that's deliberate propaganda that was pushed into media by certain groups.
Pff as if I'm blindly spouting conspiracies? That's just what I said based on my own very true knowledge that viruses mutate, and my own personal and current lived experience.
Airborne viruses tend to bounce around a certain strength. If too weak, you might not even cough and that reduces spreading. If too strong, you end up isolating or lying in bed, also reducing spreading.
It makes total evolutionary sense, then, to get weaker, and sometimes a bit stronger, always moving, changing - as all viruses do. All I was saying is 'presumably', based on my current condition, the reason that mine is weaker is because it's going through that process. Not because a government ad told me so.
Polio, ebola, small pox, rabbies
Different virus types have different mechanisms of transmission. A flu is an airborne virus, while rabies is through direct contact (bites etc). Polio through shit, and ebola through body fluids. Small pox through prolonged contact. Strength-based mutations might not be as effective in these cases, but something else such as incubation periods.
Rabies is so pervasive specifically because it learnt to incubate anywhere up to 6 years before kicking off, and the mechanisms of that are far beyond you or I's ability to understand.
Ebola has been mutating consistently, with a good 3% difference to the version that existed in the 70's, its just inherently less flexible a transmission method compared to airborne - the grandmaster of transmission methods.
I don't have all the answers obviously, and you have a lot of valid points, I just don't agree that I need to consider doing anything different to what I'm already doing. It's beyond my control, and not all that concerning when compared to the fact I'm breathing about 40 cigarettes a day via the polluted air, and eating gutter oil and plastic mashed into my food supply.
