Like many, I've been worried about mutations, but I read something the other day that got me more hopeful on that score.
The virus has only a limited number of ways that it can mutate
and still be effective as a virus.
The vast majority of mutations would make the virus less effective. So the number of mutations about which we have to worry is finite. And our scientists have a handle on what those are likely to be and are already working on those vis a vis vaccine adaptations.
