-
high mutation rate in the spike protein, commonly considered best target for vaccine, is concerning.
-
mutation rate has the potential to drop off if there is a seasonal drop in cases, since less infections = less mutations. its foolish to declare that because flu fluctuates seasonally then covid will too.
-
speculation that antibodies targeting spike protein might have a quick/short active phase, would actually increase severity of infection since a strong immune response with a weak antibody would sidetrack better alternatives.
-
early virus from wuhan is being replaced by a virus with a mutation to spike protein at rapid rate.
-
worry that recombination of viral genome is taking place and speeding the mutation rate. this happens when a patient becomes infected with two or more distinct strains of the virus, as the viruses infect cells they're able to share genetic material. suggestion that this is happening in areas with weaker sheltering restrictions.
