What's a few deaths anyway; it'll just be "old" people. (I'm being extremely sarcastic)

Of course, this assumes that those who are infected will actually build up an immunity (and the virus won't mutate nullifying that immunity). Nothing like being used as some type of sick science experiment (by those who disregard scientific opinion in the first place).

It's just a single strand of RNA and - just like the common cold - is very prone to mutating, so we can get it over and over again over a period of time.

Just as there are far more ways for a virus to avoid current antibodies than to run afoul of pre-existing ones.

Mutations favor re-infection. Mutations favor mild.

We live in a probabilistic universe. Hail Entropy!

But I would like to know the logic behind 'mutations favor mild.' I am not disputing it particularly. But it seems to me that mutations - being random - could have many different impacts on the infectioousness and/or lethality of the virus, and whatever makes it more able to survive to reproduce is what will endure.

Some (many) will die, but the rest will develop heard immunity (hopefully). Seems immunity doesn't last long with this coronavirus.

The irresponsible lout.
