Wuhan's 'Bat Lady' Warns Of Coming Covid-19 Mutants

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler Durden

Yet, that's what just happened.

According to Chinese state media cited by the South China Morning Post, top CCP virologist Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Virology - also known as "Bat Lady" - says the virus will continue to mutate, and we must prepare to coexist with it.

"As the number of infected cases has just become too big, this allowed the novel coronavirus more opportunities to mutate and select. New variants will continue to emerge," said Shi, whose lab was working with a US-Funded nonprofit to make bat coronaviruses more infectious to humans.

Aside from the obvious value in having 'Wuhan's Bat Lady™' opine on emerging strains of the virus she's an expert in - note that she doesn't discuss how much more or less deadly new strains could be.

For example, there's no evidence that the Delta strain - while much more virulent than the original Alpha strain of Covid-19, is any deadlier.
