has heard from a leading evolutionary biologist who's conducted extensive studies into the virus he explains how it mutates and how outbreaks can be dealt with you can catch the full interview on our website here is a quick preview. i think it's a blessing that corona virus is evolve more slowly than other r.n.a. viruses but still it's a very quick process the virus mutates every 2 weeks but in one specific lineage what is a specific lineage well thus infects mush mush infects pets or pets infects tanya in such a lineage the virus mutates once but at the same time a similar process is taking place across the globe since different viruses acquire different mutations in total we see tens of thousands of mutations we can already see approximately 20000 me taishan once. that is 20000 versions of the same corona

virus that is believed to have her originated and one where. we now see that the common ancestor was around in december or january the genomes of all the corona virus is we are sequencing and studying right now show that they are all descended from one common ancestor which existed back then so it seems to me very unlikely that the virus infected a person before that time. so. there is a widespread belief that the virus does not exist in order to kill the owner but in order to somehow perfectly adapt to it and live quietly inside them. actually this is not what the virus cares about most we know a huge number of examples one of our success didn't put play sions for many many is many centuries and did not weaken smallpox for example measles which is fatal in a large proportion of cases if there is no treatment but generally it often happens
