Related to your comment, the CDC has put out a warning that the new mutation has likely been in the US for some time.
They say it’s a problem because it “could cause more cases and hospitalizations”.
Seems like there’s a possible outcome missing from the warning, trying to think what it could be.
Obvious... travel traffic from Gt Brit and wherever has not been suspended that I have heard. This is all predictable and natural. We are going to have to learn to live with this virus and not starve to death or lose our house or apartment or car... to acquire herd immunity with minimum loss of life.
The govt does not have authority to keep people from dying of natural processes. Governors stating dictates about how people can live means that their orders are dictates and those issuing those dictates are dictators! Let the legislatures pass laws.
