and no, it is more contagious and the Lanoda variant has already spun off and at this point, they think it will be more resistant to the vaccine. The City of Austin issued a Civil Alert today. This thing is not over.



These things mutate constantly. I think identified 30 different strains in the first month alone. I'm sure it mutates that many times per day at this point.

It will get more contagious and less deadly as time goes on. That's just the way nature works.

Your understanding of mutations disagrees with Dr Fauci and WHO.  Oddly, I was surprised to find statements by Dr Fauci and WHO which stated today that as long as this virus is mutating it is possible for it to become more bothersome, contagious, and vaccine-resistant, Life instinctively fights to survive and mutations over time can help it achieve that goal by making it stronger. The longer this pandemic is active the more dangerous it becomes, We need to turn it into an endemic which is significantly more manageable.

And you are talking about the named variants. Mutations do not always affect the DNA in any meaningful way. They name the variants if the DNA has changed in a way it is of concern.
