meaning they will always be at least one step ahead.

If the modus operandi of a virus is just to spread, then killing its hosts is a definite no-no.

Happy New Year and stay safe.

2. It is so infectious that only a full lockdown that people obey is going to stop it.

3. On the plus side, there is no published evidence that it's more dangerous. (Yet.)
