Q&A: Dr. Daniel Lucey ’77 on the dangers of new COVID-19 variants | The Dartmouth

We should also be concerned because some of these new variants can reinfect people who are already infected and have recovered. That is very, very bad news because for individual patients, they may become more ill and/or die with a reinfection from a variant.
As of Wednesday, the U.K. variant is in 33 U.S. states, so it’s more than half the states where this variant from the U.K. has been found.
