The US has identified its third case of the more contagious coronavirus variant found in South Africa – this time in a man from Maryland.

The man, from the Baltimore region, had not traveled outside the country, Gov. Larry Hogan said in a statement, which means it's "likely" he caught it in the community.

This is the third case of the variant found in the US: South Carolina state officials announced Thursday the first two confirmed cases of the variant in the country. Neither person had travelled outside the US, and the two cases were not connected, state health officials said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the variant, named B.1.351, can "spread more easily and quickly," but there is no evidence it is more deadly. The variant has a mutation on its spike protein, which is what the coronavirus uses to invade human cells.

So how does that work? Did the virus float along the jet stream and drift on down to Baltimore? I don't get it.

ANYBODY CAN WEAR A MASK, BUT IT TAKES A MAN TO FACE COVID!!!!

Mr Biden acted too slow. He dithered. Too busy signing useless EO's when he should have treated this like a war.

The variant in the Baltimore man did not arise first in South Africa. It arose originally after six passages in Chinese lab mice. It arose first in SARS-CoV-2 in Chinese lab mice in China. Duh
