"What began as an airborne pandemic driven by a single virus has become a viral
cloud roiling around the globe thanks to public policies that have allowed
unfettered transmission.
As a consequence the pandemic now represents different threats in different
regions for different classes of people at different times. The wealthy elite
attending Davos may be protected by tests and clean air machines, but the rest
of us face contrasting realities.
Some virologists have argued that people shouldn’t be concerned by these
evolutionary doings, and that the messy world of Omicron subvariants is better
left to the experts.
But that’s a patronizing attitude. The pandemic affects us all, demanding
citizens make decisions individually and together. So the point is not to be
complacent or alarmed, but curious and attentive. We have entered an epoch of
biological volatility and the risks this entails demand constant vigilance.
Here are six observations on viral evolution and how it may shape our lives in
this, the fourth year of the pandemic."
