Joe.....the virus can only mutate weaker. They never mutate stronger. That's just science.
@Joe
That claim is inaccurate, do not believe the "scientists" and "clinicians" at Bastard Factory. Mutations are random. There is natural selection pressure to become more contagious and less virulent (think common cold) so that the virus doesn't kill its host (in our case us) before spreading. But because it's not a linear process and is far more complex, do not rely on what faux scientists say. Read up on it yourself. Ask a physician.
"Many viruses have evolved to become deadlier
Victory claims no virus has ever become more deadly over time, but experts say that's not the case.
"The statement that 'in the history of virology, there has never, ever, been a viral mutation that resulted in a virus that was more lethal' appears to be quite untrue," , virologist and assistant professor for the Gillings School of Global Public Health of the University of North Carolina, told USA TODAY.
Sheahan pointed to several examples such as the Ebola virus, which was that not only made it more transmissible but likely more infective. This variant eventually died when the epidemic ended in 2016. The West Nile virus into a highly virulent strain, killing crows on multiple continents.
The 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, , is another example, said Chua."
I think once again the authorities under pressure from big business are letting their guard down too soon.
It seems a bit rash & premature to end mandates while Omicron is still prevent spreading & people are dying from it. They ought to at least wait til the spring.
Omicron seems worse than the flu or common cold.
But things being what they are, we let big business run our social & health policies now.
Given the way they're running things it can only get worse now before it gets better.
Omicron isn't as virulent as the variants that came before it. I think it's more virulent than the flu, but most people are going to be able to fight it off.
