• A new paper details an experiment that proves the D614G strain can bind to cells more efficiently, and it also replicates faster than the original strain.
• The researchers believe that since the mutation binds better to cells, it may also help make coronavirus vaccines even more effective.

The novel coronavirus mutates just like any other virus, and there’s nothing we can do about it. A virus adapts to its host. Once the genetic material penetrates a cell and the replication process begins, all sorts of mistakes can happen…
