Jepp! Vi får se upp med deltavariantens döttrar. Börjar dyka upp nya subgrupper bl.a. i UK som kan bli besvärliga:
Mutant of delta variant blamed for Nevada man’s rapid reinfection

Här en mycket intressant artikel om mutationer. Lite långläsning som rekommenderas!:
The coronavirus is still mutating. But will that matter? ‘We need to keep the respect for this virus.’
A drop in infections offers hope that the end of the pandemic is in sight. The virus may have something to say about that.

Mutant of delta variant blamed for Nevada man’s rapid reinfection
The Nevada State Public Health Laboratory has identified a rare case of COVID-19 reinfection occurring just 22 days after the patient first tested positive.https://archive.md/JoqiB

‘They didn’t want to believe it’
There was a time, early in the pandemic, when the scientific orthodoxy held that the coronavirus didn’t mutate much, certainly not as promiscuously as influenza. The virus has a proofreading mechanism that limits genetic errors as it replicates.
But the virus surprised the experts. The first significant change in the virus was identified by Bette Korber, a theoretical biologist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. She had been scrutinizing the genomes of virus samples from around the world and noticed that one mutation, known as D614G, had become common in the virus in dozens of geographic locations. This mutation altered the positioning of the virus’s spike protein — its tool for binding to cells.
