| Esuriat 11/01/20 12:01:37 PM #210: | There was a report going around about a variant of the virus that was noticed in northern Spain in June and was spread around since then to the point of making up the majority of cases in many European nations. It's unknown at the time how exactly this variant has affected the virus but it would make sense considering its dominance that it was yet another change that made it more contagious. This being one on top of the established change that resulted in what was known as the D614G variant that had previously made it more infective. A change like that could also certainly factor into just how rapidly it has been spreading. Like I was saying about exponential growth, having the reproduction factor modify from 1.2 to 1.5 on average with the control measures in place is still going to have an enormous effect. EDIT: It is a preprint, though. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.10.25.20219063v1#disqus_thread --- Essy ... Copied to Clipboard! |
