The coronavirus has evolved into two major types, with differing transmission rates and geographical distribution, according to a study published in the National Science Review on Tuesday.
A group of Chinese scientists analysed 103 coronavirus genomes and identified mutations in 149 sites across the strains.
They found that one type, which they called the L type, was more prevalent than the other, the S type, meaning it was more infectious. They also found that the L type had evolved from the S type, and that the L type was far more widespread before January 7 and in Wuhan, ground zero of the outbreak.
Human actions soon after the outbreak was discovered in December may have changed the abundance of each type, the report said, citing the Chinese central and local governments’ drastic containment measures including lockdowns of cities, which it said may have curbed the spread of the L type.
The researchers said follow-up studies were needed to form a better understanding of the virus’ evolution and spread.
The spread of infection through faeces and urine has been recognised as an additional mode of transmission in China’s latest coronavirus diagnosis and treatment plan.
Citing research in which traces of coronavirus were found in patients’ stool samples, the NHC’s plan added contact with and aerosolisation of contaminated faeces and urine as transmission modes. Aerosolisation refers to conversion into particles small enough to be carried in the air.
Chinese health authorities have said that respiratory droplets and close contact with infected people are the main ways the coronavirus is spread. The NHC added in its previous treatment plan that aerosol transmission was possible for those in a relatively closed environment for long periods.

We really have no way to check any figures coming out of China, but Chris Martenson has very good satellite imagery showing still almost zero industrial activity in China compared to pre-pandemic.

well yeah if there’s a 100% infection rate it could be 11 mil dead
but the chances of that are essentially zero
Remove your shoes before stepping in your home, and then wash your hands after touching your shoes if you live in a questionable area.
About a month ago I read that I can spread through farts!
Lol! The post above should read “IT (the virus) can spread through farts.”
Yeah I know - via private email three weeks ago, dating to 10 days prior the death toll in Wuhan alone was 100,000. 2 weeks later the number was upped to 200,000. Now they are barely reporting at all to make numbers lower and Xi’s political position more secure.
SARS is a corona virus strain, not a different virus, but a genetic variant.

yes I know,
When hospitals are overrun, the 15% “serious” CV cases can’t be helped, and many more will die.
Thanks for posting this!
First type, type L, more prevalent.
Second type, type S, less prevalent.
Ping!

You assumed a 100% infection rate;
Coronavirus has a 40-70% infection rate.
“During the SARS outbreak one fart plume infected 62 people.”
We better hope I don’t get it. The west coast won’t be safe.
“The spread of infection through feces and urine has been recognized as an additional mode of transmission in China...”
Whoda thunk it?
“Split pants” culture where you teach your Chinese toddler to poop & pee in the toilet by allowing them to poop and pee WHEREVER they are (in the streets or stores) because their privates are open to the world to make it easy for them to do so.
WHAT? The death rate is based on the percent of INFECTED people that die (NOT the total population).
“Situation reports from the World Health Organization provide an upper boundary of the mortality rate. As of Wednesday, there were more than 60,150 laboratory-confirmed infections around the world, resulting in at least 1,365 deaths. A bit of simple arithmetic indicates that slightly more than 2% of those infections were fatal”
Turds can carry it? The Left Coast is in big big trouble.
My mistakes. At 3.4% fatality rate, and 40% infected, deaths would be 4.5 million.
At 70% infected, 8 million.
Yes, my mistake.
At 3.4% fatality rate, and 40% infected, deaths would be 4.5 million.
At 70% infected, 8 million.

True. Better use a chlorine-based water treatment in the toilet tank - and close the lid before flushing.
Gigi and Teddy (we’re supposed to take those names seriously) are fashionably late to the party.
And farts and tears and all body fluids.
