Original:

(CNN)--A recent scientific article suggested that the novel coronavirus responsible for the
Covid-19 epidemic has mutated into a more "aggressive" form. Is this something we need to
worry about? No, and here's why.

The first claim that the coronavirus is mutating is actually true, and it's perfectly fine! Before you
rage-close your browser, hear us out. We get that the word "mutation" is bandied about in
popular culture to denote a dramatic and fundamental change in a living being. After all,
mutation-inducing toxic waste in the sewers of New York City transformed benign adolescent
reptiles into crime-fighting teenage turtles. However, fictional portrayals of mutation are simply
that: fictional. The effects of mutation in real life are nuanced and generally innocuous. Using
the idea of mutation to incite fear is harmful, especially in the midst of an epidemic like Covid-
19.

Paraphrasing:

The novel coronavirus which cause Covid-19 epidemic was identified by the updated latest
article that it has been transformed into an increasingly “forceful” structure. Do we need to worry
about this? No, and here’s the reason.

The main case that the coronavirus is transforming is in reality evident, and it’s completely fine!
Listen to us first, before you rage-close your page. We receive that the word “transformation” is
bandied about in mainstream society to signify a dramatic and as a key change in this life being.
After that, transformation-prompting poisonous waste in the sewers of New York City changed
docile juvenile reptiles into crime-battling teenage turtles.

In any case, fantasy of transformation are essentially that: delusion. The impacts of
transformation in reality, are nuanced and harmless as common. Utilizing the concept of
transformation to provoke dread is nasty, particularly amidst a scourge like Covid-19.
