thinking about mutation

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kawasaki, 2020.05.08

I've been reading about SARS2 mutations. It's occurred to me that every infected human host presents a chance for mutation. If so, by containing the outbreak we're not just containing today's virus we're preventing the development of more variants.

What amazing and crazy new things come to mind in this wonderful year of ours.

I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.

—Terry Pratchett (as Lord Vetinari)
