July 31, 20214 yr Popular Post Apparently there was a realistic chance of me winning the UK lottery, I now know better. ON a brighter note hopefully most of those 1 in 3 will be the doom mongers , then the rest of us can get on with our lives.

July 31, 20214 yr Popular Post Viruses are not known to mutate to be more deadly and the ones that do are not successful in spreading/being dominant if they'd kill 1/3 of their hosts.
July 31, 20214 yr Sure there is a chance , there's also a chance of a zombie virus emerging , or alien invasion next week . Ebola is/was very deadly , and there was a massive outbreak few years ago . If they do find a disease like this , meaning killing so many , then you didn't see a lockdown just yet , and thew measures taken will be extremely dramatic , and they will succeed . In order of a successful virus , HIV comes close to perfection only lacking 1 thing which is that it is difficult to transmit . Should it have been a airborne virus , then we would have been in large problem since it can be undetected for soo long . The most successful virus in real is not deadly at all , it's like common colds , since basically nobody cares and it doesn;t kill the host . Good for the virus since it can reproduce itself , no problem for us so we don't hunt it down . Everybody can download the virus game Plague Inc , i played it a few times long time before ( before it was such a big hit because of covid ) . There it is very easy to kill everybody on the planet , make it undetectable , spread easy and when enough people are infected let it mutate to symptoms and death , done . btw , common colds are many times corona virus , covid will 1 day be like that also , and yes there is a 1 in a million chance that it develops to superkiller .

Actually, the real risk... is "recombination". Coronaviruses are known to love "recombination" (it means mixing with other viruses). https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/JVI.01394-09 "Coronaviruses have demonstrated a marked capacity to employ homologous recombination, a process by which viruses exchange genetic material in the context of a coinfection" This event is "rare" (because when the Sars-Cov infects the host, another virus must be there at the same time)... but it's possible and coronaviruses have this ability. Furthermore : -the more people are infected in the world -the more we vaccinate people (pressuring the virus evolution, its mutations in order to evade and multiply) ... the more likely, we could see a "recombination" event... that could lead to this famous "super variant/super killer".
