@icedquinn It wasnt about the gramatical structure, it was about the incorrect facts it inferred (which were still incorrect once you corrected your wording).
@freemo i didn't correct the wording because it wasn't structured wrong to begin with 
@icedquinn Either way, your statement was incorrect.. there is no meaningful link between SAr-COV-2 and the common cold
@freemo i also didn't claim there was
i said the ones we know about have a lot of mutations, therefore inferred they are highly mutatable.

@icedquinn @freemo From what I've seen, SARS-CoV-2 actually mutates quite slowly, certainly slower than influenza or any number of cold coronaviruses
@allison IIRC it mutates every two weeks but mutations within a particular lineage of viruses mutate slowly.

@icedquinn @freemo
@thatbrickster @freemo @icedquinn In any case, most mutations are basically inconsequential. The "mutants" you hear about are just the ones that actually manage to do anything to distinguish themselves from their brethren
@allison @thatbrickster @freemo @icedquinn and many of them have been discovered in-vitro; in labs. The actual number of said "variants" in-vivo is likely both low and irrelevant to transmission/severity. In fact any claims about variants and transmisability seems to be made up pseudoscience. How would one even test for how different one strain is from another for the level of contagiousness? In this short a time? If you read the papers; it's all lab theory based off of looking at the virus -- not any real world studies with actual organism.

Yea most varients are too new to have enough data to say much about it. Mostly educated guessing... that said with proper studies and more time to do them we can get accurate values for transmissibility.
