Why are scientists obsessed with the coronavirus G strain?
One of the big unknowns with coronavirus to date is how much it's mutating and how that could hurt the effectiveness of a vaccine. The worry is that by the time scientists have found a vaccine and tested it, the virus would have already changed rendering the vaccine ineffective. The dominant coronavirus strain is known as the "G strain", which has a mutation right where vaccines are targeting. So what does this mean for the rollout of a coronavirus vaccine? On today's show: * What has the CSIRO found regarding coronavirus' "G strain"? * Another study has found that antibodies can disappear after three months. What does this mean for longer term immunity? * NSW records more COVID cases than Victoria * An update from the White House. How is President Trump tracking?
