I really don't understand this...the WHO has a test for this that only takes a few hours. Apparently the US isn't using it. Wtf is that all about?I just hope it doesn't mutate into something more deadly...
My nephew, who is in the Army, arrived back in the country this weekend after serving a year in Afghanistan...They are keeping him and those who flew back with him in quarantine for 2 weeks before he's allowed to come home...So he's currently at Fort Bragg in quarantine...

Yes it'll mutate, but no - it's unlikely to mutate into something more deadly. The common cold has been mutating for thousands of years, every year, and yet it's still just an annoyance. The most lethal threats are the ones that suddenly jump species, like this virus did - we have no herd immunity to them so they spread like wildfire through the human population.It eventually will, That is a given, kind of like the flu does, But I don't expect it to any time soon, Maybe we will even have a vaccine by the time it mutates. Giving us a better immunity to it.
I mean, It's Sars, There are like four variants of Sars right now, So, yeah, It's likely to mutate at some point.
We're lucky that this one only kills less than 3.5% of the infected; it could've been much much worse.
