Many countries are facing either full or partial lockdown. Vaccination is being distributed in many countries at a maximum pace, yet it seems like the spread’s speed is faster than vaccination delivery.
In India, the situation was never under control, but for the last few months, it’s getting worst. India has lost 195,000 precious lives out of 17 Million total patients. India has put lockdown since last year with strict compliance, But everywhere in India, everyone is feeling virus’s terror.

Double Mutation Covid:
In March 2021, A unique variant of Covid, Called B.1.167, was first discovered in India with two mutations and was considered behind the deadliest second wave of Covid. B.1.167 contains two mutations named E484Q and L452R. According to biologist, mutation some time causes the weakness of virus but sometimes make it strong making it bigger danger and boosting it spread and increasing death rates.
On the other hand, India always denied that the second kind of virus belongs to its land. Even the Indian Govt claimed that this kind of virus had been seen in different countries at different places.

At the moment, Too much information is not available about this variant and it makes it more dangerous and fatal But keeping in view the previous situation it can be forecasted that Triple mutation Covid won’t be an easy task to handle.
The world is seeing Triple mutation as a new threat to mankind, and some biologists even expressed that current vaccination would not be able to fight this unique kind of virus. Preconditions are circulating that Triple mutation covid is more infectious and more lethal in terms of destroying the human’s lungs.
