India’s N440K variant found in Andhra Pradesh said to be 15 times more lethal than the double mutant

With the nation already dealing with a strong double mutant variant of the Covid-19 virus, reports now suggest that the southern states of the country could have been affected by a more lethal variant of the virus named N440K.

Also known as AP variant referring to the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh where it was first detected, the strain is said to be at least 15 times more virulent than the previous strains. It has a shorter incubation period and the virus is said to spread much more rapidly within the human body. It is also said that a short exposure is enough to get infected by the virus.

It was the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology that had discovered the new coronavirus variant N440K and said it may even be stronger than the Indian variants of B1.617 and B1.618.

The new N440K strain was found in almost 20 to 30 percent of the samples in Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Telangana and found to be more dominant than previous variants during cell culture.

N440K not responsible for the second wave

However, experts say that there is no need to panic over the new strain and that it was traced in last June itself. Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) Advisor Rakesh Mishra in an interview to the New Indian Express remarked that the strain will fade away in a few weeks.

I can no longer differentiate between facts and hyperbole.

I’m not promoting this idea, but is it out of the realm of possibilities that this is all being orchestrated and planned? This all seems too damn coincidental.

Does anyone know if that means that this strain will "burn out" more quickly?

China has poisoned the environment, world-wide.

Just imagine if the United States was responsible for this catastrophe.

The US government spent billions of dollars trying to set up a website in 2013 to sell health insurance and failed. They spent billions of dollars and couldn’t get a website to work.

So no, this isn’t all being orchestrated and planned.

It basically comes down to killing speed.

If a virus is too deadly, it dies off because people died too soon to infect others.

It all makes sense when you consider that India is China's chief rival and military enemy at the moment. Worst relations since 1962. Chinese intelligence also recently infiltrated Indian labor strikes to divide the nation, employing celebs like Greta Thunberg and Rihanna in disinfo campaigns.

Is it really unimaginable to think China could be behind the sudden, catastrophic spike and "double mutations" of Chinese-created COVID in India?

15 times more lethal than the double mutant...

Yeah, but is it 15 times more lethal than the TRIPLE DOG DARE mutant?

I know.

Imho, it’s all the fault of the CCP, Xi and Zhi Zhengli.

And the CDC and Fauci.

OMG, even worse than the dreaded Double Mutant???!!! Is it going to start re-killing the gazillions who have already died from all of the other strains? One would think that the only thing capable of topping the Double Mutant would be a Triple Mutant.

The headline is B.S. It is thought to be 15 times more virulent, not 15 times more lethal. Bad enough as it is.

Let’s hop it’s so aggressively virulent it burns itself out in India.
