If covid will mutate like flu, every year, this will be the end of human race in maximum half a century - given if the symptoms/damage to our body stays the same regardless of mutations. My take is that our immune system will actually "mutate" as well so we might be, in couple of centuries, in same position as we are now vs. flu (the mortality rate will be insignificant).
- samatman 7y agoApologies for my directness, but no way around it: this is completely unhinged. Humanity has dealt with double-digit-fatal diseases, several of them, for centuries. SARS2 is an ugly bug, but hardly an existential threat to the species.
- unnouinceput 7y agoI said "if", didn't I? Also my prediction is the same as what you said, but in different words.
