4.060 new cases and 62 new deaths in the Netherlands today.
Scientists are concerned.
The original coronavirus has since mutated into several variants, including the South African and the British. Researchers were particularly concerned about the South African corona variant because it contains a dreaded mutation that may limit the effectiveness of our corona vaccine . However, scientists are now coming up with disturbing news. Because the same mutation has now also surfaced in the British corona variant.
Mutation
This concerns the so-called E484K mutation; a mutation in the 'spike protein' of the virus. On the surface of the coronavirus are so-called 'spikes': proteins that allow the virus to bind to the ACE2 receptor and penetrate human cells. In the meantime, several mutations on the spike protein have already been found. “The Brazilian and South African variants of SARS-CoV-2 have about ten mutations on this protein,” said Jonathan Stoye, of the Francis Crick Institute. “One mutation that both variants have is the E484K mutation. And that mutation is associated with reduced protection against viral infection. ” The mutation worries many scientists. Because it may well be that our already developed vaccines are not able to cope with this mutation.
British variant
South Africa and Brazil, however, are far from our bed. Much closer is the British corona variant, which is currently in the household in the Netherlands. But researchers come with worrisome news. Because now it appears that the E484K mutation has also surfaced in the British variant. "Although only one case has been discovered to date, it seems very likely that more cases will come to light in the coming weeks and months," said University Lecturer Simon Clarke, of the University of Reading . "However, it does not necessarily mean that the mutation is present in all versions of this variant."
How the mutation in the British corona variant ended up? Several options are possible. “It could be a combination with the South African or Brazilian coronavirus,” suggests virologist Julian Tang, from the University of Leicester. "They could possibly have infected the same cell." In this case, a person who already had the British variant among the members could also have become infected with the South African or Brazilian variant. “We often see this happening with different influenza viruses,” continues Tang. "But it's rarer with coronaviruses." That is why scientists have a more plausible scenario. "The variants are more likely to arise side by side through parallel natural selection," says Tang. "The virus is increasingly able to adapt to its new host."
Independent
It means that the British variant has now likely independently acquired this dreaded E484K mutation, simply because it benefits the virus. “In laboratory studies, this mutation meant that antibodies were less able to bind to the spike protein,” says Clarke. And so the virus can strike better with that mutation. "This is a concern," said Lawrence Young virologist at the University of Warwick . "It shows that the virus is very likely to adapt to our immune response." However, this is not very surprising. "It's a worrying development, but not entirely unexpected," said Tang.
Vaccines
As stated above, the development is particularly worrying because vaccines may offer less protection. “Research has shown that vaccines are less effective against the South African corona variety,” says Clarke. "This is thought to be due to the E484K mutation." Fortunately, this does not mean that all vaccines can be thrown away. The corona vaccine from the American biotech company Novavax appears to be 60 percent effective against the South African variant. "This is still great protection, as the annual flu shot is also 60 percent effective," said Young.
Measures
Nevertheless, it is important to keep an eye on mutations. In view of this, we should also not underestimate the importance of the current corona measures. It goes without saying that the spread of the observed virus variants is greatly hindered when we work from home, the schools are closed and we hardly receive any visitors. But what we may not immediately realize is that we can also prevent new mutations from developing. Because the virus changes while it moves among people. “This is yet another reason to continue to strictly monitor corona measures,” says Tang. "Otherwise, the virus could not only continue to spread, but also evolve."
Control
It means that it may be more important than ever to obey the strict measures . "Unfortunately, a lack of control can create a melting pot of several emerging corona varieties," says Tang. “That is why we really need to reduce our contact moments with others. In this way, we can not only reduce the chance that the virus will spread or mutate further, but also the speed at which these different virus variants can evolve. Closing borders or further restricting travel can help a bit, although there is a good chance that too many people have already been infected. So we will really have to stick to the lockdown measures as much as possible. ”
Despite the fact that we may be slowly becoming more and more coronamous, the virus is still gripping us. The coronavirus that was already so elusive seems to have become even more elusive due to the new variants. And once again we are confronted with the facts: this virus cannot be controlled just like that. But at the same time we also make jumps. We now know more and more about this virus. In addition, producer Moderna is currently working on a booster vaccine that may offer better protection against emerging corona variants. It means that the Moderna vaccine may be even better able to protect the world's population from the coronavirus - and all its mutations. So in that respect, we should not lose hope.

After reviewing death certificates and causes of death, Alaska has bumped our number of fatalities from C-19 from 260, up to 277, if I heard correctly.
Similar findings re. review of 'cause of death' reports involving C-19 on the East Coast in places, nursing home deaths being reviewed are finding the same, and on, and on.
Cringed a bit last night; the elderly and disabled should not be regarded as expendable. And if there are still persons viewing them as such, then we have more than a virus to wrestle with.

I have friends and family who are medical and social workers who are now getting their 2nd C-19 vaccine. The first one was nothing out of the ordinary for a vaccine but everyone is getting fairly sick almost immediately after the 2nd. Fever, body aches, chills... The body is kicking into overdrive producing antibodies. So far the one that's popular in my area is the Moderna one. Still waiting on the call to get my first one.
Great that you are feeing better. Can I ask, was that treatment prescribed by a doctor or is it something you found via the net? Specifically the ivermectin and doxycycline, as I guess the rest is available without prescription?today getting back to normal feeling...5 days after the first symptoms...this is what helped me but i am not giving any advise on treatment because i am not an doctor but i have 4 comorbidities.

Switzerland refuses to approve AstraZeneca vaccine
The Swiss medicines agency has no intention of approving the AstraZeneca vaccine before the British-Swedish pharmaceutical company comes up with additional research data. The vaccine was approved for the EU market last week, but Switzerland - which is not a member state of the union - has its own approval process. The Swiss are mainly concerned about the lack of data on the effectiveness of the vaccine in older people. That is why they await the results of additional research among tens of thousands of people in the Americas.
Bern previously placed an order for 5.3 million doses of the vaccine from AstraZeneca. The country announced today that it has also ordered millions of doses of vaccine from Curevac, Novavax and Moderna.

Yeeeehaw ! You rode that bucking bronco, rooted to the saddle, thanks to diligent research, unflagging resilience and abiding faith.
Without further ado, as I reach for my trusty vape in thoughtful observance, this bud's fer you, sir !

OMFG....
Just lost a friend in Ecuador to Covid, and another good friend's wife is in intensive care with her SECOND bout of Covid!

Deepest condolences TychoMonolyth. South America has been hard hit by some truly hideous mutations of the virus. Brazil's population is being decimated, especially in the Manaus area on the fringes of the Amazon.

Sorry to hear of your loss Tycho. Sending good vibes your way. Wishing your friends wife a speedy recovery, catching it a second time is just crazy.
second or third helpings is what i fear will do the most damage to joe average instead of the elderly/predisposed. and with so many variants popping up, you would expect 1 or more to be more deadly/easily transmissible/resistant to the vaccine. i hope not, but...
Mother Nature can be a ring-tailed bitch...

Indeed. Hopefull we'll start to see enough people with antibodies in the future where this stuff can be beaten back and the risk lowered for everyone.second or third helpings is what i fear will do the most damage to joe average instead of the elderly/predisposed. and with so many variants popping up, you would expect 1 or more to be more deadly/easily transmissible/resistant to the vaccine. i hope not, but...
