The same is going on here. People turning up positive for a mutant Ed strain causing symptoms that aren’t even as bad as the flu.
So, the vaccine wouldn’t work on any mutated virus, correct?
Of course it will mutate. If the host dies before the virus the virus dies. If the host lives the virus can spread. Strong strains kill the host and they die. Weak strains don’t kill their host and live to infect. In this way the virus adapts and improves its ability to spread but decreases its lethality. Same with faster spreading. The strains that multiply quickly and spread sooner gain an advantage which selects towards quick spreading.
Liberals love Darwin and his laws of natural selection but they neither understand nor trust them. They really like the feeling of thinking they know how things work but they are not smart enough to really know how things work.

I’m scared. Not.
He has been roundly criticized for insisting that his small trial of hydroxychloroquine proved its effectiveness.

A responsible journalist might add a sentence mentioning HCQ’s proven successes for balance.
For those who don’t know, he is also an esteemed doctor in France, the equivalent or greater to Dr. Anthony Fauci. I think Fauci considers Raoult a competitor.
Here’s another difference, Dr. Raoult actually has patients, and teaches medicine to young doctors who are in training in med school. Fauci hasn’t seen a live patient since he graduated from med school over 40 years ago. Might even be 50 years ago by now.
I know who I hold in higher regard. It sure isn’t Andrew Cuomo’s childhood buddy.
So what? As in all viruses they burn themselves out
Fast moving less impact
This is pure Panic Porn
So one of the respected scientists who insisted that the virus was created in a LAB, also said that since it should not exist in nature that it would weaken and dissipate. This sounds like a confirmation of what that scientist said.
