1. mutation rates vary by conditions, for both viri & bacteria. 2. infectious mutations tend to go in the direction of lesser harm (otherwise they kill the hosts too fast to spread). 3. if present-day flu vaccines are ineffective, why are they recommended for certain populations & why are we being told tamiflu is effective v. this virus?
