Just as Covid-19 numbers were dropping, a concerning strain detected in South Africa is now in the US.
Many are hopeful as the coronavirus numbers begin to decrease. However, this hope may be ill-timed as a new strain of COVID is found in the US. The new strain of coronavirus is even more contagious and is much more transmissible than other strains of the virus.
Health officials speculate that the high contagibility may stem from the ability to evade some immune protection of the antibodies.

Hopefully, as more vaccines roll out, the numbers will continue to lower even among the new strain.
