One item that is encouraging – the re-infection rate is still very, very low. That implies the immune response to any variant is effective against all others.
Actually, it is likely to evolve into something less lethal. Killing off your hosts is not a survival strategy. A disease vector is generally the most lethal in the generations immediately after making the jump to humans. But you stoke the fear and anxiety, guys.

Wait… don’t creationists insist that there’s no new life? …that it’s all been here for the last 6000 yrs or so?

“Jumped from bats to humans”. Do they know that for sure or is that just another theory someone threw out there?
