The cold mutates too. Several times in a season I believe. The point is that its something we need to be concerned about but we dont need to panic people. Putting out bad information can get people killed.Dr. Jahrling, who has worked with ebola for decades, says that airborne is generally less infectious anyway. He says what is frightening is that the virus appears to have mutated to carry a heavier viral load.
The point is, it mutates. It's exceedingly virulent, it's exceedingly deadly. He is guarded but thinks it will sink back down into the animal population again (as it has in the past, this is what I think as well). If it doesn't mutate into something else. Which it can. But he knows it can do a lot of damage before it does.
BTW, it always comes from the animal population and he says it's coming from several different routes.
