I was going to say the same thing. I heard on the radio that more than half of the cases now are the more contagious variants that emerged more recently.
Cheeses help us if variants emerge that are not covered by the vaccine. If it become like the flu, where vaccinating comes down to predicting which variants will be dominant at any given time, then COVID is just going to be a fact of life from now on. How infectious a virus is can also increase how many mutations are out there. So while the new variants aren't necessarily more deadly, it's scary for other reasons.
