Скачать или смотреть COVID-19: Variants & Mutations w/ Dr. Angela Rasmussen

As COVID-19 variants emerge across the globe - particularly the more contagious B.1.1.7. - scientists are racing to understand how dangerous they might be while policymakers try to adjust health guidelines accordingly. Viruses are ever-changing by nature, and each mutated strain poses new and different challenges. What can epidemiology tell us about these new SARS-CoV-2 variants? And how can public health officials stay one step ahead?

Check out our recent discussion with Dr. Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at Georgetown University's Center for Global Health and Security specializing in viruses that are highly pathogenic and/or newly emergent. She discussed the evidence for higher variant transmissibility and what we know about the efficacy of existing vaccines against mutations, plus much more.
