Reading about the so-called South African strain, recently discovered in 2 unrelated people in South Carolina, neither of whom have traveled recently. Can a virus mutate in different regions of the world and develop an identical variant? Meaning the variant spreads geographically without being spread by people. If that makes sense.
Or does discovery mean it was spread via human travel? And that there is now community transmission of this much worse variant. ( oh great)
