And that new, more contagious variant (BA.2), has already emerged and spreading.

I can hardly wait.....my Mom was absolutely right, every cloud has a silver lining!!!!

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to extrapolate the likelihood of more variants. Especially with ignorant people volunteering their bodies as breeding grounds.

Yes well since scientific consensus is the Covid mutated from the early SARS viruses then we have already seen it hi-jack DNA from its human victims and mutate itself twice already chances are that it can and will, even though it is NOT what we would call a "Sentient" Organism, continue to mutate probably endlessly or until science finds out it inherent weakness/s and we can turn those to our advantages against it.

Omicron could mutate into something that could be a killer like delta is.
