Coronavirus mutated and became 10 times more dangerous

New strains COVID-19 more often they infect people, since in more cases they retain full activity inside the body.

We are talking about the D614G mutation, which gave the virus more proteins used to enter the body. The mutation also made the proteins more stable, and the implementation process became more successful.

The changes pointed out by scientists made the virus 10 times more infectious than at the start of the epidemic. According to scientists, mutated samples of COVID-19 have spread most actively in the UK, USA, Canada and Italy.

Perhaps we have found an answer to the question of why the virus spread so rapidly in some regions.

Researchers have previously stated that the rapid infection of US residents with the virus was not an accident. However, mutations can not only make the virus more dangerous, but also reduce its toxicity to humans.

Unfortunately, mutations cannot be predicted.
