   Nice! If you add a dark background inline style to the html root element, you get rid of the white background lurking from behind when pulling down. The white is blinding.

    ah, I see. If you mean looking at the molecule's behaviour rather than the at molecule itself, we agree. I didn't mean evolutionary biology but the evolution of the virus, it's adaption to the host and change over time.

    > more deadly than what? If age < 60, e.g. car accidents are orders of magnitude more deadly in my county here. There are just no (= 0) fatalities < 40 years here. So even swallowing hammers is equally or more deadly in that group.

    I found it quite striking, that while infections here are balanced through age groups, fatalities are only 60+ and mostly 80+. e.g. seen on the "Dashboard" on rki.de, chart "COVID-19 cases by age group and sex". Stats in
