>>13901967>Why has the COVID-19 virus mutated so rapidlyAll viruses mutate. It's just that the majority of mutations is usually pointless/doesn't make the virus more severe.
But CV is infecting a LOT more people than usual viruses, and every time someone gets infected, it adds a chance a mutation will take place.
Also other viruses like the flu DO mutate a lot, which is why the flu shot you get every year is different from the one the past year.
