  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/d3SnLyV8z9s   The CoVid strain B.1.1.7, isolated in the UK, besides spreading more readily person to person, appears to be about 65%% deadlier that the original Chinese virus.  This according to data just presented at the WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts meeting.   This conclusion stems from 3 case studies from the London School (35% higher), Imperial College London (36% higher, and the University of Exeter (91% higher). The case fatality rate for hospitalized patients was not significantly increased leading to the conclusion that the new strain increases the risk of a more severe case requiring hospitalization.   This strain is in the US.  Many cases are in California, Florida, and New York.   https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/955239/NERVTAG_paper_on_variant_of_concern__VOC__B.1.1.7.pdf   https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/transmission/variant-cases.html   #covid #b117 #britishstrain
