Will apabetalone  prove to be more important than ever?

Two articles on this new development in India:

But what, exactly, is a "double-mutant"? A scientist who spoke with the BBC explained why the double-mutation could make the strain more infectious, and more virulent.

A double mutation, virologist Shahid Jameel explains, is "two mutations coming together in the same virus"

"A double mutation in the key areas of the virus's spike protein may increase these risks and allow the virus to escape the immune system and make it more infectious," he adds.

"VOCs (variants of concern) and a new double mutant variant have been found in India," the country's Ministry of Health said in a news release on Wednesday, adding that "genomic sequencing and epidemiological studies are continuing to further analyze the situation."

A "double mutant" variant is a virus strain that carries two mutations. It's not yet clear how many infections have been linked to this double mutant variant, or whether the strain is any more dangerous, but the ministry said "such mutations confer immune escape and increased infectivity."
