I was curious where the notion arose that are two different strains of Covid-19. I found this interesting article on WedMd, obviously not the most prestigious site around, but still . . .https://www.webmd.com/lung/coronavirus-strains#1
On the second page, under the heading 'Second Coronavirus STRAIN' (sic, my emphasis), you will notice a discussion of two separate STRAINS, a word I am emphasizing because BC indicates it was a term of art. One is demoninated 'L', the other 'S', why I don't know, except that it is almost certainly not a homage to 'Laverne and Shirley'. (RIP Penny Marshall.) They have different characteristics and one MAY be more transmissable than the other.
I won't write more, as I have nothing worthwhile to add. But I would hope for comment from those that do.
I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.
