Thought this was known a few months ago. or did it mutate again to become even more infectious since then
Florida Researchers Say Coronavirus Becoming More Infectious in Mutant Form
Scientists at a research institute in Florida said studies they have conducted into the novel coronavirus reveal a mutated strain of the virus is more infectious than the version that first began spreading across the globe in late 2019.
The Scripps Research Institute team's findings were published online earlier this month as the paper detailing their studies was going through a standard peer-review process.
"Our study shows that the mutant virus infects cells much more efficiently in a cell-culture system, because the mutation stabilizes the spike protein and increases the number of spike proteins on the virus," Hyeryun Choe, the paper's senior author, told Newsweek. "Because the spike protein is essential to attach to the target cells, higher numbers of more stable spike protein naturally enable the mutant virus to attach and infect the target cells more easily."
