>Chinese researchers say 2 types of coronavirus could be infecting people
>The preliminary study, conducted by researchers from Peking University’s School of Life Sciences and the Institute Pasteur of Shanghai under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealed that the infection has evolved into two major types, designated L and S.
>The L type, which is more aggressive, was more prevalent during the early stages of the outbreak in Wuhan — the original epicenter of the virus — and accounted for about 70 percent of analyzed strains. About 30 percent of those strains were linked to the S type, considered less aggressive.
>The prevalence of the L type decreased after early January, researchers found.
>The S type, which is considered an older, “ancestral version” of the coronavirus, has become more common since then.
What effect might this have on the market? What if it splits into another strand?
