1. This is not surprising.

The seasonal flu virus does the same.

It's evolution at work, but not in a form we like.
Every reproductive event for the virus has a very small potential for genetic variation, most will be harmful for the virus, but the odd one will turn it into a super bug.

Some cases of the Delta strain here in Australia. Just walking past someone with it is enough to catch it.
Exposure time is minimal. Just breathe in at the wrong moment.

Vaccination is the answer, and a slow one. But the only one.
Reduce the human incubator breeding pool for the virus.

Eventually, the virus will be reduced to the level of the flu, get your annual flu/COVID jab, and be relatively safe.
