Two separate types of the novel coronavirus — one more aggressive than the other — could be infecting people during the sweeping outbreak, Chinese scientists revealed in a new study.

The preliminary study, conducted by researchers from Peking University’s School of Life Sciences and the Institute Pasteur of Shanghai, 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.

The researchers explained that this could have to do with the rush to treat patients infected with the L type virus, whose symptoms are far easier to detect than the weaker, milder S type.

More needs to be done to ensure that even the weaker type is detected as soon as possible, to minimize its spread, the scientists said.

“Ancestral version” sounds like Chromatica track 8

Get the pinot ready, because it's turtle time.
