India s triple mutant variant: Should you be worried?
The triple mutant variant of Covid, E484K, has been emerging among cases in India amid a record spike in cases.
According to India Today, the so-called Bengal strain was first found in West Bengal but has been found in samples from Delhi and Maharashtra as well.

triple mutant variant Bengal strain covid19
Covid-19 transmission in India is exploding at a rate unseen anywhere in the world so far. On Thursday, the country reported 3.14 lakh new cases, the highest single-day count for any country ever, and deaths too are mounting every hour.
Amid this, a new variant of the virus causing Covid-19 has been detected in West Bengal.
The triple mutant variant (also being referred to as the Bengal strain of Covid-19) is reportedly more infectious than other strains. ....

As India faces a turbulent time handling increasingly new COVID-19 cases, news has emerged about a new lineage (B.1.618), which is being colloquially called the Bengal strain .
According to a report by TOI s Subhro Niyogi, experts say that this lineage may be capable of escaping a person’s immune surveillance, even if that person was earlier exposed to a virus without this lineage, and even if vaccinated. There has, however, been no research yet to either corroborate or dismiss the fears.
Incidentally, the double mutant type (B.1.617) was only reported last month.
“The proportion of B.1.618 has been growing significantly in recent months in Bengal,” said Vinod Scaria, who researches genome mutations at the CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB) on Twitter, adding, “along with B.1.617 it forms a major lineage in West Bengal”. ....
