bionic 50,112 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Do variants even really matter? Don't variants become less deadly the more they mutate? OK its not great news that COVID as an entity is prolonged (and correct me if I'm wrong) but this isn't really the end of the world surely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Well i'd love to know if it's weaker or stronger, not in terms of transmittion but dangerosity of the virus to the body. If it's weaker, that's good news and I'll look forwar dto more and more variants if they get weaker and weaker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my speculation Im not saying it's the truth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no it's just in its nature to mutate but it can go both ways either more contagious or deadlier If it becomes deadlier it will not survive that long in the nature because its hosts will die before contaminating someone else If it becomes more contagious it is usually because it is less deadly In extremely rare cases a virus can become more contagious and deadlier at the same time but let's not talk about that haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
