Oliver Holzerfilled Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Scientists in the USA and UK claim in a preliminary report to have identified a coronvirus mutation that is highly transmissible. The study was posted on Biorxiv on April 30 but not sure if anyone on TV mentioned it yet. "Scientists have identified a new strain of the coronavirus that has become dominant worldwide and appears to be more contagious than the versions that spread in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic..." https://news.yahoo.com/mutant-coronavirus-emerged-even-more-110046843.html https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.29.069054v1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one side we get news of covid to be not so deadly, then some new strain pops up. If i believed in conspiracies, i would say it's a very good plan to confuse and divide people's opinions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result of social isolation has your immune system weakened and you are more susceptible to all viruses, bacteria and diseases? Or, is this a hyperbolic exaggeration and have you assumed that if you had already caught Covid-19 by now you would have immunity from the SARS-CoV-19 virus? If so, you are made an assumption. I hope it is, but immunity is not yet proven. Edited May 5, 2020 by richard_smith237 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirineou Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 The only significant news in this report is that there is a new strain and any vaccine development need to take it into consideration. it says nothing about how deadly it is. If it's symptoms are mild , then it is good news that it replaces all other strains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use your head, if the strain starting in China and Asia has less deaths and the USA and Britain are having more cases and the US has almost 1/3 of deaths worldwide obviously the new strain is deadlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chessman Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Kind of irresponsible journalism. If putting ‘mutant virus’ into your headline isn’t sensationalist scaremongering I’m not sure what is. And these news stories from preprints should do a better job explaining what that is. Edited May 5, 2020 by chessman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cdnvic Posted May 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2020 Please refrain from posting conspiracies. Also, take scientific stories posted in mass media with a grain of salt. Look for links in the story that lead to scientific journals. Until these studies have been peer reviewed in these journals, they haven't really been tested. Some researchers try to leapfrog over the peer review process by sending press releases directly to the media. This isn't how proper scientific studies are done. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had that one as well. Hopefully once the government test for those that've had C19 then we can all get back to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauGR1 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 7 hours ago, Retarded said: Rumors are picking up more steam. I just checked the front page the Guardian, no mention of new strains, but Trump is in the top 2 articles. On the Italian equivalent, scandals after scandals, including the well known, but soon to be forgotten Mr. Ferguson, and the cherry on the cake, 376 mafia bosses put out of jail, because of the covid. But, let's not worry, some of the news could be fake news. The mind boggles, some bloggers have already nicknamed covid a "yo-yo virus". ( sarcasm off ) There is just a little space for a cautious optimism though, there are apparently a few doctors, on other media, who say that it will be over soon, and the cure for serious cases is available and affordable.

I hope it is, but immunity is not yet proven. I do not believe anyone's immune system could be changed in 2 months of relative isolation. Our immune systems are a result of ions of evolution. So, yes exaggeration. Harder and harder to read this virus for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
