COVID could mutate into a new super variant which could beat vaccines, make people sicker and reinfect victims in a devastating new outbreak, leading experts have warned. Scientists told The Sun Online about the need to vaccinate as many people as possible and stick to the lockdown rules as it is feared the rapidly changing virus could overwhelm our current arsenal of vaccines. The experts hammered home the need to rob Covid of the rapid person-to-person transmission which helps it develop mutations.  And they warned possible new variants in the future could make people sicker and re-infect people who had already developed antibodies in a “very, very scary” new outbreak. It comes as Prime Minister Boris Johnson pleaded with Brits to stick to the rules as we go into the long weekend for Easter so the UK can keep to its plan to unlock totally by June. Hot weather earlier this week already saw thronging parks and beaches amid fears it could trigger a new wave despite months of lockdown pain finally leading to plunge cases. Covid variants and mutations have been popping up around the world – with various tweaks appearing to make it more transmissible.  Fears have loomed for months that a mutant Covid variant could become significantly more deadly. Meanwhile, scientists in India claimed they have identified a new variant that carries two mutations.  And variants first identified in South Africa and Brazil contain the E484K mutation, which is thought to be make the bug evade vaccines.

Studies so far have shown the Pfizer and AstraZeneca jabs do work against current known variants. It comes amid fears the E484K mutation could make them slightly less effective. The latest results from Pfizer show the vaccine does protect against the South African strain, raising hopes the same will be true for the Brazil variant.

The best ways to avoid this are to vaccinate as many as we can – and reduce transmission – and to stay in lockdown until as many as we can are vaccinated

Dr Tony Lockett

Dr Tony Lockett, from King’s College London’s Institute of Pharmaceutical Science, told The Sun Online about the prospect of a devastating new mutation – and urged Brits to stick to the rules. He said: “The effect – well it could be devastating – much worse than the original as younger people could become sicker and those who have had the virus get reinfected with the new strain “Its really very scary.” It comes as it was warned coronavirus mutations could render vaccines redundant in less than one year, according to a survey of epidemiologists by The People’s Vaccine Alliance. Dr Lockett explained some mutations arise when the virus infects people who cannot beat it with their immune system. The expert added: “Uncontrolled proliferation leads to the virus replicating more actively and hence mutation is more likely.  “Patients with poor immune systems are therefore are a possible source of mutations.” He went on: “The causes of mutations are therefore allowing vulnerable subjects to get exposed.  “The best ways to avoid this are to vaccinate as many as we can – and reduce transmission – and to stay in lockdown until as many as we can are vaccinated.  “As Chris Whitty has indicated speeding the lockdown release will lead to more transmission and so more likely mutants – or existing mutants spreading – so the mutations are fed by meeting up and not getting vaccinated.”

[Mutations] are already on the way to becoming immune to our current vaccines.

Harvard Professor Dr William Hannage explained it is key to stop the new variants before they can get a foothold as it stops the spread which fuels the mutations. He told The Sun Online: “At the moment there is a lot of concern around E484K, a mutation in the spike protein which is thought to help the virus sidestep immunity from prior infection and is found in several of the variants. “While it looks like vaccines  should still offer protection, at least from severe disease, this is one to watch.  “It is why the government has been so keen to stop B.1.351 (the South African variant) from getting a toehold in the UK, because one of the mutations characterizing that variant is E484K. “There are a few others as well which make antibody treatments less effective.” Scientists are already working on tweaked vaccines to help deal with new mutations in future, much like the flu vaccine which is altered every year. Ravi Gupta, a professor of Clinical Microbiology at the Cambridge Institute for Therapeutic Immunology and Infectious Disease said: “(Mutations) are already on the way to becoming immune to our current vaccines. “For example, the AstraZeneca study did not do well against the South African strain. “The virus is already on its way to becoming resistant to what we have at the moment. There’s evidence the same mutations are cropping up again and again. “For example, the Brazil and South African variants have this E484K mutation that really makes it hard for our antibodies to neutralise and stop the virus from causing infection.” There has been growing concern over the spread of South African and Brazilian variants of coronavirus in Europe as a third wave of Covid-19 sweeps across the continent. A string of countries have gone back into lockdown or tightened up measures again in response to spiking infection rates.  Speaking in a video on social media this morning, the Mr Johnson isued a warning to anyone planning to see loved ones for the first time in months over Easter. He said the country is “not yet” at the stage where families and friends can meet inside, even if they have been vaccinated. Mr Johnson added: “We’re very much in a world where you can meet friends and family outdoors under the rule of six or two households. “And even though friends and family members may be vaccinated, the vaccines are not giving 100 per cent protection and that’s why we just need to be cautious. “We don’t think they entirely reduce or remove the risk of transmission.”  Nick Note: Speaking as your librarian, my research indicates if you have had both doses of your mRNA vaccine you should have great immunity. We have set up a vaccinated bubble here. Anyone in the compound has had to completed the vaccines and not been around non vaccinated people. Its good to share meals again and not viewing people through plexiglass, . My daughters have gone to see mom for spring break who they have not been with for a year during the lockdowns. Since they are flying when they come back its 15 day quarantine and test every 5 days. Our greatest threat is flying and non vaccinated people. SO far the vaccine seems to offer significant protection from lnown variants. I am sure we will get a mutated variants. This will come from and circulate among the barbarian unvaccinated hordes. The trick here is to WAIT for the mutations to arrive and the coming booster shots. This is our new reality. Do not let your guard down. Please continue to follow your protection regime including the vitamins and supplements. We have developed and ordered and paid for our super vitamin. This is being manufactured in a USDA certified facility in the US. The CoronaVit  was supposed to be delivered in January……. Welcome to the new reality. The global economy is still climbing out of shutdowns. Our vitamins ingredients never combined before are still in independent lab verification. I will advise when they are ready and we will ship you a supply to try.

March unemployment rate falls to 6%

(Bloomberg) — Asian stocks and U.S. equity futures posted modest gains Friday after U.S. shares reached a record on optimism over a stimulus-fueled economic rebound. Trading volumes were below average due to holidays. Chip-makers bolstered South Korean equities following a report that the U.S. plans to meet with semiconductor and auto companies to discuss the global microprocessor shortage. A gauge of Asia-Pacific shares rose for a second day. U.S. equity futures edged up after the S&P 500 closed above 4,000 for the first time. Tech shares outperformed and value stocks rallied as traders weighed President Joe Biden’s $2.25 trillion spending plan and signs of faster growth. Treasuries rebounded after the worst quarter in decades with 10-year yields falling back below 1.7%. The dollar retreated. Oil climbed after the OPEC+ alliance agreed to boost output gradually. In Asia, markets including Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and India are shut for holidays, as are many worldwide.

Investors are cheering increasing signs of strength in the U.S. economy. Manufacturing growth roared ahead in March, and government job-market data due Friday are expected to show the first in a series of outsized monthly increases.

Biden’s plan to rebuild infrastructure strengthens the outlook, though questions remain about how much of it can actually be delivered. Investors for now are looking past worsening virus trends, such as Chile’s move to close its borders for April and a lockdown in France. They remain focused on inflation risk amid the economic rebound.

“Before you worry about inflation, there’s reflation and I think that’s the main theme in the market,” said Ed Campbell, fund manager and managing director at QMA.

Traders are braced for the U.S. jobs report, which could roil the bond market in a holiday-shortened trading session. Very strong data may push benchmark yields back toward a recent one-year peak of 1.77%.

The last thing this week before Easter is the U.S. employment report for March on Friday. Good Friday starts the Easter weekend (most markets closed) in countries including the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Australia and Canada.

April 1 (Reuters) – The S&P 500 on Thursday crossed the 4,000 mark for the first time, as technology shares, led by chipmakers, gained following an upbeat earnings outlook by Micron, while optimism about the U.S. economic growth lifted sentiment. Seven of the 11 S&P sectors rose, with technology and communication services gaining more than 1.5%. Increased vaccinations and massive fiscal stimulus are powering a recovery in the labor market, which helped investors shrug off latest data that showed a rise in the number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits last week. The closely-watched monthly jobs report on Friday could show U.S. economy added 647,000 jobs last month after February’s 379,000 rise. “The data continues to give confidence that the earnings are going to be revised higher,” said Larry Adam, chief investment officer at Raymond James. “April is usually a pretty good month for the market historically and I would expect that momentum to continue especially as we see the economy strengthen.” Micron Technology Inc advanced 4.8% after the chipmaker forecast fiscal third-quarter revenue above Wall Street estimates due to higher demand for memory chips, thanks to 5G smartphones and artificial intelligence software. U.S.-listed shares of rival Taiwan Semiconductor rose 3.8% on its plan to invest $100 billion over the next three years to meet the rising chip demand. The technology-heavy Nasdaq jumped 1.5% as “high flying” stocks including Amazon.com Inc, Apple Inc, Alphabet Inc, Microsoft Corp and Facebook Inc added between 1.1% and 2.3% after underperforming last month on concerns over elevated valuations. The S&P 500 had hit an intraday high on Wednesday as President Joe Biden unveiled a $2 trillion-plus plan to rebuild the world’s largest economy. Biden’s “American Jobs Plan” would put corporate America on the hook for the tab as the government creates millions of jobs building infrastructure, such as roads, tackles climate change and boosts human services like care for the elderly. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 2.89-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and a 3.20-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded 10 new 52-week highs and no new low, while the Nasdaq recorded 33 new highs and three new lows.  Nick Note: No human has been any clearer. In spits of a great disinformation campaign, record margin calls and economic bullshit campaign and threats against us. This is going to be the greatest TECH led stock market SHORT TERM Bull run in history. We traded it through the fastest 10% correction the NASDAQ has ever seen in the CFD account and booked close to a half a million in profits to show you how to do it. Now as you are seeing the wounds the investment banks inflicted on you are healing VERY quickly. As I have proven throughout my career. Just because they have trillion of dollars these guys are not omnipotent. In fact they are down right stupid. Mike Tyson in his prime was a monster. Like OJ Simpson supermen. SO!  Neither one of them could do a simple equation. Could they preform life saving surgery? Run into a burning building and save children? Make land produce food. Design and engineer living spaces. Cure disease or make people rich? Grow a business from nothing and provide jobs? Even care for the sick or raise someone else’s children. The contributions from the Gorillas were beating people up including girlfriends, rape, murder and massive drug use. Not capable of figuring the area of a cylinder. And ask them to write simple computer code for a laugh.. No more then guerrilla’s in a three piece suit. The people who populate the investment banks of the world are animals. Sneaky manipulative back stabbing criminals. Destroying wealth. Looting retirement funds, overvaluing shit companies and wiping out good ones with debt they will never pay back.  And as you will see in time they will destroy the global financial system creating a global depression with starvation and oppression the likes of which the world has never seen before. Mankind.. Womankind and LGBTkind for that matter will be reduced to savages eating their children to survive. Wall Street especially the investment banks are little more then street hoodlums in pin stripes. A different kind of Animal then the gorilla…..  A combination of a demon, changeling and snake in the grass comes to mind. You have been warned. Now lets precede to Phase II and organize ourselves as a group to do good and make  money. I think I have proven to you that I know how to take them on and can engage them successfully. And I know how to do good. The time has come both market wise and structure wise to begin our greatest endeavor ever together. Check your email and mail box. We will be in touch. And ring my phone 24/7. No waiting, no receptionist, no bullshit. Maybe a little raw at times but you will find the real thing at the end of the line. I defy you to show me anyone in finance qualified or not accessible to you DIRECTLY.  SHIT!! call your broker and after a 20 minute wait you will be lucky to get a desk clerk who cannot even tell you the margin rate…….. I thnkyou for being with me

Multiple media reports, as well as statements from at least two investment banks, put the Archegos Capital at the heart of a multi-billion sell-off on Wall Street.
