All mutations will occur in all territories irrespective of open or closed borders. It is the nature of the beast. The nect mutaion may render the virus benign forever, or 100% lethal, forever, it may occur in one place, or 5 differnet places. The only closed border that could have worked, was early March 2020. It will spread like it or not. There is no way to stop it. The only option is controlled infection rate to avoid overwhelming health services within a time frame that does not lead to the collapse of the industrialised society. That is why, vaccine or not, cure or not, mutation or not, borders and industries will have to open again and the virus allowed to work it's way through in a controlled fashion - exactly as the flu is managed.
