CV and mad panic behaviour

[DJC]

Fly, when did you first read this article ?
Did you read it in July 2021 or yesterday ?

The article spends most of its time discussing the Alpha and Delta mutations and the research and study of them.
I ask because I was reading an abc article where they quoted the SA Dr as saying she detected the Omicron mutation in early November 2021 when some peoples symptoms weren’t “classic”
I’m of the belief that the weforum.org has rehashed the July article and basically added the first 3 paragraphs to provide an updated perspective of the changes and mutations of virus, in particular Covid.

It’s a downside of the digital age… the written word can mutate faster than any virus. ?

Yes, the version of the article with several sentences added to make reference to the omicron variant was published on 26 November 2021, shortly after the South African scientists identified the new variant.

Digital authors/publishers have a responsibility to maintain and explain version control.  Failure to do so means that the unwary disseminate fake news.
