An email sent to Rachel Thomas @ Stuff (Fairfax NZ basically in whatever incarnation they are now).
Hi Rachel,
you say that more than 7,000 single mutations of the virus have been detected from genome sequencing alone. This was taken from an article where they initially couldn't even spell the name of the virus (you can check in article under 'author correction'). Also you may have noticed that all of the authors are computer scientists and/or mathemeticians (ha). Viruses are common on computer platforms but one could argue (terrain theory) that they don't even exist in the human body. That these authors found 7,000 mutations with a quick look on their computers suggests that maybe someone is getting confused between RNA fragments and viruses. Easy to do, but one is not like the other. Viruses are basically germs. Germ theory is a bit controversial these days. But viruses on computers are very common, especially if you have any Microsoft applications installed. This is not controversial…
