With the nation already dealing with a strong double mutant variant of the Covid-19 virus, reports now suggest that the southern states of the country could have been affected by a more lethal variant of the virus named N440K.  Also known as the AP variant referring to the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh where it was first detected, the strain is said to be at least 15 times more virulent than the previous strains.

As more and more states promote face masks as a way to control the spread of COVID-19 , the top-line message has been: wear a mask to protect others.

It’s likely that face masks, by blocking even some of the virus-carrying droplets you inhale, can reduce your risk of falling seriously ill from COVID-19, according to Monica Gandhi, MD, an infectious disease specialist at UC San Francisco. “The more virus you get into your body, the more sick you are likely to get,” she said.

A greater proportion of these new cases have been mild or asymptomatic, though more data is needed t...
