That’s an ugly mutation. Hate to think the bugs are going to win a round against us. How long will it take for our immune system to adapt to this one when we get drugs to kill the bugs for us?

I can't think of any drugs that kill bacteria or viruses off the top of my head. The drugs we have just interfere with some part of their biology. You need intact immune systems to literally kill them off, at least that's what I was taught.
