For people (even many “experts”) who believe that SARS-CoV-2 is on some inexorable march towards more transmissibility and more severity, do you wonder if they ever ask why this is not the case with the flu and other common (disease-causing) viruses?

Because I wonder if they do think about this, even when it’s obvious that they really don’t.

One caveat: our vaccines, as great as they are, makes it more likely to push SARS2 into immunity escape configurations. But as I said, the virus is not infinitely adaptable. As all of us do, it has limits no matter what the experts are claiming now.
