A Washington Post report revealed that the virus is a stable one and not mutating up or down. In essence its the same version in every country of the world. This means that its the same virus that has an 6% death rate in Italy and 0.6% death rate in Germany. Its clear evidence that health service collapse from a spike and forcing people to stay home with infected people is driving the high death rates. If we throw in all the unrecorded cases of CV19 the death rate falls again. It also means the vaccine could well be a one off for the rest of your life and not a new one every year like flu. We still have to make the vaccine though. I'm sure a DNA version will be ready for some by November. It has to be.
We may have a clearer picture on just how many people are infected in a country by data set to come out of South Korea, who do extensive testing.

Given how things are, that is something to be thankful for. Imagine something mutating

Viruses do mutate, which is why vaccines have to change to meet the mutations.
Incidentally, you are the result of countless DNA mutations over millions of years. It's called evolution!

@indexer That is what the post says. Are you negating it. Tell it to the one who post and not me. I'm just expressing my emotion about it.

@yoalldudes I was responding to your comment "Imagine something mutating", which I assume was meant to express a sense of horror that such a thing could happen.

they are also combating the disease well right now (Korea). we don't know about N. Korea but the rest of Asia seems to be pushing hard on this!

Asai was our firewall and has been expecting his outbreak and geared up for it but China allowed it to run for 6 weeks

@thedevilinme can hope that there are 4 weeks of bad left. but I don't know that for a fact.

This is what I have been asking myself actually. Because it would be a big worry if this virus mutates. Imagine if a vaccine is developed and then virus has already evolved then! Scary.
And I'm not sure if it has already been proven that once you got the virus and recovered, you'll never get it again.

@thedevilinme Recent news I heard there might be a cure. Crossing my fingers it is true.

@toniganzon When the financial reward is so high then there will be a cure twice as quick, if human testers can be found

I do not know but I hope that it is not that bad coming out of it. But there are already different strains coming out of it. Not sure which is which.

The scientists working on this will find out new things everyday. It is a new virus and we are all still learning.
