[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Virus mutating into a less virulent form is the theory now for densely populated areas.  That jibes with the fact that most of these places are experiencing an inverse relationship b/w cases and hosptializations (i.e. cases going up but hospitalizations are going down).  There are pockets in the US, though, where this is not occurring (AZ, etc)[/quote]

No it's not true. There's no evidence for this. If anything the virus looks more dangerous than previously thought. It's not a simple respiratory virus, it's a virus that can attack multiple organs, including the brain.

All those people who've "only" lost their sense of taste and smell? That shows neurological involvement. I wouldn't rush out and try to get infected as no one knows the long-term effects of infection.

The theory comes from the factual evidence that this is how many other viruses, to included coronavirus, have mutated. If you think of the ‘goal’ of a virus it is to get you to walk around and infect a lot of other people. So it doesn’t make sense for it to render you immobile and quickly kill you. When it jumped from animals to humans, it wasn’t primed for humans, so naturally it would acclimate you a new host by mutating into a less deadly virus. Unfortunately or fortunately, however you want to look at it, the virus doesn’t seem to be mutating that quickly, so it’s likely a vaccine will be more effective than, say, the flu vaccine any given year.
