Each time a person gets infected, that is an opportunity for Covid-19 to mutate. If the world had cracked down on Covid-19 effectively, the way China, Taiwan, South Korea (initially), Australia and New Zealand did, the pandemic would already be over, the deaths would be few, the economic losses would be much less, and this mutation would never have occurred.
