A Friday report of the Scientific Advisory Group on Emergencies (SAGE) looked at a number of hypothetical scenarios related to covid-19 variants and found it a “Realistic opportunity” that a mutation can bulge with a mortality rate in cases comparable to SARS (10%) or MERS (35%), both of which belong to the coronavirus family. While the body said existing vaccines would remain effective against “Serious disease” from such a variant short on “Significant operation” or change in the spike proteins of the virus, it added nonetheless “An increase in morbidity and mortality would be expected even in the light of vaccination,” which the plugs do not “Completely prevent infection in most individuals.” The report suggested a number of ways to deal with a more deadly mutation, including “Vaccine boosting doses to maintain protection against serious illness,” as well as measures to limit the introduction of new varieties from abroad. SAGE also considered the likelihood of a variant that “Avoid current vaccines,” says it can happen in several different ways. The most likely cause would be some form of genetic variation known as “Antigen operation” which occurs when a virus mutates to a point where antibodies that prevented infection caused by previous strains no longer work. The panel assessed it “almost sure” to some extent. ONE “Worst case” scenario described in per. hpen when the immune system will no longer be able to produce antibodies to new new variants, either due to its previous contact with the virus or due to “Previously experienced vaccines.” Such a doomsday scenario would make it “Hard to vaccinate” patients, but the researchers concluded that the result is “less likely.” The same agency released one separate report on vaccines last Friday, which found out that immunity is “Very likely” to fall over time, suggests “There will be vaccination campaigns against SARS-CoV-2 for many years to come.” However, the variant report also noted that coronavirus could follow an evolutionary pathway that sees it become more transmissible but less virulent, with SAGE to compare with “Common cold.” It added that while this is “Unlikely in the short term” it could later become one “Realistic opportunity” as the virus fully attracts its human hosts SAGE concluded that the UK should continue with it “Proactive support” a global vaccination drive that says it can help reduce the likelihood of “Dangerous varieties appear in other parts of the world,” while encouraging increased investment in viral surveillance to keep an eye on new mutations. To date, the UK has counted around 5.8 million coronavirus infections and just shy of 130,000 deaths, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. While the country experienced a stalemate in cases over the spring, the summer has brought a new rise, which officials attribute to the more contagious Delta variant first observed in India. Daily deaths have peaked 100 several times over the past week, which also marks an increase over the spring as new cases a day remain in the tens of thousands. Despite the recent rise, however, the UK government went ahead with a grand reopening earlier this month, lifting most of its Covid restrictions after imposing months of crippling and corporate closures. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has defended the move as needed, but nonetheless urged The British to exercise “All the right care and respect for other people and the risks that the disease continues to pose.” Poster Comment: I tried searching for this story on 4um but could not find it. I found it using Bing. I need it for my next article. Will publish later tonight.

It's possible. I suggest we get the Chinese working on it stat.

Hell. The Chinese, Fauci and Gates are the ones who probably already created it waiting for the right time to release it!!
