Is the "Double mutation" from India dangerous?

Therefore, both vaccinated and those who have survived Covid 19 may also become infected with this variant of the virus, even more quickly.

The Indian variant of coronavirus B.1.617 shows two significant genetic changes in the surface protein: E484Q and L452R. These codes indicate the exact location of the genome change.

Individual mutations have been known for a while: E484Q is similar to the E484K variant, which appeared in the British, South African and Brazilian variants. And the L452R mutation can already be found in the California variant of CAL.20C.
However, in India, these two mutations are now appearing together for the first time, which is why there is often a reference of a "double mutant" to it.
"Double mutation" is not the only cause
The fact that both mutants occur together does not necessarily mean that this variant is twice as contagious or dangerous - that still remains to be investigated; so far there is simply not enough data.
In any case, the "double mutation" is just one of the reasons for the catastrophic situation within the Indian subcontinent. India, with its nearly 1.4 billion inhabitants, has more than 17 million confirmed infections, and the number of unreported cases is probably huge. Nearly 200,000 people died due to Covid19.
The biggest problem is that too many cases happen at the same time - up to 353,000 new infections were detected in one day - causing the health system to collapse, which was already deteriorated in many parts of the country.
National and local authorities have fought the pandemic half-heartedly for too long, easing restrictions very early on, allowing even mass religious manifestations to take place.
