    The only way out is a Universal Corona vaccine or an anti-viral drug that works across the variants.
    Unlike with SARS this time we were not so lucky. With SARS there was a 29 nucleotide deletion in ORF8 which made the virus more virulent, but at the same time it lost the ability to infect humans - this made the virus drop out.
    The mutations this time seems to increase infectivity. :(
