Important to note that this has been known since early summer. There are multiple strains of SARS-Cov-2, and the original Wuhan strain is almost nonexistent in the US at this point. The mutated strain, while much more infectious, is actually much less deadly at the same time.
- bart_spoon 6y agoMost of this isn’t true. This particular mutation is relatively new, only having been spreading much in the last few months. Also, there is little to no evidence that this strain is more or less deadly than any other strain, though there does seem to be indications that it is more infectious.
