There does seem to be some evidence that antibodies are less effective against the India strain: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01274-7 Think the caution is more to do with what we don't know than what we do, it takes time to do enough tests to be sure. Looks to me like the more it spreads, the more it mutates and there is probably a real risk of a mutation that could render the vaccines ineffective and put us back to square one.

Better lock down now then since we’re going to have to lock down anyway. If you keep looking hard enough you’ll eventually find something. If this variant is more transmissible and less deadly then shouldn’t we encourage it? Besides, this year of lockdown has done more than enough damage already.

I'm not qualified to say, I expect you are not either, and I'm fucking positive Turkish isn't. They do seem to be over-cautious but I expect there is good reason. It looks to me like it's a race against time, vaccines v variants. The more it spreads/mutates the less time we have to develop updated vaccines for next winter.

After a protracted period of time, the more benign variants are likely to kill fewer of their hosts and therefore survive longer and spread more.

Any given mutation could be either more or less dangerous than the last, we’re better off having as few of them as possible. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7095397/ (Selective quotes) Quote Moreover, the role of natural selection in virus evolution is not easily predicted, rendering rampant speculation around the evolutionary trajectory of a virus during a nascent outbreak investigation especially problematic. The pervasive claim that a virus will mutate to become more virulent during an outbreak is particularly illustrative of this phenomenon, even though this spectre of a ‘super killer’ virus is baseless. In reality, the evolution of virulence is a highly complex topic that has inspired extensive research on evolutionary theory and debate6. Mutations can also make a virus either more or less virulent. A common idea is that virulence will only change — either upwards or downwards — if it increases the transmission rate of the virus, which effectively means an increase in the number of virus ‘offspring’. However, high virulence may (although by no means always) reduce transmissibility if the host is too sick to expose others. Quote So, could SARS-CoV-2 adapt in the same way? Yes. Will adaptation precipitate more deaths? Unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the more mutations there are, then the chance of a really nasty mutation occurring actually diminishes? You'd need an awful lot of unlikely mutations to occur at the same time for it to get really nasty - for example it becomes very transmissable, has a long period where the infected person is viraemic but has no symptoms (therefore takes no action to prevent infection of others) and then suddenly causes some kind of major illness which quickly causes death. So yes very highly unlikely but not impossible. Much much less likely than it simply becoming a mild illness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutations won’t necessarily be more or less dangerous. It’s a long haul trend that the most infectious strain which takes the longest to kill its host (if at all) will become dominant. As an example, if giraffes with longer necks are more likely to survive, that doesn’t mean a giraffe is more likely to give birth to a calf with a longer neck.

Indian variant spreads 50% - 60% faster (on another note, are we allowed to keep referring to the UK, South African, Brazilian & Indian variants, but we're racists that should be hung if we call it the Chinese virus?) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-57119579 Headlines from the article : It (possibly?) spreads a 'smidge' faster than the Kent variant! Sage are worried that at 40% more spreadable, pressure would be put on the NHS 36.2 million first doses of vaccine 19.3 million second doses (all 'vulnerable' people) 50k people currently infected - down from 1.25 million at the start of the year 1000 people in hospital - down from circa 25k(?) in January (but they don't give that figure, so it's a rough estimate based on hospitalisations per 100k people at the time) The much vaunted "herd immunity" was achieved many weeks ago Anyone know how the NHS will become over run with this variant? If it spreads 50% faster than the old one - which spread pretty quickly anyway! - how are people going to be ending up in hospital if all the 'vulnerable' people have had two vaccines and pretty much everyone over 40 has had one? Unless this variant is more 'potent' for those aged 18 - 40 and will put more of them in hospital??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
