Scientists identify strains of coronavirus as pandemic infects over 1 million worldwide

As coronavirus is spreing rapidly throughout globe and researchers are trying to understand evolution of virus, scientists have reportedly identified at least eight strains of virus. According to international media reports, over 2,000 genetic sequences of virus were submitted from laboratories across world which shows how virus is migrating into new subs. scientists revealed that samples collected from almost every continent showed that dely virus is taking on an aver of 15 days for mutating. 

As per reports, mutations are helping scientists understand ir behaviour and origin. Trevor Bedford, who is a computational biologist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, US, reportedly said that mutations are completely benign and useful as a puzzle piece to uncover how virus is spreing. Trevor ded that research about mutations me it clear that gemics data gives a much richer story about how outbreak is unfolding. evolution of virus furr also helped scientists debunk conspiracy ory that virus might have originated in laboratories.

COVID-19 could claim 1.8 million lives 

Meanwhile, according to ar study conducted by Britain’s Imperial College, death count from coronavirus pandemic could hit 1.8 million worldwide. Imperial College modelling simulations are based on current data about magnitude of severity of virus, its estimated mortality rate, contagiousness and demographic and societal factors. study reveals that if left unchecked, COVID-19 could have infected almost everyone on planet this year, killing 40 million people, as per reports. 

report also discusses varying levels of response, ranging from spontaneous social distancing to tough lockdown measures that have been imposed in worst-affected countries, and projects potential health impacts across 204 countries.
