Researchers in the US and UK have identified hundreds of mutations to the virus which causes the disease Covid-19. But none has yet established what this will mean for virus spread in the population and for how effective a vaccine might be. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-52557955 Viruses mutate - it's what they do. The question is: which of these mutations actually do anything to change the severity or infectiousness of the disease? Preliminary research from the US has suggested one particular mutation - D614G - is becoming dominant and could make the disease more infectious, and perhaps more severe. This is what's known as a "pre-print", meaning it hasn't yet been reviewed by other scientists and formally published.#hast#tascg!news#redinf#fusion#time#gfor# (en New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_3m74BgelM/?igshid=rhcbzad93fda
