No evidence coronavirus has mutated to become more infectious

15 million dead mink in Denmark say otherwise...

15 MILLION cull mink? Wouldn’t you say that was an over reaction based on hysteria? Maybe profit if the farmers expect to get a return from their losses

A bunch of mink in Oregon got infected too.

As with regard to harmful mutations, if it was initially a “bat virus” that can infect humans, and mutated to become a “mink virus” - yes the original bat virus got degraded. (It can no longer survive in bats - so sad.)

However - this changed virus can survive in mink, which may be one more step in infecting people more easily and/or with a worse illness. Or not!
