This version of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has over 50 mutations in total with over 30 changes to the spike protein. While many of these mutations have already been present in other existing SARS-CoV-2 variants, such as that darn Delta variant, this B.1.1.529 variant could be the winner if a “variant with the most mutations” title were awarded today.
Clearly, seeing so many mutations, especially when they affect the all-important spike protein, should raise some eyebrows. The immune protection from either vaccination or previous infection is likely oriented towards earlier versions of the spike protein and the virus. That protection is not like a pair of cast iron Spanx. It does have some flexibility and may fight off versions of the virus that are somewhat different from the original one. However, such protection may become less and less effective the more different the virus becomes. The big concern is that eventually an “escape variant” will emerge
It's not about SA or me caring for that country, but there is a new variant that has many characteristics of previous variants, including delta. So, you can imagine how that can effect the rest of the worldWho cares? SA is killing everybody anyway. That country is a powder keg, plenty of things trying to kill each other over there.
