If They Were Truly Worried About Variants, The Border Would Be Closed....

Wonder whatever happened to T478K, the Mexican variant. Last I heard it was dominant in Mexico and somehow able to literally shock your ACE-2 sites so that antibodies don't work.

( answer: the mexican variant may be a misnomer, as the T478K mutation is part of the AY1/AY2 variant now known as Delta Plus, although all of these together are just reported as Delta. Actually, they're all mutations from the Pango root strain, and Plus also carries the K417N mutation that was the identifier of the South African strain. So it's 4 versions in one, all with the same media label Delta )

Now I'm wondering if there's a Covid pinata market these days? I'd like to swat a few myself.
