This startling bit of news comes to us from Denmark, home to the world\u2019s largest center of mink farming. But they\u2019ll be losing that title shortly, at least for a while. Scientists there have found that the farm population of minks has become infected with a mutated version of the novel coronavirus. What\u2019s worse is that this strain is probably resistant to any vaccines currently in development. And to top it all off, the mutated virus has already made the jump to at least a dozen human beings. As a result, they\u2019re about to exterminate every mink in the country, numbering around 17 million of them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>&#8230;The medical community is trying to help keep people calm as they sort this out. Doctors in Denmark are saying that this mutation \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2020\/11\/05\/spread-of-mutated-coronavirus-in-danish-mink-hits-all-the-scary-buttons-but-fears-may-be-overblown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hits all the scary buttons<\/a>\u201d but it\u2019s not as terrible as it may sound. Okay, but it\u2019s still pretty bad. Let\u2019s consider that the virus didn\u2019t show up there until a little more than eight months ago, it\u2019s already made the jump from people to minks, mutated, and jumped back again. And the new mutation appears to be at least as contagious as the previous editions, if not more so. Add to that the belief that the vaccines we\u2019re all waiting for probably won\u2019t provide much protection and that sounds an awful lot like a bad situation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another pothole in the road that is 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hot Air posted an article today about a problem Denmark is having with minks.
