So I read through the article, and, yeah: the SARS-CoV-2 virus has mutated into less severe/deadly forms; this is what viruses do, ala the Spanish Flu. What I did not see was any evidence supporting the "Pundits disappointed" claim in the article title. I go to Hot Air blog daily and sometimes several times a day. If Hot Air is going to devolve into clickbaiting - lurid headlines unsupported by the articles - I'm outa there.
