"That Hurricane is Coming": Expert Warns U.S. to Brace for Virulent COVID Strain
@COVID19Up: A leading infectious disease expert predicted on Sunday that the deadlier British variant of COVID-19 will become the dominant strain of the virus in the US and could hit the country like a hurricane.
Epidemiologist Michael Osterholm, who served on Joe Biden’s transition coronavirus advisory board after the Democratic victory in the 2020 election, and is director of the center for infectious disease research and policy at the University of Minnesota, warned America to brace for the spread of the virulent strain this spring.
“The surge that is likely to occur with this new variant from England is going to happen in the next six to 14 weeks," Osterholm told NBC on Sunday.
“That hurricane is coming,” Osterholm warned NBC. SOURCE
