so....the virus is changing and mutating, which is something viruses always do, and all of the “brilliant” scientists who have been given carte-blanche to run all of our lives have absolutely no idea what it means.

Title: “A new coronavirus mutation is taking over the world”

And then a line or two into the article it says that the mutation may not mean anything at all????? How does “taking over the world” mean nothing?

As I see someone posted already, the disease will go away November 4.

Love it, “here’s what it means” read, read, read..... We don’t know what it means.

Priceless. They achieved their mission to get noticed for something.

What absolutely terrible “journalism”. Who on Earth wrote this terrible headline? How about something like “New mutation observed in SARS-CoV-2”?

Just an excuse to explain it’s low mortality rate it always had when treated properly and without the Northern Governors murdering their elderly population.

So during the period we locked down half or more of the healthy hosts, the virus got more efficient at infecting the hosts it could find

What a coinky dink...who wouldnt have seen that coming

Lets try more lockdowns and see how “lucky” the virus is

But this variation of the virus (nicknamed the “G” variation) seems to show up in more and more of the virus samples taken from people infected recently compared to early in the pandemic.

The ‘G’ is for “government”.

I like the first sentence.

“A mutation in the protein that allows SARS-CoV-2 to enter cells might make it easier for the virus to spread — or it might not make a difference at all.”

Yep. Honesty at last.

My opinion is over time lower pathogenicity, easier transmission will take place.

That’s based on SCIENCE.

Really, it is, although I’m being a bit facetious above.

But a novel to human zoonotic virus is most likely to follow such a course via natural selection.

Call it what you will. Fauci/Biden will blame Trump for it and it will disappear in early November.

WUFLU 20 21 22 just around the corner.

Need NATIONAL DISTANCING from the ChiCom Plague Pit NOW.

END all travel with ChiCom and Moratorium on all goods from ChiCom china til effective testing system is in place.

DOMESTIC Manufacture of ALL drugs, medical equipment and materials (deny the ChiComs control of such things)

Meanwhile Pelosi and her cadre prattle on about spending another 10 Trillion dollars ‘stimulus’ which mostly goes to propping up big government.
