Surgeon general pick: New UK COVID-19 strain does not appear to be deadlier

By Thomas A. Smith

The new, more contagious strain of COVID-19 that emerged in the United Kingdom doesn t appear to be any deadlier, Surgeon General nominee Dr. Vivek Murthy said Sunday.

This news from the UK appears to be about a new strain of the virus that s more transmissible, more contagious than the virus we ve seen prior to this,  Murthy said on NBC News Meet the Press.

While it seems to be more transmissible, we do not have evidence yet that this is a more deadly virus to an individual who acquires it.
