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

Well, the first explanation is maybe there were no herd inmunity

they estimated seroprevalence at 76% 8 months ago. it could be that the immunity declines over that timespan or that it evades immunity, but this has to be combined with the fact that the mutation modifies the spike proteins and the vaccines are showing reduced effectiveness

1.- is not sure the percentage 2.- it’s been said, a year ago, that this C19 would become seasonal, like respiratory illnesses, like flu... 3.- a really bad illness was the Spanish flu; take a look to the data.

Replying to @angeluisfc @BuenoEnfurecido and
a disease like this becoming endemic and seasonal is a disaster for humanity. it is harder to control than the flu and is baseline, probably, more infectious / deadly. yes it may not mutate as much per infection but we are giving it far to many chances to do so.

I’m sorry, you are far from reasonable I suggest u to check the first info published last year at the beginning of this situation Our grandparents would have give thanks for having to cope with this illness. It was a pleasure, really. I have to stop Careful with what u read

I'm not being unreasonable, I just disagree with you.
