I caught a piece of a report on TV about a study that showed Covid had modified a strain that made it more easily transferred between humans. Anyone know if this is true?

It would make sense though with the skyrocketing cases all over the place. |

“That kind of makes sense,” says Ralph Baric, PhD, a professor of epidemiology, microbiology, and immunology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The new strain has a change to its spike proteins -- the regions of its outer shell that dock on our cells and infect them. The change makes it a much more efficient predator. It passes quickly from cell to cell in our bodies, copying itself at a furious pace. Baric’s experiments help to explain why the 614G strain, which first emerged in Europe in February, has quickly dominated worldwide spread. That doesn't support that we are dealing with a new strain, unless I'm missing something. |

It *looks* like Europe has peaked and is coming down. So we're a few weeks behind that hopefully.

It looks like our family Thanksgiving is cancelled, mostly because my neices' schools are overrun with Covid. One has already tested positive. They are going remote after Thanksgiving, but no one wants to spend all day with kids that have been exposed to it on a daily basis.

It's why those rapid tests are often followed up with other tests to verify. |

Hearing through a good source that REGENERON's antibody cocktail will be given EUA status soon.
Bringing more therapeutics to the fight. |
