"A (possible) solution to COVID-19"
https://www.tillett.info/2020/04…- one big issue i can find with this is that the virus has been found to have mutated back on itself in loops. a (theoretically dubious) asymptomatic strain couldkingsteven
- mutate back in to one that kills you.kingsteven
- Is that right? I heard that immunity is almost guaranteed. Maybe I’m not clear.monospaced
- i don't mean in one individual mono. ie. someone gets the asymptomatic strain as vaccine, mutates inside them and infects others with a more harmful versionkingsteven
- Woudln't that be an equivalent risk with attenuated strains like Smallpox or polio, etc, which were used to essentially erradicate them?Nairn
- There isn’t a separate unsymptomatic strain though.monospaced
- My understanding is that it’s still just one virus not multiple versions.monospaced
- The research he refers to from Iceland suggests there might be - at least, it would be worth the search.Nairn
- The differences in symptoms come down to a he host body itself (the person).monospaced
- Not surprised if it mutates. Not at all. It will.monospaced
- @Nairn, i read that the speed of mutation is down to the size of the genome, this is why we cant vaccinate for all flu viruses (they have a shorter genome sokingsteven
- mutate much quicker) i have no idea about polio and pox viruses... I guess theres always a risk... https://is.gd/SxxjyH…kingsteven
- @mono - it's 'one' virus, but under an umbrella of ever-evolving multiple mutations: https://nextstrain.o…Nairn
- Whoahmonospaced
- there was a research paper early in the sequencing of the virus that suggested two strains of SARS-CoV2 and many about misinterpretations of datakingsteven
- it'll be interesting when this is all over to read about what was important and what was noisekingsteven
- Interesting idea, but the virus is the same, it manifests itself more or less harmful depending on the victim's immune system and body/biology, so no luckgrafician
- it mutates ever time it iterates itself:

- You've got to be fucking kidding me, shape. You think a link to a elementary video makes your case? REALLY?monospaced
- heard on the news that there was a case reported of China of someone becoming infected twice. I can't remember if they died the second time around.instrmntl
