According to Google Translate, in Italian, "potenza" means strength, ..., potency I wonder if the doctors in the article used this word to describe the loss of potency, but the media and translators are equivocating this to mean "strength" (which is a more intrinsic quality, and suggests a mutation). My first guess was that because summer is starting, people are getting more Vitamin D, and this is making the virus less effective. Alternatively (as others have stated in this topic), the virus could mutate to spread more effectively but lose its strength on individual people, and this would still be considered an evolutionary advantage.
