...they have been able to map 40 distinct versions of covid-19 on Iceland alone.

This coming out just now...
A genetics firm in Iceland has been very diligent in mapping their findings when testing people on Iceland for Corona.
Apperently they have been able to map 40 distinct versions of covid-19 on Iceland alone.
They have also succeeded in following the infection chain and found that the original spread started from three seperate clusters:
England, Austria and Italy.
This ofcourse also means finding a vaccine is going to be near impossible.... good luck folks.
Things just got very real.

I won't probably get the vaccine anyway. I would rather get the disease and have my immune system analyze how to kill it which will lead to it always just being another minor pain in the butt bug I have to deal with every year.

Can you imagine early America with all the different out breaks of diseases how they must of felt when they quarantined entire towns.

All viruses do this. Viruses evolve quite quickly by random variations and natural selection. Novel viruses like this Coronavirus almost always evolve in the direction of being less deadly once they are introduced into the population. That’s because viruses need hosts and if they kill the hosts quickly, they don’t get a chance to propagate.
The people who design anti viral drugs and vaccines know this, so they choose characteristics of the virus that can’t change and design the drugs to attack those characteristics.
This article does not contain any bad news.

No, the wet market where the Chinese Lab employees sold the test animals to for a quick buck.

Can we stop pretending it's just a bad flu, or a conspiracy to enact martial law?
If you remove China's forged stats, and look at recovery vs mortality rates of everywhere else in the world combined, its got like a 40% kill rate.
