Coronavirus ALERT! by Flyjack - FJ has issued a coronavirus ALERT at DZ. His alert is unjustified, alarmist, and irresponsible
imho .
FJ posts:
"On a more serious note... The CDC has announced an update on the global pandemic spreading throughout the US. There has been a mutated cluster found in Arizona tentatively called the CooperVirus-19. "
The mere fact of Virus mutation is NOT something to get alarmed about. Virus's by their very nature mutate - that is to be expected. Mutations of the COVID virus have already been noted and published for every infection site on the planet from China to Europe to the USA etc. The mere fact of mutation is NOT something to get alarmed about!
Viruses mutate quickly by their very nature. Viruses are RNA based genetic systems whereas Human tissues are DNA based genetic materials. Replication in RNA-based viruses is a very sloppy process which always leads to errors, compared to the DNA-based replication process in human tissues which is an exponentially more error-free system, compared to viruses .
In fact, many researchers are trying to exploit the mutation process in the Corona virus family, as a general treatment protocol and remediation buying time until a Covid vaccine can be developed. This work was already underway and being funded at CDC until John Bolton in the current administration cut the funding for this vital work by 80%, just prior to the Wuhan outbreak in China ! The timing of Bolton's actions could not have been worse, in terms of global health and well being!
The mere fact of mutations in COVID-19 is NOT something to be alarmed about but was already an expected outcome for the RNA-based COVID-19 virus, and understanding this natural process may be key to developing treatments while a COVID-19 vaccine is being developed.
