Inherent random fluctuations in COVID-19 outbreaks may explain rapid growth of new mutated virus variants

2021-01-08

Abstract excerpt

A new virus variant of SARS-COV-2 has had a profound impact on society while governments have taken action to limit its impacts by enforcing lockdowns and limiting spread from the UK to other countries. Variants with mutations in the virus genome are likely to occur, but do not always associate to significant changes in the biology of the virus, or the disease. For the variant VOC 202012/01 (also referred to as B....
