since last March, when the virus first appeared in the Houston metropolitan area (Texas). .

The Post details that the study, which has not been reviewed by other scientists, found that the virus spread in Houston in two waves, a first that affected older people and individuals with greater purchasing power, and a second that reached people younger and lower income neighborhoods.

As the spread increased, the scientists found a series of mutations, many of which affected the protein at the tip of

The researchers found that people affected by the variant had a

, which can be considered a potential factor for the strain to spread more effectively.

As the spread increased, the team found a series of mutations, many of which affected the protein at the tip of

, which allows the virus to enter cells.

However, they point out that the new report did not find that the mutations "made the virus more lethal or changed the clinical results."
