Olpps, you seem a knowledgable poster with a science background so I am not trying to pick a fight here but have to point out comparing a coronavirus to malaria, small pox and HIV is very misleading. I agree mutations do not automatically mean less virulent - delta proved otherwise of course. However, the history of other coronaviruses do show they do not follow the trajectory of small pox or HIV. Malaria is not a virus so we should leave that be. ATB.
For what its worth, i do sense O variant will turn out to be more infectious but milder esp for the vaccinated and this current drama will pass. IMO of course.
