“The arrival of the variant shows that “the fight against this deadly virus is far from over,” Dr. Brannon Traxler, South Carolina’s interim public health director, said in a statement. “While more COVID-19 vaccines are on the way, supplies are still limited. Every one of us must recommit to the fight by recognizing that we are all on the front lines now. We are all in this together.”

The Covid -19 variations that are now commonplace throughout the nation are complicating our national response to combat the virus. Without a strong national response we had little chance of eventually eradicating the Coronavirus that was supposed to ‘go away’ many months ago but decided to stick around. The federal government now has an administration in place that is taking the pandemic seriously and using a broad range of tools to finally take control of the pandemic.
Scientists across the globe hope the virus does not mutate enough to be rendered immune from the recently developed vaccines. We all hope that the vaccines remain effective otherwise Covid will be with us for years and years to come.
