They already are, you just don't understand, they mutate all the time.
Maybe we can stop this one before it mutates into a fast mutator like
the flu or some more deadly strain. It is a whole different class of
virus fromt he flu.


Maybe??? Let people live their lives while the people who create the
meds work on it. You don't quarantine HEALTHY people - you quarantine
sick people.

Whatever, I don't care, you are deflecting. It remains that they
already mutate all the time - there is no waiting for a new one to go
in the wild before a vaccine is available as it is an ongoing process.
There are already new mutants out there.

Not mutating like the flu, at least not yet.
