Professor Robert Dingwall says it is likely the coronavirus will mutate and spread across the world to the point where it becomes a feature of our lives in the long term and as common as flu. In an interview with MyStoryMedia, he revealed: “There is always a risk of mutation. The good news is that is is unusual for viruses to mutate in a way that makes them more lethal rather than less. If a virus kills it’s host too quickly it won’t get passed on which will endanger it’s own survival.”
