New COVID Variant Identified

You’ve heard of the COVID Delta Variant and even the Lambda Variant that popped up in the Houston area. Baylor Infectious Disease expert Dr. Peter Hotez says we’re now seeing the “Mu” variant come to the country. Mu was officially called a “variant of interest” in this week’s World Health Organization report. They say the variant has the potential to evade immunity. That’s not good for Texas, where the hospitalizations are now past the peak we saw in January.
