#1 And become less violent.

#2 "In evolutionary biology, adaptive radiation is a process in which organisms diversify rapidly from an ancestral species into a multitude of new forms, particularly when a change in the environment makes new resources available, creates new challenges, or opens new environmental niches."

And become less violent.

The likelihood of infecting others is highest during the incubation period since the host is active and unaware.

Selection favors those variants that maximize the incubation period, ideally skipping the symptomatic period altogether.

Other questions:

Will current RNA and antibody tests identify all of these new variants?

Does an infection with one variant confer immunity to other variants?

Conversely does the diversity of Wuhan virus descendants who are immunologically similar but not identical play a role in triggering a catastrophic immune system overreaction?

#4 And become less violent.

Yep. In 5 years it will just be another seasonal flu.

#5 The likelihood of infecting others is highest during the incubation period since the host is active and unaware.

So 'White Privilege' is just a phase?
