“But we need to actually do these experiments and see:
can we demonstrate there's an advantage in those new strains
compared to other variants we've seen for SARS-CoV-2?
And there will be massive mental focus on this in laboratories across the world over the next few weeks.”

but Health Canada said there have been no recorded cases of the new strain here.

Dr. David Williams, Ontario's chief medical officer, said it's important to make sure the new strain
doesn't start to spread in this country, for instance by a traveller not respecting quarantine.
He also said the province's genomic sequencing of the virus is happening at “light speed.”

“We're keeping an eye on it, we're watching for it, and we're watching to make sure what's happening to the strains
that are circulating here,” he said.
“So it's that ongoing vigilance and laboratory surveillance that's critical as well
and it certainly would inform the citizens of Ontario if there was a risk.”

A slate of GOP lawmakers who downplayed different concerns about the coronavirus pandemic or ignored public health advice are now facing a wave of backlash for being among the first to receive a vaccine.
With only limited doses available across the US, members of Congress have been prioritized for inoculation in an effort to maintain governmental continuity on Capitol Hill. But some GOP lawmakers who have publicized their shots -- something public health experts have recommended to advertise the vaccine's safety -- are fielding fierce disapproval given their past comments downplaying or misrepresenting the virus earlier this year.
