Or it could actually be objective truth. I read that England has detected 12 different strains of the virus. Not surprising. Viruses mutate, and I think RNA viruses mutate faster than most.
I don't read news from the angle of "is this designed to induce panic?"

I’ve got the most of 84 years behind me listening to the overt lies, lies by omission and the oops I didn’t mean that coming from the government bureaucracy so I don’t take a thing I hear from them at face value. Everyone in Washington has an agenda and we the people pay the price.
