So maybe we need TWO tests...

Scientists say the preliminary study found that a more aggressive type of the coronavirus associated with the disease outbreak in Wuhan accounted for about 70% of analysed strains, while 30% was linked to a less aggressive type
SHANGHAI : Scientists in China studying the coronavirus outbreak said they had found two main types of the disease could be causing infections.
The researchers, from Peking University’s School of Life Sciences and the Institut Pasteur of Shanghai under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, cautioned that their analysis examined a limited range of data, and said follow-up studies of larger data sets are needed to better understand the virus’s evolution.
The preliminary study found that a more aggressive type of the new coronavirus associated with the disease outbreak in Wuhan accounted for about 70% of analysed strains, while 30% was linked to a less aggressive type.
The prevalence of the more aggressive virus decreased after early January 2020, they said.
WTH...
Thanks for posting this.

there were “debunked” rumors going around that each generation is less aggressive....but this study may back that up
Likely a natural mutation but wild speculation here:
but lets say Taiwan was Wuhan...A very aggressive new virus suddenly appears and causes total chaos and many deaths....society breaks down over time..eventually China sends “help”...then more and more “help” (as in troops) but it doesn’t infect the Chinese nearly as much because at that point it’s “weaker”...
