Thank you as always for calling this out and correcting the record, @profvrr. The amount of misinformation being spread by noted science journalists and some virologists who DEFINITELY know better is aggravating and irresponsible.
Chinese National Health Commission Vice Minister says that the Wuhan coronavirus 'could mutate', the press picks it up and blindly transmits it. Viruses mutate with every replication cycle; the question is whether the changes have any consequence. Happens with every new outbreak.pic.twitter.com/rf1IajWTUQ

Agreed. A few of us were trying to track down where the source material was for this because of the potential ramifications

Blind Transmission by the press is a poorly designed/controlled experiment.

Sigh. We were talking about that today. I was like... It's a virus, that's obvious.

Sometimes I worry more about misinformation spread than virus spread.

Is it possible then for nCov2019 to mutate and become less virulent soon enough since Wuhan borders are closed, as viruses generally aim not to be virulent? Also, does this mean that there is a possibility that this threat could die down to the level of a common cold? Curious.
