Which part? I have already posted the preprint article that states their are at least two strains with one being more infectious. I don't think its questionable at this point that there is more than one strain. As for the differing functions that was why I used the word possible because that hasn't been proven yet.
Here is a study that points out there are at least 2 strains. They name L and S type.

Another preprint that suggests 30 different strains with some capable of producing higher viral loads than others (up to 270 times higher in some cases). Didn't we discuss a while back how a higher viral load leads to more severe disease? Chuck?
