REVEALED: There are TWO strains of coronavirus spreading in Australia - as the virus mutates to beat people’s immune systems

Type A is closest to the one found in bats and pangolins and has two sub-clusters
One sub-cluster linked to Wuhan and the other to Australia and the US
Type B is derived from type A and has become the most prevalent in Wuhan
Type C is the ‘daughter’ of type B and has been recorded in Sydney

The genetic history of the coronavirus was mapped from December 24 to March 4, revealing three distinct, but closely related, variants. Scientists believe the virus may be constantly mutating to overcome differing levels of immune system resistance in different populations

... some people experiencing the symptoms above are also reporting a new symptom - a ‘fizzing’ or ‘buzzing’ feeling in their skin.

...In response to the tweet another person described their similar experience saying: “Wow, I thought I was imagining the buzzing, fizzing type feeling

...”Along with the fever he had something we had not read about: sensitive skin.
“His skin felt like it was burning - even when he barely had a fever of 99+.
“We literally used aloe gel for sunburn to soothe it.

This is hyperbole by the Daily Mail. All viruses mutate, but corona viruses are famously stable. There are not 2, but at least EIGHT strains now. The mutations are TINY, and not epidemiologicaly significant beyond helping in the tracking of the virus. It is not mutating into something more contagious, more lethal, or harder to treat.
