from the article:

"Health authorities found virus strains in humans and in mink which showed decreased sensitivity against antibodies, potentially lowering the efficacy of future vaccines, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said at a press conference."

“The mutated virus in mink may pose a risk to the effectiveness of a future vaccine,” Frederiksen said, adding that it “risks being spread from Denmark to other countries.”

Poor minks.

A much better/newer article in English here (Can we change to this link and title from a non-tabloid newspaper?):

https://www.berlingske.dk/nyheder/english-version-mink-cause...

"Mink causes new covid-mutation in humans – is Denmark the new Wuhan" :

"The virus mutation has so far been found to have spread to 12 individuals who have been found to have an impaired reaction to antibodies, which could mean that any future vaccine will not have the intended effect."

We are currently killing 17 million Mink to stop the spread, and starting "serious lockdown measures" in the local areas affected. But if 12 people already have this new version - it's probably all over the place already.

> Poor minks.

They lived in cages and were destined to be turned into fur coats.

I'm not disagreeing, just pointing out that their situation was already messed up to begin with.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, it sounds like we gave the minks COVID-19, the virus mutated and then the minks gave it back to the Danes. Yikes. I wonder what challenges we'll unlock on chapter 12 of Apocalypse 2020.

It has to be rage infected monkeys next.

At least a fur coat lasts longer than the 10 minutes of pleasure that eating meat gives you.

Meat provides a lot of nutrition.
