That was my initial reaction when I saw the post, but then I realized how often very knowledgeable and level-headed people share and discuss very deep topics on HN. It's possible there has been less of this as HN has grown in the last few years, (I'm more than a decade old on here), but there are definitely people who understand this topic very deeply. Even software engineers. People who don't get all they know from 30 second news snippets.

Good thing this isn’t a forum for software engineers.

I was hoping to hear from bio hackers

I'm a biohacker.

I have no idea how concerned you should be.

I've been staying out of such conversations. I have enough trouble getting taken seriously.

Biohackers aren't omniscient. This really sounds like you are hoping to hear from con artists and charlatans just to get some kind of reassurance.

I don't think that's a good thing to hope for, much less ask for.

It's a crap-shoot, We and other infection able animals are mere in vevo 'petri dishes' for the RNA which is highly mutable.

'An infinite number of Monkeys, with an infinite number of typewriters', So it is a Chance and Probability game.

Infinite Monkey theorem - Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA

The hypothesis that 'as viruses mutate they become more infectious but less deadly',

and wildfires will burn themselves out, only work when there is limited fuel, i.e. small communities with limited travel,

hence the lock-down/lock-out option is prudent at this time.
