I'm going to sound like "it's just the flu" guy, and I hate that. I hate it so much. Humans are terrifying apex predators. We're not great at flu vaccinations.

I'm going to sound like "it's just the flu" guy, and I hate that. I hate it so much. Humans are terrifying apex predators. We're not great at flu vaccinations. But we're good enough to continue to be apex predators. I'm not a doctor, I'm absolutely not your doctor. mutation isn't free. It's tough to maintain infection rate when we're hunting. Mutate, to hide, for sure. The virus wins in a few ways, but we'll find that and turn it into a cold. The virus will get lots of chances to kill us all off. Actually, I have some risk factors and my chances aren't great. I'm an example human, but not the paragon human. Anyway, perhaps wishful thinking. Mutation rates are scary, but disrupting a couple of factors is probably enough. If it's infectious but non-fatal, who cares? If it's fatal but can't transmit, who cares? Mutate. go nuts. just get away from this local optimum that is infectious and fatal.
