Average time cycling of mutant virus waves10 Mar 2022 20:19
The historical global wave nature of mutant variants establishing themselves appears to be around every 4 to 6 months between peaks tracing back since the ground zero China incident.
Now, my theory is as follows;
1. Mutation creation is a direct correlation with number of infections given same probability chance of mutation rate for each person infected
2. There is a seasonal effect but globally does not seem to be that significant or overwhelming ( eg still get peaks in summer)
3. The increased case rate globally now with higher transmission rate probably means a reduced time for new virulent mutations to be created with a compressed time between peaks and troughs !!
So next viral peak probably will be here in around 3 to 4 months. Could be longer , could be shorter but that's my best guess.
