Coronavirus mutations: Much ado about nothing - CNNA recent scientific article suggested that the novel coronavirus responsible for the Covid-19 epidemic has mutated into a more "aggressive" form. Is this something we need to worry about? No, and here's why.
Yes, the new coronavirus is mutating—but that’s not a bad thing | Popular ScienceThe odds of the virus mutating in such a way that it actually becomes more lethal or contagious over the timescale of weeks, months, or even a couple years aren’t very high.
The Viral ‘Study’ About Runners Spreading Coronavirus Is Not Actually a Study - VICE
To balance that post about runners'/bikers' slipstream.
The idea that it can mutate into many different strains and become as common as flu. We get flu vaccines yearly because the vaccine you had this year cannot make you immune to the other new strains that come out. And this is deadlier than flu. But i also read somewhere mabagal daw mag mutate ang sars cov 2.

imo SARSCOV2 is already at its most efficient form
it's highly contagious, has long incubation period, can be transmitted during asymptomatic phase, doesn't kill all its hosts
in terms of reproductive success it gets a score of 100
it's so successful it went global
unlike its cousins SARS classic and MERS-CoV
SARSCOV2 is already perfect
if it mutates it might end up less efficient
why is a virus not successful if it's too deadly?
coz it quickly runs out of hosts and doesn't spread very far
like ebola
Bill Gates favors PCR based mass testing but with quicker results than serological tests (rapid antibody test)
Bill Gates: '''We'''re in big trouble''' until the U.S. has better coronavirus testing“The PCR test ... that is the key to tracing contacts and really getting people to go into serious quarantine,” Gates said, adding that a serological test “only goes positive after you've infected most everyone you're going to infect.”
He continued: “Any time the queue [for testing] is over 24 hours, that's complete mismanagement. Because the value of the result is far less worthwhile when you're not getting it very, very quickly. The best case is the PCR test goes positive before you're symptomatic or infectious and then you can act in such a way that you never infect anyone else.”
from Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in the US
Anthony Fauci says people who recover from the coronavirus should be immune through at least September. But some scientists worry that not all patients develop antibodies. | Business InsiderDr. Anthony Fauci says people who recover from the coronavirus will likely be immune should a second wave of infection spread in the early fall.
He explained that because the virus has not mutated much, people who develop immunity will likely maintain it at least for the next few months.
Preliminary studies about coronavirus immunity and antibodies have shown that most, but not all, recovered patients develop antibodies.
Californians may have developed some herd immunity to coronavirus last year, Stanford team theorizes
Sa dami ng chinese na pumupunta dito and considering the population we have and the current cases, na immune na rin kaya tayo before the outbreak happened, undetected lang?"When you look at other states, it doesn't quite explain completely why California has been more fortunate, especially when it should be the least fortunate," said Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow with the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.
The state had a significant amount of travel to and from China last year - some 8,000 Chinese visitors a day at California's airports. Wuhan, China is considered the origin point of the novel coronavirus. It first came to public attention there in December 2019, but researchers are looking at whether it had been around much earlier than that.
"Something is going on that we haven't quite found out yet," Hanson said. "When you calculate as well there were people on direct flights, from San Francisco and LAX to Wuhan, ground zero of the outbreak, you'd be naive not to think the California population wasn't exposed."
Where's the best place to get stuck in the quarantine? Maldives, you might say. But this couple had to live through that experience, and "being stuck in paradise" didn't seem as fun as it sounded.

Isn't mutation is just word for an individual evolution. And evolution doesn't work that way. Kung sino man na reproduction ng virus na weak would be killed by the immune system. Ang matitira lang eh yung makaka survive sa immune system. So there will be now way for the weak offsprings of virus to produce more weak virus. The only offsprings that'll be able to reproduce eh yong naka survive, hence it will evolve into something stronger.
