There are THREE distinct strains of the novel coronavirus in the world and while china's epidemic was driven by an early mutation that quickly spread in the UK, the US is suffering from an original variation. Type A is closes to the one fond in bats and pangolins and has two sub-clusters. One sub-cluster linked to Wuhan and the other is common in US and Australia . Type B is derived from type A and has become the most prevalent in Wuhan. Type C is the 'daughter' of type B and was spread to Europe via Singapore. Three types of the deadly coronavirus are spreading around the world - and the US is being rocked by the original strain from China. Cambridge University researchers mapped the genetic history of the infection from December to March and found three distinct, but closely related, variants. Analysis of the strains showed type A - the original virus that jumped to humans from bats via pangolins - was not China's most common. Instead, the pandemi
