The new Coronavirus has already killed 19, 625 and infected 435,006 people in all around the world. Recently scientists in Iceland have found 40 mutations of the deadly virus among people affected by COVID-19 in the country and the infection came from the people who attended the same football match in the UK.

As per the reports, the researchers at Iceland noticed the mutation or the small change in the gene of the Coronavirus after analysing swabs of COVID-19 patients in the country, where, as of now 648 cases had been reported.

somewhere there has two versions of the disease

[God luvs America]

yet it came from bat soup...sure

Viruses always mutate. That is a non story. What is important from the standpoint of a vaccine is the SPEED at which it mutates.

This one does NOT mutate rapidly.

More hysterical reporting to feed the manufactured crises in order to generate panic among the clutchers.

And now for the “read past the headline” portion of the program:

“... “That’s a relatively small number of mutations for having passed through a large number of people. At this point, the mutation rate of the virus would suggest that the vaccine developed for SARS-CoV-2 would be a single vaccine, rather than a new vaccine every year like the flu vaccine.”

40 mutations, Iceland has only 737 cases.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

Interesting - so a vaccine like for measles, chicken pox, etc.

That is good news.

I got sniffles when I visited Walmart ten days ago, when I visited another one six days ago and at Publix when I bought tonic water this morning.

I may have gotten infected three different times with variations.

A new test is supposed to check if people already were infected.

The test could be used to measure percentage of penetration nationwide.

If the percentage is high, our worry level can go down and the economy can open up again.

One...Two...Three...Four........:)

Interesting article...thinking it jumped from bats to Pangolin then to humans. These freaking 3rd world countries with this crap!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Dr. Birx was asked about this yesterday and said coronoavirus is far less likely to mutate than the common flu. I think I’d take her opinion over that of a dodgy Icelandic website.

[hal ogen]

Who knew that God-forsaken Iceland even had any scientists? Wow...what next?

[Cobra64]

Oh, more good news to fuel hysteria.

[treetopsandroofs]

Sure, sounds like a nice, round SCARY number, more believable than say, 42.

Am thinking proximity to 42 drove the number being reported.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Question. How does coughing spread germs when the germs freeze in the cold air?

[backwoods-engineer]

In other words, they have more variations of this disease all cued up to play out, so that the economy of the world is totally destroyed, and millions die not from the virus but from starvation, which is what the elite have wanted for decades.

Dancing with her would be a chore to keep from stepping on those massive feet.

[bgill]

Well, there goes the vaccine will save the human race theory.

Yet there was an article yesterday saying that the virus was slow to mutate and therefore a Vaccine would hold up well.

I am constantly seeing contradictions of this nature, and therefore It is hard to trust anyone claiming to know something.
