Professor Li Lanjuan and her colleagues from Zhejiang University also found direct evidence that certain mutations could create strains deadlier than others.
The team took viral strains from 11 randomly chosen COVID-19 patients from Hangzhou and tested how efficiently they could infect and kill cells, the SCMP reports.
The researchers observed “diverse mutations” among the virus strains including one that generates 270 times as much viral load as the least potent type.
Strains of the virus that create high viral loads are more dangerous.

Isn't it lovely how managed healthcare essentially just kills people and never has to answer for it? There are people who obviously have this virus who cannot get tested because the money people won't approve it. There are obviously many people dying with this virus without ever having been tested for it....despite having asked to be tested and turned down by the money grubbers. I hope the people responsible for the disaster that is going on with the tests are put in prison when this is over.

Summer colds are not a new thing. I get one almost every year. Two years ago, I got H1N1 in July. Yes. It's normal.
I live in Missouri where we have 100+ temps in July, with ridiculous humidity.

I believe I may have contracted COVID-19
I don't know anyone who hasn't demonstrated COVID-19 symptoms. Some have been a bit more serious than others, but mostly mild.
I know people who were tested earlier this year, before COVID-19 was a thing outside China, they were told the virus was not identifiable and that it was just some upper respiratory infection.
I have been saying to everybody that I know that we need to be tested for antibodies. Unfortunately in the current race for complete insanity, that suggestion has not been considered an option.
