There is a growing suspicion that surge of virus in India is due to it being tweaked by enemy to destabilise the economy, overwhelm the health system and cause slow and massive human casualties.
Consider the scenario with military disturbances on borders that enhances the sinister purpose. There is a strong rumour that virulent strain it is deliberately spread as a biological weapon through boarders or imports or through clandestine human influx.
Is it due to unpreparedness, letting guard down, complacency or as the results of elections, festivals and not observing SOPs?
Though the virus is not alive, viruses mutate regularly and evolve similar to living things. Mutation is a part of life cycle and produce new variants all the time.
New variants are likely to be more lethal with transmissibility. Mutations help to bind easily with host cell and confuse the immune system.
Corona viruses have lower mutations rate than RNA viruses as the replication of virus is checked due to herd immunity, antibodies in the system, the mutations will seek newer and more vulnerable targets and that is why there is lurking fear that third wave may hit the younger, vulnerable group of children.
Hence it is clear that virulent mutant strain is not tweaked to wreck havoc as it is perceived but it is in its RNA to propagate easily by mutations route for its survival.
