What is? bamlanivimab
What is a cluster and where can I find one?
Is there a difference between a wave and a surge?
What is a variant? – Covid 19, Influenza, the common cold – now the variants ( UK and SA)
Wash your hands, self distance socially, wear a mask – which is most effective – if the spread of C19 is unabated.
Is Cave Dwelling a option?

Assuming all questions are related to Covid19:
Bamlanivimab is a monoclonal antibody treatment for patients with mild to moderate Covid 19. It has been FDA approved but not yet accepted in BC due to very limited safety data.
A surge is a spike, swelling or agitation within a wave.
A Cluster is a concentration of infectious cases in the same area at the same time, or common exposure e.g. at Big White, McKinney Place.
A Variant is a version or form of something that differs from the original. The coronavirus constantly changes through mutation and through this process variants emerge. Some variants disappear, some persist and may spread more easily and may cause either milder or more severe symptoms.
Social distancing, masks: The CDC and American medical Association state that physical distancing all of the time is the most effective method of preventing transmission. The greater the distance, the greater the protection. Limiting both face to face contact and prolonged contact is recommended. Wearing a mask is especially effective when this is not possible or in conjunction with physical distancing.
CDC states that Hand washing is one of the best ways to prevent any infection and also to protect those around you. Covid is transmitted by liquid droplets when a person sneezes coughs or spits, touches contaminated surfaces and then touches eyes nose or mouth. The CDC recommends washing hands often with soap and water for at least 20 second because soap actively destroys the surface of the virus. They have a long list of when you should wash hands on BC Centre for Disease Control website.
Cave Dwelling: This apparently is appropriate in one’s own house or basement, but not recommended if it is a bat cave.
Thank you Gail
your last comment is appropriate to me. the cave is getting deeper and I need an HVAC guy to help with it

Hmm here I go as for bamianivimab you will have to check with the CMS who rely on the EUA to contact the FFCRA then FMAP will deal with Covid 19 through PHE at no cost..so far. Don’t know if you want verb or noun meaning for cluster. Maybe soon we wave goodby to the surge “which could be used as intransitive verb or just an old noun” .as to variant that’s you and me or you and I publisher
