LONDON—A genetic study of samples from more than 7,500 people infected with COVID-19 suggests the CCP virus spread quickly around the world after it emerged in China sometime between October and December last year, scientists said on May 6.
Scientists at University College London’s Genetics Institute found almost 200 recurrent genetic mutations of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus—SARS-CoV-2—which the UCL researchers said showed how it is adapting to its human hosts as it spreads.
