    Is SARS-CoV-2 mutating to be less lethal? @TheLancet says so https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31757-8/fulltext …. Was told this happens by the virologist friends I still had in March. It is what coronavirus viruses do when they have enough cycles of reproduction.  Lock down impedes this natural weakening.pic.twitter.com/0xLVdXRNap

        The Lancet hasn’t been to reliable on fair reporting, so this a bit surprising.

        I suspect that some variolation is also occurring. Some people who got small non-infectious doses early may have had immune responses that lifted the threshold. I've seen some people say maybe 90-95% of cases are now asymptomatic, which might be a combination of these effects.

        "Between Jan 21 and March 20...." Thanks for the fantastic insight that viruses mutate, and that this one isn't unique. Your conclusion at the end doesn't follow - you don't even attempt to explain. This is disgraceful - and this is how you deserve to be remembered, not NP2013

        I am still in pursuit of an answer to New York City's high case fatality rate. It has been suggested that they got the "Northern Italy strain" - it seems far-fetched as an explanation, but has this already been addressed?

        There’s already multiple strains.. Some are probably less virulent than others, But it doesn’t matter unless one becomes the dominant strain, pushing out the others

        Viral pathogens are never simultaneously virulent AND highly transmissible. Notice nothing in the top right. It goes against the very principles of evolution. And the tendency as they mutate is for transmissibility to prevail, for obvious reasons.pic.twitter.com/FNPeSw2mXj

        I think that's a dumb way of reasoning. If there was a measles with 80 percent death rate, humans would be eradicated and nobody could do this statistic. Therefore our existence is the reason/result of the non-existance not some underlying biological principle
