I'm looking at: https://nextstrain.org/ncov What defines a strain? I know about the L/S sub-types, but there have been a great number of splits.

Exactly. Anyway, the topic is that simply getting through the infection doesn't grant immunity so one doesn't have to care about covid-19 anymore.

Plus thinking that when we have few (even if 2) variants of the virus within first 3 months there won't be any more mutations is a bit naive IMHO.
