations are manageable or not depending on other circumstances. Brazil got a late start with coronavirus net probably factors mostly into the higher numbers currently.
Here are some of the links covered tonight.
