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.
Stay safe, and away from the crowds.. My wife and I have had the jabs and we are still maintaining the same regimes and will keep to the routines untill such a time when the risks have been completely dissolved..
