А про мутацию, помимо того что медиа раздувают панику, вот что думают ученые:
> "There is currently no evidence that this strain causes more severe illness, although it is being detected in a wide geography, especially where there are increased cases being detected."
> there is "no evidence" to suggest that the new variant would be resistant to the Pfizer–BioNTech vaccine
> they had moderate confidence that VUI-202012/01 was substantially more transmissible than other variants, but that there were insufficient data to reach any conclusion on underlying mechanism of increased transmissibility
