“ New coronavirus mutation could be evolving to get around mask-wearing and hand-washing

Wearing masks, washing our hands, all those things are barriers to transmissibility, or contagion, but as the virus becomes more contagious it statistically is better at getting around those barriers,” said Mr Morens, senior adviser to Dr Anthony Fauci, the director of NIAID.

Times has an article on a single nucleotide change which affects one amino acid and increases virulence. and is more resistant to hand washing.

the viral load argument I have never understood - if you are infected by a gob of mucus you have a higher chance of dying than infected by a little mousey breath.

when do you start showing signs - surely when you have x virus on board. and what does it matter if you started off with eek or a great amount?

Prudie, Fauccui is 79 and been in NIAD since the 80s and advising Trump on Covid since January.

Whatever else you might think, surely ‘making a name for himself’ cannot be one of them!
