Two separate teams of researchers said this week they have found a worrying new coronavirus variant in New York City and elsewhere in the Northeast that carries mutations that help it evade the body's natural immune response -- as well as the effects of monoclonal antibody treatments.
Genomics researchers have named the variant B.1.526. It appears in people affected in diverse neighborhoods of New York City, they said, and is"scattered in the Northeast."One of the mutations in this variant is the same concerning change found in the variant first seen in South Africa and known as B.1.351. It appears to evade, somewhat, the body's response to vaccines, as well. And it's becoming more common.
A second team at Unidos en Salud, a San Francisco-based nonprofit offering fast testing in San Francisco's Mission District, tested 8,846 people over the month of January and sequenced the virus from 630 of the samples. They also found a rapid increase in the variant."The research findings indicate that the L452R variant represents 53% of the positive test samples collected between January 10th and the 27th.
Wait for the punch line. This is worded very specifically. Next they will say the ONLY way to battle it is the vaccine.
شغال ياصاحبي في المضادات ليس هناك فايروس له مضاد ناجع
This virus like it just want to fight everything and it ain't going away 😡
👍
Only 6 more years of this
Surely injecting bleach or shining a bright light will help? Trump
CNN 💩💩💩🤡🤡🤡
Waiting for fda on covaxin.....goes after multiple proteins not just the spikes. Seems to be a sars killer on paper from phase 1&2
Propaganda made to sell a vaccine!
CNN doom and gloom scare tactics again
You just want this to continue forever, no news if everyone realizes that this is now endemic and here to stay, but also nothing to fear. We have vaccines, treatments, we know so much more now than a year ago that makes this survivable
Enough already with this bullshit
Of course.
What about the plummeting cases and hospitalizations...this is news worth reporting. I know it’s not scary or make for high drama but this is good news.
BOO!!
Trump
CNN FakeNews fakepandemic
WE NEED ANOTHER FUCKING SHUTDOWN!! This MUST HAPPEN!!!
This title made my heart drop to my feet. Wtf
Fear porn in the morning
Well this is extremely disheartening! Two steps forward, one step back.
Bombs away, we , the world better get used to dealing with all these variants and mutations, I’ve said for a while and nobody believes me but we need to learn to live with this virus. It’s not with us for months or years, potentially decades. Society is being refined.
Wonderful. One third blame China. One third assume we're just stuck with it. And one third think it's all fake news. Hey everyone...DO THE ONLY DAMN JOB YOU WERE ASKED TO DO. TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND PROTECT YOUR DAMN SELF AND OTHERS. YOU'VE KNOWN HOW FOR A YEAR!!! QUIT BEING DENSE.
Fearmongering forever.
Very interesting. I am so grateful that we have very brave Frontline workers. Thank you for your service
😢😢😢😢
share and sympathize with the health of our country, Egypt, which kills its students by forcing them to enter universities to take school exams, and this will cause many cases of Covid 19 infection due to the number of students in Egypt 30 million people Thank CNN
Bollocks
So.....we just wasted a year for absolutely nothing.
Covid19 may take several years to comes to an end, the only way to avoid this is to follow the precautions like wearing a mask and avoid crowded places.
TOKYO -- U.S. military helicopters have been spotted repeatedly flying at low altitudes of 300 meters or less between Tokyo skyscrapers, contravening aviation regulations for Japanese aircraft
Viruses mutate all the time. The more people who are infected, and the longer they are infected, the more chance the viruses have to change. A patient's body will be loaded with billions of copies of a virus, and may will be slightly changed, or mutated. Most will come and go.
What people that claimed mask wearing and social distancing were similar to slavery didnt understand is this: It may not have been as deadly as u wanted it to be, but if u give it enough chances...it LEARNS how to be. COVID19
真•美式养蛊
And what are the names of the 2 separate teams?........and you wonder why your called fake news.......fuckin ass hats
Again, the world needs to thank China for the coronavirus & current world crisis. WHO & China need to be accountable for the pandemic. The world faces a pandemic which is also endemic. It will never disappear. People may need to be vaccinated every year against this virus.
now infect it with prions or something, c'mon man, we built a six million dollar man, we have the technology.
😳😱
Tbh with the amount of cases the US has had throughout the whole pandemic ...I’m surprised it took this long for a variant to mutate there
