Scientists at the Texas A&M University Global Health Research Complex (GHRC) have identified a variant of the COVID-19 virus — “BV-1” — that could present a new challenge to public health.


quote:

Although found in only one individual who had only mild symptoms, the Texas A&M scientists decided they should share information about the variant with scientists across the globe.


quote:

“We do not at present know the full significance of this variant, but it has a combination of mutations similar to other internationally notifiable variants of concern,” said GHRC Chief Virologist Ben Neuman. “This variant combines genetic markers separately associated with rapid spread, severe disease and high resistance to neutralizing antibodies.”

Sounds like the virus is mutating to be weaker like every virus ever does

What’s the point of all of us continuing to live then?

We should all go ahead and just end it if our efforts are in vain like they’re acting

We must all commit suicide to save us from the variants.

We can only destroy the virus by destroying any host or potential host.

It's the only way we can get back to normal.

I’ve already started wearing a mask on my peehole because I haven’t seen any evidence that it can’t get in my body that way.
