While SARS-CoV-2 has mutation baked into it’s replication cycle, the mechanism of mutation is rudimentary in comparison to influenza. This makes not wearing protection exponentially dumber in this scenario. Virologist estimate it’ll only take ~10 direct human infections from chickens or cows until the virus is ready for human to human transmission. We already got one on the books from a dairy farm at the end of March. The infections which occur prior to the virus adapting to humans are brutal too, as it attaches to the α2:3 receptor, which are only found deep in the human lung. Thus the wild mortality rate with these infections until the tropism shifts to α2:6, which are found thorough out our respiratory tract…
