Ep34: COVID Variants - Should We Be Concerned? - a podcast by Anh, Cecilia & Valerie

B.1.1.7?! B.1.351? P.1? B.1.617? Pop quiz for you: are these names of extraterrestrial beings that are infiltrating the Earth, gobbledygook that a toddler would utter, or the scientific names of COVID variants of interest/concern?! If you said COVID variants, you are CORRECT! Listen to this episode to find out if we should be CONCERNed about the variants of concern that are taking over the news these days! In this week's episode, we discuss why the coronavirus mutates, learn about the origins of each of these variants (the ones that were first identified in the UK, South Africa, Brazil and India!), if the current vaccines will work against these variants, and what we can do to stop these variants from spreading. Also.. happy Mother's Day to all the maternal figures out there (fur moms included!) - thank you for doing a grape job raisin us! (hehehe) 

Music: "Curious" by Bonsai Mammal. Written by Andrew Southwell and Jimmy Harry.
