"But it is plausible that one strain could mutate to the point where people with antibodies to an older strain are no longer immune to it."

The scientists discovered 12 strains of the killer bug, one of which has only ever been found in Britain suggesting it mutated on UK soil

We have to stay shutdown until we get twelve vaccines.

If they are mutating that much, that fast, even a vaccine isn’t going to be very useful. And if they do indeed mutate to the point where one strain won’t protect you from the others, we may have to simply learn to live with coronavirus the way we do cancer: one of those ways you might die. Like cancer, only way faster.

Too funny... Just saw another report stating a new CV19 strain is more deadly than previous one.

Well...the other thought is that with this rapid mutation it is possible the virus burns itself out. The virus is mutating because the human isn’t the optimum host for the virus. It is doing this without humans even doing more than prophylactic care in most cases. So the question would be why? And the only conclusion I can justify is because we’re the wrong type of host.

So instead of mutating into Dos Equis or another Mexican beer it mutated into Guinness Stout.
