1. I absolutely hate the chatty style when it's used to spread the description of a js API over many tedious pages, let alone when it's used for a scientific subject like this one.
2. >SARS CoV2 has a stable genome, its genetics change very slowly.
Is such a misrepresentation it is basically untrue. Coronaviruses are (+)ssRNA viruses, which are not the very fastest-mutating RNA viruses, but mutate much faster than DNA viruses.

We don't need to invoke other mechanisms to explain why Covid mutates rapidly. As soon as it was found to be a coronavirus, that fact was already known.
