Well, that's the reason Nairaland exists. It exists to inject the light of knowledge into the darkness and ignorance of the unfortunate minds. Consider yourself schooled. OkhaiAsein: |
O simple minded one, why have you been running away from the dullard's latest high profile gaffe? Is Donald Trump your president? Simplyleo: |

Truly your IQ is on the same level as your moniker. Nyamuriflathead: |
Agree 100%!!! It is idiots who are living in self denial and the spirit of Antichristian who are keeping the I-SLIMEIC lie alive. They are too cowardly to admit that they are wrong, so rather than do that, they start looking for imaginary flaws in Christianity and Judaism to make themselves feel good. sagenaija: |
I see you're too cowardly to face me by responding promptly and in a timely fashion to my posts. It is clear that Ishmael was only a refugee who lived amongst the Arabs and was taught the Arabic language. He was NEVER their father! So in essence, MuhaMAD turned his own people into fatherless bastards who don't even know their own history just because he was fascinated with the God of Christians and Jews and he desperately wanted them to accept him! That level of stupidity deserves its own classification!! ![]() [img]https://images./2mjFCLAFAArg9S7CGiWx7L.jpg[/img] AntiChristian: |

Summary and simplified version for those too busy to read or watch the video: The Corona Virus has mutated hundreds of times since it first appeared in Wuhan China last year. The mutation which worries immunologists more than any other is called the D614G mutation and it was first discovered in Germany. In laboratory tests, the D614G mutation was shown to increase the virus' rate of transmission between cells, but researchers are not entirely sure of what the implications are for human to human transmission. It's better to continue and intensify mask wearing, social distancing and handwashing measures. |
Back when researchers first analyzed the genome of a brand-new coronavirus in Wuhan, its genetic sequence looked like this: [img]https://images./2rGL5bvR6b6Lerm6Ryfvie.jpg[/img] Three weeks later, researchers sequenced the genome of the same virus in a patient in Seattle. It had changed significantly and now looked like this: [img]https://images./1AgRc97zFhyGmLcSeeUlbH.jpg[/img] These changes are happening all over the world. The coronavirus is mutating. It has changed hundreds of times since January but researchers are concerned about one mutation in particular. So the question is,is the coronavirus becoming more dangerous? Well there's two ways one can think about danger. First is that the virus causes a more severe disease and that doesn't appear to be the case. That's according to professor of immunology Michael Farzan Phd, Professor of Immunology. He says the second way that mutations could make the virus more dangerous is if it becomes more contagious. But before we get there, here's the good news. The general understanding is that most mutations, not only in the coronavirus but also in every virus, don't actually change how it behaves in our bodies at all, is that right? Well,yes, most mutations do not change very much. They actually are just part of the process of sort of selection and they go away. A virus, at its most basic,is just a bunch of genetic material packed into a protein shell. In the case of the coronavirus, that genetic material is RNA, which is made up of four nucleotide bases. You might remember the bases A, C, T, G from DNA right? Well, with RNA, the 4 bases are: A, C, U, G. When the virus gets into your body,its goal is to copy itself which means it needs to produce more RNA and more proteins. A virus doesn't always make an exact copy of its RNA. And when it makes a random mistake in that copying process,that's what we call a mutation. But it's when it's copying the proteins that things really get interesting. Within that newly copied RNA,each group of three nucleotides, called a codon, can instruct your cells to produce one building block of protein called an amino acid. Amino acids all come with letter names too: D, G, Y, I--you get the idea. Different amino acid combinations mean different proteins. But as it turns out...Several different codons encode for the same amino acid. So, for example,say the nucleotides "ACU" mutated into "ACG." It's still gonna tell your cell to produce the exact same amino acid, T. This mutation doesn't change the protein at all. We call those silent mutations. But even if it's a non-silent mutation, something that does actually change the amino acid and changes the protein, that doesn't always necessarily change how a virus behaves in our bodies, right? That's absolutely right. In fact,the genetic code is designed to be conservative. Meaning that changes that it's likely to make, are likely to have a minor effect on the function of the proteins they encode for. So in general,mutations are expected in the course of an epidemic or pandemic. Most of these mutations do not have a strong impact on the severity of the virus or even the transmission of the virus. Of course, that's not always the case. And for COVID-19, scientists are concerned about one mutation in particular that might have an impact on how the virus spreads. The formal name is D614G and that is a code for the individual amino acids at position 614 of this spike protein that have changed. What this essentially means is that it's the 614th amino acid and it changes from D to G. Unfortunately the D614G mutation just so happens to be in the part of the genetic sequence that encodes for the viral spike proteins, those key proteins that the coronavirus uses to invade cells. The red protein that everybody sees on the surface of the pictures of the coronavirus,there's more of those on viruses with that change than on viruses without this change. Dr. Farzan and his team found that with more spiked proteins, the mutated virus is more likely to infect cells in culture in their lab. But infecting cells in culture is really very different from it being more infectious out in the world between people, right? It is certainly more likely to infect a cell in culture. What the next step is to demonstrate that our results in cell culture translate to human-to-human transmission. So just to be super clear, we don't know that this mutation causes the virus to pass more easily between humans. It does seem to be more transmissible between cells in a lab and it also seems to become the dominant form of the virus as it spreads. And you may want to know: Where is this mutated version of the coronavirus now? Well actually, it’s everywhere although the first detection of this mutation might have been in Germany in late January and then you would see that virus sort of grow up in Europe and you would see a mixture of viruses in the United States but then over time, you would see more and more virus with this mutation. So what we know right now is that researchers believe the mutations we're seeing don’t seem to be making cases of the coronavirus more severe. They are however concerned that the D614G mutation might make the virus more contagious. But the research so far is limited to cells in a lab. And scientists just aren't sure yet how the mutation will affect contagion rates in the real world. And if you just remember one thing, it's this: Does what we know about this mutation change anything that people should be doing in their daily lives to prevent themselves and their loved ones from getting or transmitting coronavirus? No, it's just a reminder that this is a very transmissible virus. It always has been and it might have gotten a little bit more transmissible which should make you even more careful at every point to make sure that people are protected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djy3WNLz_mM Mynd44 OAM4J Lalasticlala |

The Gospel of Matthew was written by a Jew. Jesus is the Jewish Messiah. The Gospel of Matthew is simply showing how Jesus fulfilled the prophecies of the Old Testament as contained in the Book of Isaiah. But you haven't answered my question. Why did an Arab raghead pagan child rapist like MuhaMAD suddenly start believing that he was a prophet like all the Jewish prophets even though he was not Jewish? AntiChristian: |
Secondly, the Messiah was promised through the seed of David. Jesus is descended from the lineage of David. What relationship does MOOhaMAD have to Christianity and Judaism? AntiChristian: |
Jesus was a Jew. When He quoted from the Old Testament He was quoting from a religious tradition and liturgy that He and all Christians are familiar with. Was MOOhaMAD a Jew or a Christian? Is he even entitled to be called a "prophet?" AntiChristian: |
They were written by Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians They certainly weren't written by MOOslimes!AntiChristian: |
Your "prophet" stole from the Old Testament, New Testament and Zoroastrianism. AntiChristian: |
Most Religions, with the possible exception of Buddhism, make bold supernatural claims. Thus, the key question is not whether Paul had a supernatural encounter with Christ, but whether the account of Paul's Damascus encounter with Christ poached from another story in the same way that Islam stole ideas and practices from older Religions?

The new trend in the age of COVID-19 appears to be using relief funds from the Paycheck Protection Program to buy luxury vehicles, preferably Lamborghinis. A man in Florida was arrested recently for using the money for things other than his business and a Texas man joins him in trying to fraud the federal government. [img]https://images./7ctCa86fWfAnI96ihp5P5U.jpg[/img] Lee Price III, 29, was arrested and charged with making false statements to a financial institution, wire fraud, bank fraud, and engaging in unlawful monetary transactions. Authorities say Price's scam was to send fraudulent PPP loan applications to federally insured banks and lenders. He reportedly used $1.6 million of the relief funds on a Lamborghini Urus, a Rolex watch, a 2020 Ford F-350 pickup truck, and a real estate transaction. In addition to his lavish gifts to himself, Price also spent several thousand in a Houston-area strip club. Price could face 30 years in federal prison, a $1 million fine, as well as a $250,000 fine for the unlawful transactions, charge if convicted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMuGU9EqUYA Mynd44 OAM4J Lalasticlala |
This is so sad. Self hatred literally makes no sense. Just because you look into a mirror and see illiteracy doesn't mean you should hate the reflection you see in the mirror. Simplyleo: |
