Two new versions of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, the UK and South African variants, were announced in December. They've spread quickly in their countries of origin, and have begun popping up around the world. Join us to find out what makes them different and how scientists plan to combat them.

I know you probably got that blurb from the company's PR department and are just reading it off, but considering SciShow has an international audience, maybe you should say "the US's" instead of "the nation's". Because EnergySage doesn't work outside the US.

Comments on this channel have come a long way since the pat 5 years. It's like evolving but backwards.

Extremely well explained. Can the UK government hire you to provide the updates?

great video, perfect for sending to friends family for a simple explanation
This is the video i have been waiting for concerning covid. And i really appreciate your update devotion. Couldnt ask for a better and more informal video to watch at the end of my birthday. Thank you guys for having served information for this many years, and hopefully many more years to come as well
Hm. Yep, I had to go back and re-read the name of this channel. It is indeed SciShow, which I assumed was short for "Science Show". And yet, the number of people in the comments who think this is all some conspiracy (either for government control, pharmaceutical profit, or otherwise) is something like 10%. That's *so damn high* for comments on a channel that's meant to be about evidence-based understanding.
“People that spent half their lives being impassioned with science and went to school for degrees and dedicate their lives to bettering society?? Nah they government reptiles tryna microchip us.. their technology 100 years ahead bro.”
Smh at these people.. it’s depressing really
I feel it is the fact that people are disinfranchised with the government, how they operate , how legislation is passed by lobbying and how they've done nefarious things to other nations through deception corruption and incerection . This scepticism is passed onto science even though it is not nefarious itself it's the structure that it is associated it. "they've done it before why not now " mindset
@@Callcdm true. The gov has done a lot of sketchy things and it makes ppl wary of it. The interesting thing is, though, politicians don't even listen to scientists or other experts much if there's no direct corporate/profit benefit. So, a lot of the sketchy things going on in modern gov go against what experts say.
What's worse was reading the replies to your comment lol..
Flat earthers swarming here quick fast
Yep, I remember these exponential transmission discussions from March last year. Pretty scary
Can we do an episode on how effective lockdowns are now with all the new data from last year's lockdowns?
Lockdown has 0 effect compared to the mental damage. Respect and responsibility, now that has some good effect
@@ArythemB but the vast majority of people are idiots and can't follow basic rules. Hence the need for lock downs
Australian over here. Lockdowns work. Check out our community transmission rates. There was a small out break in Brisbane, where I live, just over a week ago. A lockdown for one weekend and social distancing for a two weeks. Like magic, no communitiy transmission!!
good Idea i want such a Video. whit the focus on the humans please
@@clarejohnston4729 oh, I wish I lived where people believed in science....
I am so glad that your messages about Covid19 are consistently calm and gently optimistic. You aren't giving any one false hope but you're also most definitely not fear mongering. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. I already have anxiety, and the last 12 months have been hellish at times. Headlines that shriek panic at me are no help at all. THIS video? Yes. Helpful.
Thank you.
As usual, you guys are great to turn indecipherable science jargon into something easy and clear to understand! This is especially important for the time being! Great job and thank you for your great work. Respect.
AWESOME!!!
Thankyou for educating!
Thanks for the info pals!
Here in the uk it’s been pretty scary watching the numbers explode since the new year. But the new lockdown is starting to work. New infections are dropping, so we know lockdowns still work. it’s just a shame our government waited over a week to bring it in as usual so things are way worse than they needed to be. Our health system is already over capacity in many places though and we’ve still got a week or so before we hit the peak of the spike in hospitalisations 😨
I hope other countries take it more seriously like the republic of Ireland has. Lockdown fast and hard, don’t give it a chance to get out of control
Nothing to take seriously about it. Same amount of people overall are dying. Deaths from heart disease and tuberculosis are just being relabeled as covid.
@@shr00mhead Only around 90k more people died in 2020 than an average year. Hospitals only around three times as full as the worst flu season since the 1970s. Nothing to worry about I'm sure 🙄
@@WhichDoctor1 No. 90,000 is not alot of people.
If lockdowns work, then why do you have more Covid deaths in the UK than in countries with less harsh lockdown rules? How come that Spain, France, Italy and the UK are worse off in Europe when they have the harshest lockdowns?
@@nattygsbord Because our government sucks. They always wait 1-2 weeks before doing anything. So the virus is already out of control before any measures are put in so it takes ages to get the infection down again. Also, they gave 10 billion pounds to a crony corporation to set up a track and trace system that has literally never been fit for purpose. So once the infection has finally been brought down by the prolonged lockdowns there's nothing to stop it flaring up again. They have also completely undermined the publics trust in them by very publicly backing a member of the government who spectacularly broke the rules. And I could go on, there is virtually no end to their cockups. We have had it really bad because we have a little wannabe populist in charge who couldn't organise a fart in a bean factory.
It's good @SciShow is trying to keep us informed.
Thanks for the information!
Gotta catch'em all!!
Peroiple should really listen to people who know the facts: epidemiologists and virologists. Not others who play politics.
Lol, those so called doctors are working for the deep state
@@aaronweiser5421 Proof?
@@aaronweiser5421 okay, even if they did, the advise they give still holds true. So wear your mask and keep your distance. I don't want to stay in lockdown because random people think they know better than someone who's studied these subjects for decades.
@@aaronweiser5421 you forgot your tinfoil hat
Yes, like Fauci who said not to wear masks 10 months ago
We will need to also keep an eye on the variants from Nigeria and Brazil, as well as the two new variants found in the US.
Thank you! There was nothing I didn't already know, but it was clearly and accessibly explained.

Thank you for this very informative video.
I would like to see you guys do a video on other viruses that have mutated as quickly as covid-19 virus.
A history of other viruses that have done similar things as the covid-19 pandemic?
Sars 2 panicdemic, not pandemic
@@ArythemB Panicdemic?
disease didn't exist until 2020! its trumps fault some how!
@@ArythemB I am a respiratory therapist and when our hospital was preparing for H1N1,the Swine Flu and other viruses that we were warned would cause massive amounts of infected people, we never had one case of any of these. There certainly is fear mongering. But this Covid is a different story
@@guillermoelnino everything is trumps fault. Even a lawyer can technically prove me right lol
Viruses mutate. They just do. Especially retroviruses like HIV or COVID-19. They use RNA polymerase to replicate instead of DNA polymerase. RNA polymerase has a *much* higher error rate and lacks the "proofreading" capabilities of DNA polymerase. At least that's what I learned in college (I have a Bachelor's in Biology).
SARS 2 Covid-19 is a bit different in that it does have proofreading capabilities so it has mutated "slower" than a typical RNA virus (however it still mutates quickly just slower than general mutations) it also isn't a retrovirus retroviruses undergo reverse transcription from RNA into DNA and embed themselves into the host genome more like DNA viruses making them effectively incurable.
A more worrying question is whether Covid does any of the viral recombination should two strains infect the same cell so far I don't believe there is any documented cases of that but it only needs to happen rarely to result in entirely new variants of a virus
@@Dragrath1 I know what a retrovirus is. I remember scientists and doctors saying early on and repeatedly that COVID-19 was one.
@@vic5015
Just want to clarify some misunderstanding for those reading through the comments: COVID-19 is the disease. SARS-COV-2 is the virus causing COVID-19. SARS-COV-2 is *NOT* a retrovirus at all. It is a single strand positive sense RNA virus within the coronaviridae family. It's in a completely different family of viruses and it's replication process is completely different than HIV.
SARS-COV-2 has good proofreading capabilities, actually. Scientists and physicians were not saying it was a retrovirus; the identification of the virus and its genomic sequencing was the first thing done. I have been monitoring the literature since February 2020.
(I'm a public health professional with my 1st graduate degree in public health from medical school, and now I've returned for my 2nd graduate degree in Biology focused in Biomedical science with my graduate research in the area of immunology of COVID-19).
Dragrath1 did a good job describing the replication process of actual retroviruses. SARS-COV-2 doesn't create the reverse transcriptase enzyme to do what retroviruses do.
i think you need to wasted a few years of education if you think call "COVID-19" (disease) a retrovirus.
@@kasa9884 good work

Excellent explanation.

Good.
You probably are, I don't think there's a law against it.
Though the typical 14-year-old can't afford them, and doesn't own a house to mount them on.
@@ps.2 parent’s house? If they agree (but they probably won’t)
@@coolpotato6759 I mean if you want to spend money on solar panels to put on a house you don't own, and whose electric bill you don't pay, I doubt there's a law against it. You will need permission from the homeowner to have them installed.
Actually in Ireland (where the UK variant is suddenly rampant in the last 2 weeks) doctors are now saying that along with more people being sick they appear to be much sicker than before. Which would suggest the UK variant might be more deadly.
Of course they think so, they thought Sars 2 was going take out the human rase, nothing new
@@ArythemB Nobody thought this was going to take out the human race. The earliest projections were 300,000- 500,000 deaths in the US when it’s all over, which we’re sadly on target to hit.
That’s half a million people - not a complete wipeout of the species, but still a staggering and terrible toll, and each death is felt very strongly by the people left behind.
Not to rub in terrible news but I would refer you to this videos update which shows a 35% increase in deaths, although it's still a bit early to be definitive, there's not really a question of whether or not it's worse. It is.
More people need to see this video.
Great video
Evolution is a thing, strains which replicate and transmit more frequently and thus push aside other strains.

Did you miss out on the bees and the birds story as a kid? A disease that kills adults who are well past their fertile years has few negative consequences. Some would argue that the disease helps the young by turning over wealth and assets trapped in the hands of the elderly, but that is a rather brutal and harsh way of looking at it, even if it is true.

Bring back SciShow Talk Show!!!
I was hoping you would explain the difference between the terms "strain" and "variant."
Isn't a less deadly virus a more contagious virus
Not necessarily. If a virus is very difficult to spread, it would still be very low in contagiousness even if it's a disease that you have for years, constantly replicating, but not killing you.
Usually.
It can be, for sure. If you kill all your hosts off quickly, you can't really spread much, so it's advantageous for a virus to be able to lay low in it's host to up the chances of it spreading to others. But you can also have viruses with chronic symptoms that have a high chance of killing you, but after a period of time that's still allowed it to spread quite a bit. But generally it is sort of a see-saw between lethality and rate of spread.

Well, it's bummer, but I'm glad I'm informed. Here's hoping we can overcome the health crisis within the next several months. I've been a good citizen through this: always wearing masks outside, staying distant from my friends and family, working from home, and often opting for curbside pickup for groceries and takeout. I haven't been seated in a restaurant since February 2020. Man, oh man, though, am I nostalgic for life without masks and strict health codes. I'm mentally prepared to keep wearing masks until October, although I feel like we'll start to noticeably open back up sooner than that. I really, really want to see my Mom and Dad in person again. Until then, we're all staying safe. Peace and love, all.
Hoping COVID will go away this year
It will never go away
Unfortunately it probably won't be going away as its here and unless we eradicate it completely, it will be around in some form. Eventually it just won't be a pandemic anymore and we will have to get vaccinated every year to keep it in control like we do with flu vaccines.

@@davidmaxwaterman you know the best way of fixing that? control your outbreak, so that no-one thinks for a second that the new variant could have occurred in your country! Notice how there's no Australian or New Zealander or Vietnamese variant? The UK variant may have even been first discovered in Australia, I mean when information of it's existence & possible infectiousness was released, the WHO immediately advised that it had been found in Australia too, cause it had been, way earlier, but it had just been reported & logged cause there was nothing in Australia indicating it was more infectious (still isn't).
Just control your outbreak & you won't have to worry about being blamed for mutations!
Based on survival rates of the last one and accounting for comorbidity factors, I'm still more concerned with government response being a bigger problem. Also, my rights matter and Klaus Schwab doesn't represent me ^.^

Physically distance yes, but why socially?
I had the same question, and scanned through comments to find one already stating it. I'm not perfectly certain, but I believe I recall a video of Hank eloquently differentiating between social and physical distancing. With this difference in mind, why is social distancing recommended? Perhaps this was an error/oversight. Mistakes are bound to happen, and this channel seems to do great job of minimizing mistakes. Oh, that might be a cool video - if it has not already been made: Mistakes. They happen. We all make them. Thank you for these quality videos, SciShow team.
cause old people are the ones in charge & they get to decide what to call it & they're' demanding social distance be the correct term
What about the Brazilian strain?
I made a resolution that I would watch less news and devote more time to learning about what the news is reporting. This is paying off. I enjoyed your video, I admit sometimes I back up 10 or 20 seconds just to hear you say things twice so I get it, but otherwise, great job.
