Yes, many things are theoretically possible. In relative terms Coronavirus isnt that mutagenic. Every year for many years millions of people get seasonal coronaviruses there hasn’t been a “morph” (whatever that means). The SARS and SARS/CoV-2 crossovers did come from somewhere and it was bats which are REALLY good at being virus incubators. We are not. I guess in the environment we all are now in I’d prefer a message not be spread of a seasonal cold turning into a deadly respiratory disease based on such an apparently unlikely hypothetical. Or Let’s worry about things like swine and avian flus, which are orders of magnitude better at “morphing” yet much of the population still refuses to vaccinate annually.
- vibrio 6y agoJust realized I got the original morph direction wrong. Please pardon.
