E484K mutation is potentially associated with SARS-CoV-2 adaptive fitness
"the scientists suggest that E484K mutation is associated with increased viral fitness under natural selection pressure"

Overall, the study indicates that the E484K mutation acts as a critical evolutionary event for different viral lineages in terms of increasing viral fitness. The E484K mutation could potentially increase the infectivity and immune evasion potency of SARS-CoV-2.

E484K mutation is potentially associated with SARS-CoV-2 adaptive fitness

A team of Brazilian scientists has recently conducted genomic and phylogenetic analyses of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genome to understand the viral evolution process better. Their analyses reveal that the E484K mutated variant of SARS-CoV-2 is present in...

Basically we are probably going to have this strain, or worse, around for some time as the poorer countries can be a breeding ground for mutations. At minimum we may have to get used to closed borders for some time.

It's just weird to me, we're all on the same team. During the summer the beaches on Lake Erie and Huron were stopping people from Toronto from using them. In retaliation Toronto has blocked outsiders from booking time on our ice rinks and using community services. Can't we all just get along?

This is why I don't want to go skiing on the weekends. If people where here and actually quarantining correctly then it would be a steady flow......and not as crazy on the weekends.

Study: International travel had 'biggest impact' in early COVID-19 spread
The biggest factor in the death rate from the first wave of coronavirus cases was international travel, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Aberdeen.

Researchers assessed death rates in the 37 hardest-hit countries, looking at factors including urban population, population density and arrivals at the border. Countries analyzed included the U.S., the U.K., Spain, France, Italy and Brazil.

Good report, travel is really an issue with this both distant and local. With such a large pool to draw on Sars-COV2 will be with us for awhile via it's many mutations. We really need to focus on vaccinating the world.

My sister caught the first round of SARS years ago on an international flight. When you can reach any (civilized) point on the globe in a day it is not a surprise disease can travel.
