Like all living things, coronavirus will evolve and mutate, but that's not necessarily something to be feared. While the virus that causes COVID-19 is dangerous and deadly, if history is anything to go by, any mutations may calm it down a bit. In fact, a mutation might be in the interests of both humans and the virus. On today's episode: * When does it turn from a blip in cases into a second wave? * What should I do if someone needs CPR? * Why might SARS-COV-2 turn into a more "gentle" virus? * Is the virus blood type specific? And Norman has a very interesting piece of research from France. The research found a patient who had the SARS-COV-2 virus in December - a month before the country's first reported case. And the patient had no travel history to China.
