RE: Mutation Testing1 Feb 2021 15:21
AgentB, many/most people are lax & don't follow the rules; e.g. how many of us stick to the 2mtr distancing advice. On wimbledon common at the w/e bodies were out in force, & on sunday there was a market. In general distancing wasn't being adhered to, some people wore masks, many didn't. Vast majority (if not all) weren't the disadvanteged.
How many parties, raves, dinners, been reported on the news, (bet they weren't wearing masks & distancing) so I find It hardly surprising new variants spread in the population with some ease. I don't blame anyone who can't bear the rules, but until we ALL tow the same line, mutations will play the field. That's why I've been confident that that testing is here for long into the future, not just for covid, but for a range of viruses known, or as yet, unidentified.
