UK PM Boris had indicated that the B117 variant might be more deadly than the original virus and would lead to higher mortality.

The US President Biden had also indicated that the US couldn't control its pandemic in the next few months and the death toll would reach 600k.

The B117 variant has already entered the US and another variant has been found.  The new L452R variant may be vaccine-resistant and this will cause an exponential rise in infections in the US and result in a higher death toll that Biden had predicted.  The new L452R is very infectious as it has grown its presence from 3.8% to 25.2% in the US in less than 1 month.
