i would like to share some of my own thoughts here.
how could it be 70 percent more infectious ?
case1: a person could get infected with covid from 170 units of virus strain 1. but virus strain 2 only takes 100 units for the same person in more or less the same physical state. so strain 2 can be said to be 70 percent more infectious.
Now i do not know how they define degree of infectiousness in epidemiology. it might as well be through rate of increase of patients when under certain similar conditions for both strains. like x nos increases to be y1 for strain 1 and y2 for strain 2. and y2 is 70 percent more than y1.
So it is certainly possible to be more infectious always. it could only be impossible if everyone ever coming in contact would get infected for sure. But i am sure you all know that is not the case.
mutation of this covid virus....
this is an RNA virus and they are usually highly mutable. take the example of flu vaccine. there are many polyvalent vaccines. some work on 4 variants i think. cause of this mutability. also you need shots each year if you are vulnerable to them. but if you keep getting exposure to low doses of various strains year round, then your body is ready with adequate top ups and mutations/selections ob antibodies too..
It may come as shock to some that the fighting cells in our bodies change too according to the incoming foreign infection agents.
My theory on why the fatality rate in the west is so high is cause they live in a more clean and sanitary environment. less exposure to various infectious agents from nature since childhood. so their immune system and fighting cells are less used to changing or developing weapons on demand when it comes to all out war.
it is certainly possible for the same vaccine to work on a group of similar virus strains.
though i think it will become more like the flu situation. they will have to keep adjusting and redeveloping vaccines every year.
and we will have to keep using masks to reduce the count of viruses we get exposed to at one go. we need the slow poisoning.. hehe
finally, of course the companies are gearing up to reap the benefits.
re. China is blaming india among other countries now as the original source/ground zero of this virus. hahaha

Sincere Thanks to VirMach for my VPS9. Also many thanks to Shadow Hosting and cubedata for the experiences I had with their VPSs.
