The best would be to find a mutation that cannot jump from human to human .
Otherwise it could be dangerous if it mutates again to a more dangerous virus, even if not the original coronavirus (as you said we choose a mutation with a deletion).
- danieltillett 7y agoNo. A major part of the value would be the host to host transmission as it would get herd immunity into those people not directly given the virus. Only a transmissible virus strain can drive the pathogenic strains to extinction too. Large deletion mutations don’t back mutate in practice.
