The point is the more people is infected and overcome the virus, the less transmissible it is, or the less harm it makes.
Remember: all that measures aim to avoid the collapse of the HealthCare System, just that.
BTW, these measures wasn't recommended by the @CDCgov

no, that’s a completely separate effect, and furthermore, the more infections, the more chances it has to mutate

Mutations doesn’t mean more or less infective or lethal, just to be accurate

Replying to @angeluisfc @dhoze1 and
sure, but when mutations sum up to something acting differently it’s called a variant, that’s what we are discussing

Norovirus, influenza, adenovirus, rinovirus, measles, chickenpox, coronavirus... Have been replicating hundreds of years, to levels orders of magnitude greater than C19. After all of that (some of them with larger R) they are essentially the SAME virus to this day.

some of the viruses we have already defeated are / were super terrible, like smallpox and polio. flu changes a lot. the p.1 variant in brazil has a vastly higher attack rate and evades prior immunity.

Could you let me see the study about the p.1 variant in Brazil? I assume u refer to C19

Replying to @angeluisfc @BuenoEnfurecido and
unfortunately because the brazilian government has underprioritized the effort against covid there are a limited number of studies for the brazilian variant, so there's not as much good science as you would like this is a decent survey not too out of datehttps://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/what-we-know-about-the-p1-variant-of-the-coronavirus.html …

the most compelling piece of anecdata i've heard comes from an interview with contact tracers working in Manaus, heard over the BBC World Service. "previously, we would contact trace people, and of 3 contacts maybe one would get the disease, now it is *everybody"

So, there’s no scientific evidence of neither the variant is more lethal nor more transmissible Article citing people and a BBC interview That’s far from serious from any newspaper or radio But just a point:pic.twitter.com/ma8edKmEF7

no, there is a lot of anecdotal and circumstantial evidence, and increasing amount of scientific evidence. the evidence of higher transmissibility of some variants, the more recent B.1.1.7 variants in the UK, the P.1. Variant in Brazil, is pretty clear evidence for D614G moreso

I’m sorry but there is NO certainty about the higher transmissibility of the UK variant That has been explained many times: NO CERTAINTY Look at the situation in UK. You are free to read whatever u want, but it takes time before reach a scientific evidence.

during lockdown covid cases fell in most areas of the UK but rose in areas like the south east and london where the B.1.1.7 variant took over. this variant then grew to dominate new infections in canada, an outbreak in was associated with a 99+% attack rate. >10x viral particles
