What if there are multiple strands of the virus, and Europe is being dominated by the more potent one? We might not even be surprised that the more potent version ended up on the other side of the planet.
- robocat 7y agohttps://nextstrain.org/ncov https://nextstrain.org/ncov shows there is a massive number of genetic variants. I have yet to see anyone successfully show that the variants have different behaviours, as that is hard to do. However any strains that are more contagious should dominate over other strains. Due to international travel, and especially citizens returning home, the different strains are coexisting within the same country. They have even used strains and genetic trees to trace individuals that transmitted the virus.
