Anyway, things are improving here, lockdowns easing, talk of vaccine passports is causing a ripple. I had to carry a little yellow vaccination record when I was traveling overseas, can't see what the fuss is about. However, they should not be expecting workers serving the public (shops, bars and restaurants) to police whether someone is carrying a passport or not.

Variant B.1.1.7 originating in the UK has taken over here as the original strain numbers continue to dwindle. It is believed to be 1.5 x more contagious and 1.5 x higher mortality rate than the OG strain. And its taking down younger people.
I'm 56 and taking no chances. Won't be vaccinated for a while yet. Lost my father in the 2nd wave so I know how real this is.
Brazil and South African are different mutated variants. Brazil is a giant pool to create more and more mutations which is worrisome.
