    This is a double doozy. First, there's no new strain. Second, there's no evidence that there is reinfection from #SARSCoV2 at this point.https://twitter.com/JonLemire/status/1257661244309413892 …

        To elaborate: Mutations in the #SARSCoV2 RNA ≠ new strain The debate here is whether a mutation has functional significance mutations: https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1255843585733193728 … @NYTscience by @13pt and @carlzimmer ?functional D614G https://twitter.com/trvrb/status/1257825352660877313 … thread by @trvrbpic.twitter.com/ny8npxwdTB

        it is hard enough to find ways to deal effectively with COVID-19 without having to also deal with poorly reasoned reports that create further chaos & misunderstandings.

        So much misinformation at this time. Most studies don't pass the smell test. The number of Virologists and Epidemiologists has grown exponentially in 2 months!

        Towards the second point, the article that is cited does not make the claims made by this tweet. With respect to the first point… 'strain' is the language that is used in the bioRxiv in question, and it seems to have been used by at least one doctor Vartabedian interviewed.
