More infectious coronavirus mutation may be 'a good thing', says disease expert

More infectious coronavirus mutation may be 'a good thing', says disease expert "Maybe that's a good thing to have a virus that is more infectious but less deadly," Tambyah told Reuters. Tambyah said most viruses tend to become less virulent as they mutate. "It is in the virus' interest to infect more people but not to kill them because a virus depends on the host for food and for shelter," he said. https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
