Researchers have identified a more dominant and contagious form of the coronavirus that’s going to be challenging to contain and treat.
Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have identified the new strain that has dominated the world since mid-March, they say. In addition to spreading faster than the original version of the virus, it also makes people more vulnerable to a second infection.
According to the Los Angeles Times, this discovery may negatively impact scientists developing a COVID-19 vaccine since research has been based on the genetic sequence of earlier strains and may be ineffective against this one.
