A new COVID-19 mutation appears to be even more contagious, according to a study — and experts say it could be a response by the virus to defeat masks and other social-distancing efforts.
Scientists in a paper published Wednesday identified a new strain of the virus, which accounted for 99.9 percent of cases during the second wave in the Houston, Texas, area, the Washington Post reported.
The paper, which has not been peer-reviewed, said people with the strain, known as the D614G mutation, had higher loads of virus – suggesting it is more contagious.
Though the strain isn’t more deadly, researchers said it appeared to have adapted better to spread among humans.
David Morens, a virologist at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the findings suggest that the virus may become more contagious and that this “may have implications for our ability to control it.”
He said it’s possible that the virus had evolved to resist efforts such as hand-washing and social distancing.

And how exactly does it resist hand washing?
With gorilla tape??
People do yourself and your family a favor and take Everyday with food the following supplements:
Vitamin D 5000iu
Vitamin C 1000mg
Zinc 50 mg
If you can get a hold of
Quercetin 500-1000mg
Higher levels of vitamin D in the blood has shown to have a lower risk of being infected by COVID. Good levels of Zinc in your cells will block the virus from replicating
Vitamin C and Quercetin help Zinc penetrate into the cells
Yes everyone please have 2 cucumbers, 3 tomatoes and 7 cabbages.
I’m sure as many studies have shown that to be helpful.
It’s amazing how many people like y2r think they know how to handle things when nobody professional can agree to what actually helps.
No question that taking Vitamin C improves the immune system and so we can assume (without factual basis) that this will at least help somewhat.
Nobody know what helps, but there’s no harm in taking all these Vitamins and vegetables and stuffing every drug mentioned by a politician. One of them could just be what will save you.
Oh and don’t forget, there’s no point in wearing masks or washing your hands anymore. Aparently the virus was watching us and figured out how to mutate to get around all that. Hey, when did it mutate and get eyes and a brain? 🤣
Looks like fake news to me.
Translation: Until HKB”H has rachmanus and removes this terrible machala, we’re totally powerless… it’s Erev Yom Kippur- let’s do the only REAL thing we can, and truly daven b’chol lev v’nefesh for Him to send a yeshuah!
y2r didn’t make up the recommendations, although the dosages are a bit exaggerated.

COVID-19 MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL (Google it – it’s on page 5 of 30).
The only “experts” who really know how to combat this virus are the ones who admit they don’t know. Yes, there are protocols we can try, but ultimately Hashem is the True Healer, and we should all pray for a Healthy New Year, and He should take the virus out of our midst entirely. Amein.
