If I can change he topic for a second
mutations:
With the soon to be out of control spread of delta around the world is there any chance we have a mutation that makes it more contagious, so that it becomes the dominant strain, while being significantly less deadly?
If so is this statistically less likley to happen then a mutation that makes things worse?
Viruses are going to naturally select to be more contagious and to kill more slowly. I virus that kills a lot of people 24 hours after infection will not get a good chance to spread.
