Scientists say they’ve identified mutated COVID-19 strain — and issue a dire warning about new contagion

What next? (Don't ask)

Scientists say they have discovered what they believe is a mutated strain of COVID-19 — and are now warning that this new strain could be way more contagious than plain old coronavirus.

What are the details?

According to a Tuesday report in the Los Angeles Times, researchers say that a new "mutant" strain of coronavirus has emerged.

The study, led by scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, reveals that the new strain is more contagious than versions that spread in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. In addition to being more contagious, the new strain could reportedly make people more vulnerable to a second infection after a "first bout with the disease."

These scientists help create these strains and then patent the vaccine so I wouldn’t rely too heavily on their opinions

It's a scam, don't believe the hype

Not a thing to worry about. Viruses mutate all the time. As a matter of fact a weakened mutation was also found. All of this means....... not much.
The best way to explain is mutations are rare so being so rare there aren't enough to "overtake" the original form. So the non mutated virus will be the more dominant and the overwhelming cases we will ever see.

I am sitting back in the comfort of my home, fascinated by natural selection taking place in real time. Those too stupid to live will learn the hard way.
