COVID19 mutated twice already. Both into less lethal forms. The original Wuhan L strain was very lethal and likely very dangerous, but it stayed in Wuhan. The S strain spread around Asia heavily and likely was what wrecked Iran and Italy, but was less dangerous. But in Italy a C strain emerged and that strain appears much less lethal. That is the strain in the US and Europe.

This was the natural course of a virus that was discussed at the start. Trump shut down the more dangerous strains from hitting America. Now it's more likely that the C strain or a future even less dangerous strain becomes a regular common cold strain. So now a Trump rally is like a chicken pox party.

Interesting. Got any solid references for this?

Worst case scenario: [DS] releases L strain at a Trump rally.

L strain won't matter soon. C stain spreads faster and gives immunity or resistance to all three after infection. The highest risk of infection population have likely been infected enough to slow down any reinfection. There was a study in LA that found 5% of the population had anti-bodies. So at most if L strain came back, it would kill a few hundred and burn out.

Here is a article that discusses the three strains. It lists them as A, B, C. But A = L and B = S. If you search for the strains you can find other sources easily.
