So the good news with the mutations is that there can only be so many mutations in the spike protein before it mutates itself out of being able to bind to human cells

asked a friend about this saying there will be mutations to it that render it useless in humans. But those variants won't be transmitted obviously. We'll still be spreading the other ones.

An outbreak of common colds at an Antarctic base after seventeen weeks of complete isolation T. R. Allen, A. F. Bradburne, E. J. Stott, C. S. Goodwin, and D. A. J. Tyrrell INTRODUCTION It has commonly been believed that on small Antarctic bases, isolated for many months, upper respiratory infections die out during the first few weeks of isolation and that the men are virtually symptom-free for the rest of the isolation period. With the arrival of the relief ship or aircraft, outbreaks of respiratory disease have been noted to occur (Taylor, 1960; Siple, 1960; Hedblom, 1961; Cameron & Moore, 1968; Holmes, Allen, Bradburne & Stott, 1971). This has tended to follow the pattern seen in other isolated communities (Paul & Freese, 1933; Shibli, Gooch, Lewis & Tyrrell, 1971). Several studies of upper respiratory disease in men at isolated Antarctic stations have been undertaken. Sera obtained from the McMurdo Sound wintering party of 1958 were tested for the presence of antibodies to a number of respiratory viruses, but not including rhinoviruses, and showed no evidence of infection with any of the viral antigens tested (Chanock, R. M., quoted by Cameron & Moore, 1968). A systematic study of monthly serum specimens collected from the members of the South African National Antarctic Expeditions in 1961-62 showed no evidence of new virus infection (J. H. S. Gear, quoted by Cameron & Moore, 1968). In their 1968 study of the epidemiology of respiratory infections at Mawson, an Australian Antarctic Research Expedition station, Cameron & Moore (1968) made observations on infective diseases during the period of isolation, and found no diagnostic rises in antibody titre against influenza viruses A and B, mumps, adenovirus, herpes simplex and ornithosis. All attempts at virus isolation from throat, nose and faeces swabs were unsuccessful. * The apparent absence of respiratory infections for long periods during isolation in Antarctica has provided opportunity for basic epidemiological study, and T. R. ALLEN AND OTHERS experimental inoculation of volunteers using easily traced viruses was started in 1968 with interesting results (Holmes et al. 1971). Further study along these lines was contemplated for the winter of 1969 at Adelaide Island Base, one of the British Antarctic Survey stations. During the preliminary observation period, after 17 weeks of isolation, upper respiratory symptoms occurred in one man and then spread to half the Base complement over the next week in the manner of an infectious disease. No virus had been artificially introduced at this time, and the outbreak was unexpected. Clinical records were kept, samples of serum and nasal washings were taken for analysis in the United Kingdom, and possible enviionmental factors were noted. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/art...00082-0026.pdf |

Luckily the hospitalizations aren't quite tracking the cases like they did last year, likely due to the age group.
Hopefully it stays that way, although I will say there are quite a few young hospitalizations here in our area. |

You just summarized my take on a pandemic off of a 4 word post.
People don't tell you when your getting fat, people don't tell you when you're ugly. But I will tell YOU that your clueless to who you're speaking to and you are dumb. Now work the fry station. |
