Question for virologists on here.

We know these diseases are capable of mutating to preserve their existence.

What if a vaccine is found but Mr Covid-19 mutates into something more deadly to preserve its miserable existence ? Is there a hidden danger in a vaccine ?

So no lorries, planes and ships with goods in ?
Of course not, Al. Taiwan effectively and safely manages huge daily freight traffic from China, they're dependent on it. We should ask their advice.

Covert community immunity opportunity.
Yes, but that would completely contradict pretty much everything else they're doing.

Not an expert, but sometimes viruses mutate into something benign to survive.

I thought Mr Covid could travel on hard surfaces. Open up every container and sanitise it ?

I think you are looking for a unicorn in Utopia here.

I think that was the initial policy.

Consider all the recurring major faux pas throughout - do you really believe they are THAT incompetent ? They have to be seen to be mitigating disease spread.

PS 10pm curfew = house/street parties.

No, I suggested we learn from the Taiwanese not look for a unicorn.

Yep, maybe in March. But we've had 6 months in between.
