COVID-19 mutation may be evolving to bypass mask-wearing, hand-washing

A new COVID-19 mutation appears to be even more contagious, according to a study — and experts say it could be a response by the virus to defeat masks and other social-distancing efforts. Scientists in a paper published Wednesday identified a new strain of the virus, which accounted for 99.9 percent of cases during the second wave in the Houston, Texas, area, the washington Post reported.

This stupid scamdemic reminds me of a parody I saw of super heroes with some really mild, unimpressive super powers, like being able to distinguish between subtle ice cream flavors, or predict the future up to 5 seconds.

Washington Post reported? I smell BS.

Nuclear grade.

The original currency must be losing too much value. We have election fraud to get through.

Again if this is a bioweapon the lab would have spent likely years doing using gene splicing techniques to have used thousands of virus strains to come up with the virus that was released.

If its natural then not much worse that the flu but if it's man made then we could be in deep shit...

Close to 1000 a day still.
and we know far more about how to treat it than we did in April.
That’s been a huge difference.
But is’t always “just the flu” as far as you were concerned.

I’m pretty sure the old Covid-19 virus already knew how to bypass a mask. LOL

How can a virus become resistant to inert mask fibers that virus particles arguably never come into contact with anyway? Idea doesn’t pass smell test imo. Corrections welcome.

Next, inexpensive, non-medical mask have never been effective at stopping the spread of the virus in my non-medical opinion. So has the “Orange Man Bad” media concocted a mask-resistant mutated SARS-CoV-2 to give desperate Democrats who arguably got satisfaction ordering people to wear masks a way to escape criticism?

Also, regarding a hand-washing resistant mutated virus, are people getting careless with respect to washing their hands? After all, I see people adjusting their probably soiled masks all the time.

Send “Orange Man Bad” federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a “third term” in office imo.

I don’t see any problem with voting Republican ticket for 2020 elections.

Insights welcome.

So are you stating they released a second strain, or that they knew how it would mutate?
It is a different strain.

“and social distancing? I guess the virus is really intelligent,”

The virus are microscopic ninjas, or tee tiny super duper airborne paratroopers. :D

A surgical mask only allows ~18% of Covid sized particles through. Everyone that says the masks do nothing are wrong, wrong, wrong. That reduction may not be enough for some immuno-compromised people though.

I need more reduction. I enhance the filtering efficiency of a surgical mask by an 18.7X factor by wearing a personal ion generator. This is my reference for those numbers:

Viruses mutate/evolve whatever you choose to call it. It does this in order to survive. So the question is, what would trigger the virus to evolve in such a way? Do the people with this strain show the same fatality rates as the other strains? Or are more people surviving? A dead host is no good to a virus.

I know a lady who had it a few weeks ago and is now recovered. Someone asked her how she’s feeling. She said, “Fine. I wasn’t ever sick.” Her husband also had it. They’re both fine. They’re fat rednecks.
