Comment: Now these scientists have found out how to manipulate the virus making it able to jump from human to human. The darned thing just wouldn't do it before, but now they have it figured out. And, of course, then they will be able to give us all of the vaccines that they have been trying to stick us with. They'll get this pandemic thing off the ground one way or another.
