Interpreting the Evolution of SARS-CoV-2

https://slides.com/jbloom/interpreting-sars-cov-2-evolution
This week's speaker is Jesse Bloom, an HHMI Investigator and associate professor in the Basic Sciences Division and in the Public Health Sciences Division at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
Bloom studies evolution using viruses and viral proteins as models. Focusing on the influenza virus, he aims to understand how mutations in viral genes shape the pathogen’s ability to infect and spread. He uses computational biology and real-world data to build evolutionary models and examine different scales of viral evolution, from evolution within a single host to evolution on a global scale. In doing so, Bloom addresses both fundamental and translational questions, including those with relevance to developing more effective seasonal flu vaccines.
Conclusion: get every year new "busters" just as you do for influenza, or just consider it a flu and get over it the old fashion way.
