#Covid
#StopContagion

Here are four possible #scenarios, each taken from the known evolutionary playbook of #coronaviruses:

1.A slide toward endemicity

2.Altered disease and symptoms

"In humans, SARS-CoV-2 has been found in the #intestine, #kidney, and central #nervous system. A new SARS-CoV-2 variant with redirected preference for new organs (organ tropism) could produce new Covid-19 signs and symptoms."

3.Emergence of a new recombinant coronavirus

4.Exploitation of antibodies

"In this worrisome scenario, SARS-CoV-2 evolves to not only evade its human host’s immune response but to actively exploit it. The successive major variants of SARS-CoV-2 so far show that the evolution of the virus helps evade the #immune system. But some coronaviruses take evasion to the level of exploitation."
