Kraken is the latest variant of COVID-19, but expect more mutations



There may be a general misconception that viruses are hunters homing in on healthy cells, but visualize instead dandelion seeds scattering randomly in the wind.

“And if there’s a couple of the dandelion seeds that are resistant to whatever weed killer you’re applying, it’ll kill everything except those and those will replicate and now they’re all resistant.

“It isn’t that (the surviving seeds) got smart, it’s that a few of them were resistant, your weed killer killed everything else and that’s all.”

Viruses that escape being neutralized by the immune system do so by having a tiny mutation, making them different from all the other viruses and they go on to reproduce viruses that also have that mutation.

Could Donald Trump be speaker of the House?

“Well, they talk about it repeatedly,” Raskin replied. “And if Trump decided he wanted to do it, it would pose a profound problem for their party because they refuse to do the right thing,” he said.

“And they might just vote for Trump, when they, you know, take the roll call for speaker,” Raskin said. “So, we know that the hard right Freedom Caucus people are in search of another candidate and one potential candidate whose name has been floated is Donald Trump himself, because the speaker of the House does not have to be a member of the House. And they are talking about putting Trump right there.”
