As the Delta variant of COVID-19 continues its deadly sweep across the U.S., officials say that they are keeping a very close eye on a new variant that may be able to bypass existing coronavirus antibodies.Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said on Thursday tha chanclas yeezy t the U.S. is takin air max 1 g the variant, dubbed Mu, very seriously, but that it hasn t taken an extensive hold in this country.
