California's COVID-19 Variant Appears To Be More Contagious AND Deadlier

 


A coronavirus variant that probably emerged in May and surged to become the dominant strain in California not only spreads more readily than its predecessors but also evades antibodies generated by COVID-19 vaccines or prior infection and is associated with severe illness and death, researchers said. 

In a study that helps explain the state’s dramatic holiday surge in COVID-19 cases and deaths — and portends further trouble ahead — scientists at UC San Francisco said the cluster of mutations that characterizes the homegrown strain should mark it as a “variant of concern” on par with those from the United Kingdom, South Africa and Brazil.

There is a limit t how contagious can be. Chemical reactions only happen so fast. A pathway within a cell is a series of chemical reaction.

Soon politicians and rent seeking scientist will have broken the "Sonic" barrier of chemical reactions. They will happen faster than the speed of sound or polymerization. Should they get a Nobel prize for it? Why not? In 1949 a guy from Portugal got a Nobel Prize for telling people to treat other people by sticking a needle in their brain and stirring it around.

What a virus.
From a food market the Chinese and WHO say. Sure. Accept that lie and you'll be a slave for ever.
The truth is that it was likely a lab leak from the Wuhan lab and the WHO lies to your face just as they help the Chinese on the Taiwan issue. It's all about money. Your children's future, entire way of life on the planet in danger because of a virus from a food market. Go along with this 50+trillion dollar lie and your freedom ends. Your children's children will be slaves,not even knowing who controls them. Truth ministry news guard next. Bull gates is not a mass murdering psychpath who is wanted for crimes against humanity in several African nations after thousands died and got sick thanks to his vaccine experiments. He's a modern Nazi doing human experiments, there and here.
