So far, there are 6 strains of it, and the original Wuhan strain is gradually disappearing. That would make the President technically correct (the best kind of correct), and eventually historians will have to dial back their Lie-O-Meter a notch. Luckily, it mutates a lot less than the flu and apparently its mutations are less far apart from each other as well, so a vaccine has a better shot at being right.

Because they're not pretty snowflakes, they're ninjas! Like the NH police chief who got himself killed in 2012 because he just had to get in one last raid before retiring (steroids- let's get out the SWAT gear!). Actual police work isn't as cool as dressing up and pretending you're in a movie, but that's what too many of them want to do. It's not their fault: police academies apparently spend almost 14x as much time on guns and fighting skills than on conflict management.
