I had an "Aha!" Experience at dinner...
I know what this has felt like to me since the beginning: you know those movies where the train has been sent onto a track wherein there’s an oncoming train traveling at full speed and you’re just waiting for the cataclysmic collision.
I’ve been posting since the beginning in Wuhan that this looked bad...I was not alone by any means but I will say that I had real anxiety about this one because unlike Ebola or some other flu types, this is an insidious SOB.
From a literary point of view alone: it’s easily transmitted, it has a very long latency period wherein it’s transmissible, it doesn’t kill everyone, and so it can permeate a society which practices denial (can you think of one?), and it leaves long-lasting effects which may cause premature morbidity and mortality for many -this point hasn’t been discussed much in the MSM but is relatively horrifying and going to be a sort of post-polio syndrome later for many survivors. In addition, this virus seems to mutate rather easily and may mutate out of vaccine efficacy -we just don’t know what the endpoint is. This is A very significant and signal moment in mankind’s modern history. I for one have not felt this kind of anxiety in a very long time. And yet, I consider myself fortunate given my age and risk factors which are at least three. So far, so good.
We shall see....

non-peer reviewed, but it asserys that some 30 mutations have been identified, with some being more aggressive than others.
I agree with your concern for sure! 
Yes, they do.
