Can't be true. This is like saying if we seal a virus in a jar, then the virus is more likely to jump out of the jar because it adapts. Nope, the virus does not have an intention. Rather, it is a statistical consequence that the more viruses there are, the higher chances of variants produced.- Does allowing the virus to roam freely increase the chance that mutations will create a new strain that needs a different vaccine?
The harder we make it for the virus to spread, the greater the evolutionary pressure in favour a more transmissable variant.
There has been an extensive "family tree" of SARS-COV2 RNA sequences created since the Wuhan RNA sequence was leaked to scientists outside China.The RNA sequence was shared to Australia. Not leaked.
Sweden is looking interesting, even though there are cases the mortality rate is persistently low. It may be a change in how they report deaths but if not they have worked a minor miracle considering that deaths have not been in double figures since mid July and the UK and other countries still have a higher overall mortality rateSweden has a sparse, well educated, caring population. So when the herd immunity strategy at the beginning began to look wrong, they changed strategy, and the population trusted and followed the guidance of authority, which is basically very simple.

Like the t shirt says: "will convert for evidence".There is no suggestion nor invitation for you to convert.

I would say that Traditional Chinese Medicine was likely complicit in the coronavirus jump from bats into humans.
Traditional Chinese Medicine values pangolin scales as a medicinal, even though they are chemically equivalent to toenails.
- One possible route for the coronavirus jump from bats to humans was in the markets supporting the illegal trade in wildlife (including pangolins), which puts many species in close proximity that would normally be far apart in the wild.

The WHO has recognised that TCM exists and that it has a system for the classification of diseases and has overseen the production of standardised English translations for the classifications.
It hasn't said that TCM works.
In news articles for the public, viral load means quantity of viral innoculum.There are 2 big questions that looms.
It was suggested that medics received high viral load which caused serious infection & death.
Yes you will hear this, even from self-proclaimed experts. The 'viral load', strictly, refers to the amount of virus a patient has in their body - not the initial dose they receive, which is the innoculum.
I too thought that the reason they did not develop a vaccine was the mutation, by the time you have manufacture it its useless, this is why we continue to be reinfected with colds. A problem in the corona vaccine.
