The Danish Mink COVID makes one of the two antibodies in REGN-COV2 ineffective.
luckily, it has not been seen in human cases.
No selection pressure for this mutation to pervade in new COVID19 cases. so REGN Ab cocktail is still useful for the next 6-8 months.

more sophisticated Ab cocktails are probably needed 1 year from now. There will be an ongoing evolution of new antibodies and new vaccines in response to new mutations.
We definitely need more on-going genetic sequencing of new COVID cases.

In the mean time, anything that makes COVID milder helps us get through this pre-vaccine, pre-Ab period:
PPE, personal hygiene, supplements.

Typo galore.
The Danish Mink strain is not evading REGN-COV2.
The Dutch Mink strain is. But Dutch government has already closed down Dutch mink farms in the summer.
