Scientists say a now-dominant strain of the coronavirus appears to be more contagious than original

Scientists have identified a new strain of the coronavirus that has become dominant worldwide and appears to be more contagious than the versions that spread in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new study led by scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

The new strain appeared in February in Europe, migrated quickly to the East Coast of the United States and has been the dominant strain across the world since mid-March, the scientists wrote.

In addition to spreading faster, it may make people vulnerable to a second infection after a first bout with the disease, the report warned.

The 33-page report was posted Thursday on BioRxiv, a website that researchers use to share their work before it is peer reviewed, an effort to speed up collaborations with scientists working on COVID-19 vaccines or treatments. That research has been largely based on the genetic sequence of earlier strains and might not be effective against the new one.


The mutation identified in the new report affects the now infamous spikes on the exterior of the coronavirus, which allow it to enter human respiratory cells. The report’s authors said they felt an “urgent need for an early warning” so that vaccines and drugs under development around the world will be effective against the mutated strain.

Wherever the new strain appeared, it quickly infected far more people than the earlier strains that came out of Wuhan, China, and within weeks it was the only strain that was prevalent in some nations, according to the report. The new strain’s dominance over its predecessors demonstrates that it is more infectious, according to the report, though exactly why is not yet known.

Shits wild. I know that we cant shut down indefinetly. Economy needs to open up at some point. But its hard to undersrand how we opening up when everyone is reporting that a second wavr is coming. Not just US, but international countries too.

Makes me feel like the only way around corona will be a herd immunity and they know that, so they just trying let people get sick in waves. Let a wave hit, shut shit down before hospitals gets totally overwhelmed, let the shit settle down, then open up and the same shit happen again.

I said this a while back.
Just can't overwhelm the healthcare system

Watching MSNBC now and they are asking why Trump would disband the Corona virus task force when the numbers n deaths continue to go up. Claiming that is political suicide.

My guess is, its simple. Trump and his administration dont give af. They are tired of it and it's time to move on. Niggas gone die regardless, and to keep talking about it aint gone help the issue. When the time comes they will jus keep moving the goal post and when they get called out on their mismanagement, they will jus lie.
