Doctor Mary Gillis, D. Ed reported there are two strains of the coronavirus. “One had mutated into another strand. First, we had the S type. Then we had the L type. The L type came from S type.”
According to Gillis, type L is the more prevalent, powerful and aggressive of the two strains.
Gillis also indicated a mutation of a virus can also affect the kind of treatment and the development of a vaccine. “Luckily, the coronavirus mutates much more slowly than other viruses.”
