Title: Influenza Mutates Faster Than Covid-19 Due to lack of "Proofreading"
Post by: Steve on August 11, 2023, 04:22:59 pm

SUMMARY - A technical paper that compares the mutation rates of Covid-19 and 'Influenza A'. It finds that Influenza mutates far more often than Covid-19 because Covid-19 "proofreads" itself more.

NOTE - This is a very technical article. Be prepared to be lost unless you are trained to read such papers.
