There are TWO strains of coronavirus spreading in Australia - as the virus mutates to beat people's immune systems
 [Daily Mail] Analysis of the strains showed type A - the original virus that jumped to humans from bats via pangolins - was not China's most common. Instead, the pandemic's ground-zero was mainly hit by type B, which was in circulation as far back as Christmas Eve.Type B was also the dominant strain across large parts of the United Kingdom and Europe, but has not made it to Australia. Type C was an offshoot of Type B, mutating from the secondary strain and spreading to Europe and Australia via Singapore. Scientists believe the virus - officially called SARS-CoV-2 - is constantly mutating to overcome immune system resistance in different populations. Posted by: KBK 2020-04-11 |
