A new Covid variant found in Asia is the most mutated version of the virus yet, according to scientists. The morphed Delta variant was swabbed from a patient in Jakarta, Indonesia. It has 113 different mutations, 37 of which affect the spike protein – the part used by the virus to latch on to humans. The new strain has been labelled the “most extreme,” with the Omicron variant having around 50 mutations by comparison.
Covid will not be the last pandemic nor will it be the worst pandemic.
