Sometimes I Wonder ...

... if a large portion of the population contracts the highly transmissible Omicron variant of the plague & therefore the number of viruses in existence increases by the literal zillions, how long will it take the virus to mutate to a variant w/ its previous mortality rate? If not even deadlier, fingers crossed. Too much to hope it would stay highly transmissible? 

Granted, not the best survival strategy for an eater, but evolution often doesn't know it's headed off the cliff 'til it's in mid-air.

  1. Look on the bright side: even if most Americans don't get omicron, most American white-tailed deer will, and the virus can mutate in that reservoir!
