China right now. >> the mathematics is simple, right? the more this virus can spread, the more chance it has of mutating. if its spreading this fast among so many people, the chances of some kind of doomsday virus, or variant, it goes up. >> i hope we will never see that. the point i guess to add to what you made john, theres a lot of immunocompromised people in china, as in the rest of the world. when an infection occurs in one of those individuals, it could go through an accelerated mutation, ...
