It’s been a while, it might be time for this to be mentioned again. Viruses mutate constantly, that’s what they do. But they mutate in the direction of being easier to transmit between hosts, and AWAY from lethality to that host. (It doesn’t do any good if you’re easier to transmit if your host dies before they CAN transmit you). So as long as COVID has been around, it’s been mutating to be tamer and tamer. It’s probably “common cold” like now. This isn’t the same COVID that killed a bunch of folks.
It never did "kill a bunch of folks."
Everybody who died, died of "COVID."
Right. I also wonder how many variants of variants of variants does it take to make it a whole new species. I’m sure there’s some virological rule or other for deciding that.
