What happens when it mutates like influenza and colds do? Kill our nation for good?

That's the $64,000 question, isn't it?

Three "pandemic wave scenarios" were published yesterday and reported here earlier today. These guys think it will be with us a LONG time at different intensities and different geographies. Fortunately these viruses tend to mutate toward less and less lethality (if I understand the literature correctly).

They compared Scenario 2 to the 1918 Influenza pandemic. From what I've read, the big fall surge in 1918 was largely driven by troops returning from Europe, so (hopefully) that won't apply in 2020.

Well we already have a number of stains out there. A vaccine can only work against one strain that is why flu shots only lower the incidence of flu.
