Topic: Mutated Strain

The theory of viral deterioration suggests that as a lab-created virus passes through a population, it reverts to a "wild type" and becomes less virulent. This is used to explain why early outbreaks in Northern Italy and New York—linked to direct flights from Wuhan—were more deadly than later cases in the western United States.

Dr. Deborah Birx reports that many states show less than a 5% positive test rate due to successful mitigation efforts. However, an alternative theory is proposed that different viral strains, such as the more aggressive "L-strain" versus the "S-strain," may be responsible for the varying severity of outbreaks in major port cities. The discussion notes that the virus has multiple mutations that complicate a unified national response.

Speculation arises that the vicious flu outbreak in the Ukraine may be a mutated strain of H1N1. The hosts suggest that this "hemorrhagic" version of the virus will be used as a justification to add squalene or other adjuvants to vaccines globally. They predict a surge in donations if these stronger vaccine components are mandated.
