SARS-CoV-3?

[Westerly 61]

Looks like a new strain is in the UK and it’s even worse than the ‘OG’ Covid virus. I guess it’s time to start working on the new new vaccine for version 3? Wouldn’t that be great. Two different Covids at once. Awesome.

60% of new cases in London, and has spread to all districts of Wales.  People crowding on trains to leave London before lock down are spreading it everywhere. If you are going to watch past the intro/bottom line, I suggest a playback speed of 1.25 or faster.

From what I have read the new  mRNA vaccines will be effective against these new strains as well.

That’s the theory. Unless the spike protein changes and the immune response it no longer able to target it. Unsure what the chances of that would be with a mutation. I’m guessing possible but unlikely.

At the end of the day though, until we have a concerted international effort to eradicate this quickly, and across the third world too, we’re at risk of ongoing mutations that could make the virus resistant.

And then there is another strain again in South Africa.

Nothing I have been able to find leads me to be too concerned. It is not a new virus, it is one or two of the many small mutations presently found in the world. There is a lot of press coverage, some of it a little sensational, and some concern that this one may be a better spreader. There is no indication that the vaccines would not work.

My concern is more around the lethality of it. To date, the mutations don’t seem to be more lethal, just more transmissible. No guarantee that future mutations don’t go the other way and full vaccination will take years, if it is ever even completed.

In a nutshell, don't panic. If it looks, walks and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. But we're going to do research anyway; in case it's just Billvon.

Very interesting and informative, thank you for the share.

Thoughtful interviewing and straight forward answers, that is rather refreshing.
