New variants seem scary. Mutations obey laws of biology that make them less frightening than the media & leaders would like. No time for more than this: Corona is tame compared to a diabolical mutating virus called Influenza. We survive new flu each year, so fear not Covid19.https://twitter.com/DanielleFong/status/1356811341953138691 …

Which goes to show expertise in "complex systems", even at the Nobel prize level, has been proven useless for evolutionary biology this last year.

it is weird that this isn’t apparent to him, maybe he doesn’t want to see it. it’s an insight from complex systems

Presymptomatic spread is also "a thing" with influenza. Historically, however, despite this, new influenza mutations most always have tended to head in the direction of lower lethality. I don't believe we have adequate data at this point to claim increased lethality for B.1.1.7.

Well, that's certainly not terrifying or anything. Thanks for the nightmare fodder, Danielle!

"Realistic possibility" does not equal "probably". You are scaremongering from pure guesswork. Why would you do that?
-
the example, if you believe the interpretation, shows this is not an idle possibility; it happened. the assumption that it will grow to be less lethal is an overgeneralization of a ‘law’ that is indeed only a tendency
