The Emergence of COVID-19 Mutations and New Variants
Scientists are worried the worst of the COVID-19 is not over yet hoping we do not get to see a variant that will help the virus survive and reproduce rapidly!
There is a lot of good news with the COVID-19 vaccine rollout across the globe, but there is also a lot of bad news.
The bad news is the COVID-19 or coronavirus is fast mutating and new variants are emerging everywhere.
The virus is still spreading throughout the globe as we write this article.
As it spreading, the evidence is showing the virus that causes Covid-19 has been changing.
Reports say scientists are tracking those changes because they hope to stay one step ahead of the new strains.
However, we can see the strains are winning the fight with new ones showing up.
According to Knowable Magazine, these mutations occur largely at random.
And some variants will help the virus survive and reproduce. They are more likely to persist in the coming months.
And there are reports the variant that could make the virus more dangerous to us is yet to appear!
