u. s. over a 150000 in the u. k. so there's also concerns that new variance can emerge. and then i would throw into the equation, the issue that we still have most of the world not vaccinated. so even if we build up that immunity in europe, we need to quickly help the other countries. otherwise we could see new variance of concern emerge. and for 5 or 6 months, when our immunity starts to wayne again, well, the life is very and overtake previous parents. how do these things work? and it seems like that's the case though, we just heard that there are some western european countries where it dealt this still the predominant very. and some of those countries off to close their border quicker than in general. it seems that ali khan is taking over. we've seen that in the u. k. we've seen it in the u. s. denmark, spain. so i think um army con will become the predominant variant and lesser or until another variant comes along or that leads me beautifully to my next question is how long will cove it go on developing more new variance? it's hard to say, viruses seek to evade immu
