Virus Variants Threaten to Draw Out the Pandemic, Scientists Say<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

Declining infection rates overall masked a rise in more contagious forms of the coronavirus. Vaccines will stop the spread, if Americans postpone celebration just a bit longer.<\/p>\n

For weeks, the mood in much of the United States has been buoyant. Cases, hospitalizations and deaths from the coronavirus have fallen steeply from their highs, and millions of people are being newly vaccinated every day. Restaurants, shops and schools have reopened. Some states, like Texas and Florida, have abandoned precautions altogether.<\/p>\n

In measurable ways, Americans are winning the war against the coronavirus. Powerful vaccines and an accelerating rollout all but guarantee an eventual return to normalcy \u2014 to backyard barbecues, summer camps and sleepovers.<\/p>\n

But it is increasingly clear that the next few months will be painful. So-called variants are spreading, carrying mutations that make the coronavirus both more contagious and in some cases more deadly.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Even as vaccines were authorized late last year, illuminating a path to the pandemic\u2019s end, variants were trouncing Britain, South Africa and Brazil. New variants have continued to pop up \u2014 in California<\/a> one week, in New York<\/a> and Oregon<\/a> the next. As they take root, these new versions of the coronavirus threaten to postpone an end to the pandemic.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
