Every virus mutates; it’s part of the virus life cycle. Those shifts and changes aren’t always a big deal.
The new coronavirus is an RNA virus: a collection of genetic material packed inside a protein shell.
RNA viruses, like the flu and measles, are more prone to changes and mutations compared with DNA viruses, such as herpes, smallpox, and human papillomavirus (HPV).
Though there’s the very rare chance a virus could mutate to be more aggressive, if anything, RNA viruses are more likely to mutate into a weaker version.

Patriot, great points, and another example of them claiming to listen to the science while they totally ignore the science.
