re: The next covid variant will be more contagious than Omicron

Viruses mutate to become both more milder or severe, so to say it always happens, so it will happen here is false.
It's is beneficial to a virus' survival to become more infectious and less severe and you see that in pandemics/epidemics because of the nature of a pandemic. It needs to spread. However, there is nothing that says a localized strain couldn't mutate to a more infectious and severe variety.

i mean ive been pretty anti covid on this board
but omicron was more contagious and virulent than both delta and the OG strain
it also caused more hospitalizations
the death toll also appears to be on the upslope
now they could be manipulating all of this data or whatever, but the current situation doesnt seem too great to me
and if these variants are escaping immunity that quickly we will never keep up with them with jabs
