Coronavirus has mutated at least once into two strains, study finds
Link to MSN story hereScientists believe there are at least two different strains of the COVID-19 virus causing illnesses.
A preliminary study conducted at Peking University’s School of Life Sciences and the Institute Pasteur of Shanghai discovered that one strain of coronavirus, type L, accounted for about 70% of the cases in China and is much more aggressive than the other strain, type S, which is milder and is the source of about 30% of the infections.

Say, isn't right about now the perfect time to have a guy in charge of the task force who doesn't believe in science and will more likely than not figure that this mutation of the virus is some sort of witchcraft? Trump will probably deny entry into the United States of anyone with an "L" in their names.
