Greater tolerance to climate extremes is what I’m seeing… and that there, is an adaptation/mutation in its own right!
Natural viruses can't do that and especially that fast... not even the most die-hard evolutionist could ever dream of such rapid adaptation to temperature extremes.
We found this to be the case last summer.
COVID had no problem spreading in hot warmer climates, even in summer time. This isn't like any other cold or flu virus.
And it could be that COVID is here to stay forever. In other words, we will never get rid of it. All we can do is come up with a vaccine one day like the flu vaccine.
I do not believe the current vaccines are anywhere near enough capable to deal with the problem. It will take 5 to 7 years to find a vaccine with the capability of current flu vaccines.
The current flu vaccines could reduce death yet. But the jury is still out on that. The only way we will find out is when a country reaches 100% vacccination and I am not talking about any country but a country like US, India, UK, Cyprus, Brazil, Russia who have a significant COVID issue.
Germany seems to be the vaccine benchmark atm. Let's see what happens there.
