As we find ourselves facing a CoVid tsunami, British virologists give us the reassuring news that the known CoVid viral mutations are not making the virus more dangerous.  From University College London comes an analysis of CoVid varieties isolated from over 46,000 patients.

The mutations occur for 3 reasons.  First, genetic misfires occur during the viral replication process.  Second, CoVid may interact with other human viruses infecting the same cells.  Finally, our human cells may modify CoVid RNA as they try to protect us from the virus.  The data show that this last mechanism appears to be the most common.

CoVid vaccines may induce mutations, but vaccine modification can meet the challenges.

If you can obtain an accurate CoVid viral test result within 1-2 days of testing at the conclusion of a quarantine, Yale researchers suggest that the length of quarantine may be safely reduced from 14 to 7-8 days.  Their study has just been pre-published online by medrixiv.org.  

The researchers studied 4,040 CoVid tests to offshore oil rig workers.  They determined that quarantine exit testing versus entry testing was most effective for preventing discharge of infectious persons into the general population.

If you are quarantining, at day 7 get a CoVid PCR test.  As soon as you receive a negative test result, it is safe for you to end your quarantine.
