Japan has registered a new COVID-19 strain, not seen anywhere else.
What Happened: Japan has found a new COVID-19 strain, different from those registered in the UK and South Africa, Nikkei Asia has reported.
Four people — women and men of different age groups — who arrived at Tokyo's Haneda Airport on Jan. 2 from Brazil tested positive at the airport.
The symptoms they experienced included fever, sore throat and difficulty breathing.
The strain seemed similar to the one registered in South Africa and the UK, but it also had differences, making it a different mutation of the virus.
Overall, 34 cases of this new strain have been found in the country, according to Nikkei Asia.

God Fucking Damn It but people are stupid.
IF they PCR tested and genetically tested strains of influenza like thy do COVID, they could have a new OMG story ever week as well.
There are a limit to the number of glycoprotein spikes a Covid virus can have . There probably is a lower limit as well. You can graph the number of spikes versus infectivity. There have been articles of OMG, the new mutation has more spike and there fore is more contagious. So it it the case with Japan, there is a limit due to simple space. The virus probably sloshes back in forth with mutations of more or fewer or more spikes. We should not get excited, when the number spikes changes.
Counting spikes is a fool's errand.
Scientists are following the money and politicians, industry and others set the money and goals. They should be following the pathways.
Eventually the virus will lose the mutation game, pretty sure that's how the Spanish flu met its end.
I am tired of these liars, who straight line projects out how long it will take to vaccinate everyone as if the virus won't go away until then.
Herd immunity is vaccinations plus people, who were exposed and survived. Spring will be here in 2 months. Between that running out of fuel and herd immunity, this virus will wind down fast in latter half of February.
How will we know?
When they stop talking about daily deaths and go back to talking about positive cases.
In other news influenza has been cured alongside cancer.
We will learn a lot from Israel in the coming months.
Panic porn.
