    Yes, it is in my country, with over 100 cases so far. The Government is carrying out "surge testing" in order to combat it. In any city or district where it has occurred, they open additional test centres and encourage everyone to get tested even if they have no reason to believe themselves to be infected. Let's hope they succeed in containing it.

    It's so scary Rev. This particular virus keeps mutating. Maybe all virus does but with this it has mutated to something that spreads more quickly and is more deadly and the original vaccines were geared for the origianl virus. By March it is said that will be the main strain in the US and I expect in other countries too. Thank you for your reply and Happy Saturday to thee and thine! :)
