However, what I really think has happened, and I mentioned this back in the late summer, is that the virus has attenuated. I think most do over time. It's really simple. If you are sick with symptoms, you tend to isolate, and therefor don't spread that variant. If you are sick without symptoms, you will tend to not isolate as much and therefor spread more of that more mild variant. Ultimately, the less severe variant outcompetes the more severe variant for hosts.

Eh, I dunno. I was super sick right after the SB for like 2 weeks. Symptomatically it was very COvid like, but I just dunno if it was that widespread then. As we've seen when it does blow up, hospitalizations and deaths happen. They weren't prevalent then or atleast as much.
So while I hoped that's what I had, I'm skeptical.
With the genetic stuff they've done on it I don't think we've had that happen
