Multiple COVID-19 variants may be able to infect a person at the same time: study

When a person falls ill with COVID-19, they may not just have one variant attacking them, according to a pair of new studies that suggest less dominant variants may be simultaneously present and hiding in the same infected individual.

Researchers believe that several different variants of SARS-CoV-2 could be inside a person’s body at one time, with some variants cloaking themselves from the immune system.

“Our results showed that one can have several different virus variants in one’s body. Some of these variants may use kidney or spleen cells as their niche to hide, while the body is busy defending against the dominant virus type,” Kapil Gupta, lead author of one of the new studies, said in a press release Tuesday. “This could make it difficult for the infected patients to get rid of SARS-CoV-2 entirely.”

Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus: “Over the weekend, WHO released an update about cases of acute hepatitis of unknown origin among children. So far, at least 169 cases of acute hepatitis have been reported from 11 countries in Europe, and in the United States, in children aged from one month to 16 years. Seventeen children, about 10% of the reported cases have required liver transplants and one death has been reported....” source

Note: Given the ages of the children impacted, Dr. Allison McGeer, an infectious disease specialist in the Sinai Health System in Toronto, said one potential cause that can be easily ruled out is COVID-19 vaccination. Most young children, she noted, aren't yet able to get vaccinated

Why were 2 scientists fired from Winnipeg lab? MPs to examine documents | Globalnews.ca

I doubt there is anything nefarious going on here, as I think there would have been more investigations about what the lab in Winnipeg was doing. It sounds like the transfer of microbiological specimens between labs around the world were customary, and that the two scientists, Ms. Chiu and Mr. Cheng were fired for other reasons. In any event, probably good for members of parliament to know what kind of work is going on behind closed doors in Level 4 microbiology labs, and what kind of overseas research is being funded by our governments, in light of the escape of Covid-19 virus from Wuhan. Hopefully all countries have tightened their security protocols, and are taking a look at gain-of-funciton research, which as we now know, can be deadly.
