So, you don't believe what scientists say, but you believe what MC Asuzu writes for an opinion blog! I bet MC Asuzu has never seen the inside of a laboratory, let alone the structure of the covid virus. grin

Just because you don't understand mRNA technology doesn't mean you can equate it to the nearest thing you know, in your case being gene editing. Your claims are made up and fall flatly in the face of facts.

Do you know how many years mRNA technology has been used to try to find a cure for HIV? The technology was already perfected in HIV research, but didn't work for HIV, however it incidentally worked for coronavirus.
But people who don't understand how research works just resort to conspiracies
LOL! grin

The reality is that SARS-CoV-2 is a highly mutating RNA virus. It only becomes a problem if a mutation confers better fitness to the virus, such as high transmissibilty, severity of infection or mortality.

Such mutations can also be further stimulated by antiviral utility, climatic conditions, and aggressive number of cases.
Thanks for this insight.

But what peculiar conditions are in South Africa that aren't anywhere else in the world? Is it something genetic with the population?

Yeah, 96% recovery rate cool

Vaccination rate stands at 24% despite dumping AstraZeneca and having long delays waiting for J&J and Pfizer. Now there's an oversupply of vaccines in SA - we asked pharmaceuticals to halt exporting for a while.

Noticed Nigeria only sitting on 1,7% vaccination rate. If this new SA variant indeed is the most transmissible and worst yet much of Africa will be in big trouble with these dismal vaccination rates.
I'm pleased with the recovery rates, because when the whole thing started it seemed blacks were going to suffer it worse what with madam Melinda and her dying in the streets forecast. But magically Africa is coping.

You are talking about vaccination rates when Nigerians have the biggest God on the planet? grin grin Hopefully it won't get to a continental infection with the new mutation.

The virus is not only mutating in South Africa, it's mutating everywhere in the world.

The alpha variant originated from the UK, Beta variant from South Africa, Gamma variant from Brazil, and Delta from India. So, the evolution of the virus is not peculiar to a single country or location.

Did u close down whole streets and cities for months like China did undecided Nigeria came nowhere close with all its covid denialism - it only takes an extremely effecient dictatorship to achieve what China did. You don't know what you're talking about, just sit down.

U are missing the most important point. Level of exposure determines steps u take and how extreme ur measures will be.

Nigeria was not as exposed to covid19 like China, US or South Africa for various reasons.

If we have a high level of exposure u should take more measures and that’s what China did bt US didn’t until later and South Africa did bt didn’t do enough.

Don’t compare Nigeria level of exposure to China. We did what was required for our level and got the results to show.

South Africa get to work already and stop the excuses. undecided

Like I said u don't know what you're talking about and should sit down. China exposure levels are more comparable to Nigeria and not the US or SA which are in their millions.

So u should have locked your cities like China did, which u said adopted a similar strategy to yours grin

This conversation is out of your league, son - stick to the romance section.

Ether u have a problem with comprehension or I don’t know what Ure going on about.

I said China had way more expose than Nigeria which u agreed so why the hell should we do what China did?? We did what was necessary for us to contain our level of spread.

U on the other hand young man acknowledged South Africa had more levels of exposure yet didn’t do half of what China did. Do u see why y’all having issues now?? undecided

U need to ask Nigeria for help on this issue bro it’s clearly beyond ure capacity and tenacity.

You're the one suffering from severe and incurable comprehension deficiency.

China does not have "way more exposure to covid than Nigeria". Instead, it's the other way round - China 150K+ and Nigeria 210K+, and still u didn't impose a China-style hard lockdown. You initially said u were in the same league in terms of your response and that you'll send your scientists our way in SA. LIES! LIES! LIES!

Nigeria's low numbers are due to pure luck - u didn't do half of what SA did and your populace is far more skeptical of the existence of covid which implies less adherence to containment measures than you'll find in SA.

PS - SA and the US are democracies, they can't impose the type of lockdown and consequent human rights abuses that China adopted.

Even with our level of exposure slightly more than Chinas we did what was necessary to contain it period.

There is nothing like luck in the spread of a highly contagious virus. In the recovery u can say luck not the spread and containment. We took the right steps and it work.

We built temporary isolation camps, enforced strict lockdowns for months, enforced face masks using for more than a year. Restricted inter state travels, closed our land, sea and air borders. What are u talking about?? undecided

Go and take the necessary steps and stop whining.

Your vaccination rate is 1.7% - how is that a good containment measure? SA is 24% fully vaccinated and 40%+ for others. 70% of our over 60s are fully vaccinated.

We did all those things u mentioned like closing national and provincial borders including turning Soccer City Stadium into a temporary field hospital.

We don’t have potentially lethal variants on the loose. Don’t ever compare Nigeria with u on this issue. We did our job. Go and do urs b4 it’s get out of hand.

You also had your own variant months ago and still u didn't heed warnings that if u dont vaccinate there will be deadlier mutations. Imagine 1,7% vaccination rate for a population of 220 million people shocked Nigeria's operating on luck and autopilot I swear grin
