Scientists are looking at the mutation's possible effect on the virus' “spike protein." The variant was found in cases across the continent, including more than 80 percent in Spain, the paper reported. https://www.foxnews.com/health/coronavirus-everything-you-need-to-know" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 51, 102); transition: background 0s ease 0s, all 0.25s ease 0s, all 0s ease-in-out 0s; text-decoration: underline; - The report pointed out the study has not been published in a peer-reviewed journal. Dr. Emma Hodcroft, an evolutionary geneticist at the University of Basel, said there is no evidence the mutation “increases transmission or impacts the clinical outcome,” according to the paper. A new wave of lockdowns and business closings swept across France, Germany and other places in Europe as surging coronavirus infections there and in the U.S. wipe out months of progress against the scourge on two continents. https://www.foxnews.com/apps-products" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 51, 102); transition: background 0s ease 0s, all 0.25s ease 0s, all 0s ease-in-out 0s; text-decoration: underline; - European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said, “We are deep in the second wave.

Bad news if true. Remember, the 1918 killer flu was also more lethal in its second wave form. ------------- John L. |
