QuoteThe coronavirus that emerged in Wuhan, China, over four months ago has since mutated and the new, dominant strain spreading across the U.S. appears to be even more contagious, according to a new study.
The new strain began spreading in Europe in early February before migrating to other parts of the world, including the United States and Canada, becoming the dominant form of the virus across the globe by the end of March, researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory wrote in a 33-page report published Thursday on BioRxiv.
If the coronavirus doesn't subside in the summer like the seasonal flu, it could mutate further and potentially limit the effectiveness of the coronavirus vaccines being developed by scientists around the world, the researchers warned. Some vaccine researchers have been using the virus's genetic sequences isolated by health authorities early in the outbreak.
"This is hard news," Bette Korber, a computational biologist at Los Alamos and lead author of the study, the Los Angeles Times said she wrote on her Facebook page.
"But please don't only be disheartened by it," she continued. "Our team at LANL was able to document this mutation and its impact on transmission only because of a massive global effort of clinical people and experimental groups, who make new sequences of the virus (SARS-CoV-2) in their local communities available as quickly as they possibly can."
The study has yet to be peer-reviewed, but the researchers noted that news of the mutation was of "urgent concern" considering the more than 100 vaccines in the process of being developed to prevent Covid-19.
In early March, researchers in China said they found that two different types of the coronavirus could be causing infections worldwide.

it's gonna use the FL and NYC gorls as hosts
:omf:
Things are heating up
I mean this was only logical since no vaccine nor cure is available. This is what viruses does, get stronger and better over time just like our body learns how to fight them off naturally each time. A tug of war if you will.
It's lowkey fascinating, ajajsjsj God knew what he was doing with these machines he gave us. :feelinmyself:
Am really interested to see the long term effects of opening back up certain states. So far there haven't been any reported spikes in deaths and cases. But a few weeks ago it was like End of the World and nothing has changed since then and now.
Yes ronamon

This is why flu vaccines become obsolete after a few years because the mess keeps evolving

nncbcn
Fag were not even in the top 10 of cases :hmph:
And this country has the nerve to slowly open everything back up?
:kii:
This is all so bizarre. Feels like we're all stuck in a poorly written dramatic series of MESS.

the spike has definitely happened in Georgia in just like 4 or 5 days sndndndnd
