All strains and all variants are mutations. You said there's no evidence of mutations...

The only difference between a variant and a strain is that a variant is a mutation that doesn't seem to have any behavioral effect on the function of the virus, whereas a strain has some sort of behavior different from the strain it mutated away from.
I'd answer that question... But there's to be no politics in this thread :57:
I meant that there is no evidence that the virus is changing like the flu does. I clearly got my terminology mixed up. The point remains the same. The vaccines are effective still. I don't think that will change.

Maybe.  Bwar agrees with you in general principle, that it's not changing quickly like the flu, and that this will make all the difference.  And y'all are both smart guys.

But it has absolutely mutated in ways that make it either more infectious, or more destructive to human cells, or both.  The evidence is clear on that.

So far, the virus doesn't appear to have mutated in a way that evades the protections triggered by the vaccines we've designed against it.

I'm certainly hopeful this holds true.

You know full well that when you're talking with engineers you'd better get your terminology right :57:

But yeah, on that point I hope it won't change to the point at which the vaccines become ineffective, and that if it does, I don't believe it's going to start changing annually like the flu...

A "terminology mixologist" sounds like an important job one should look into becoming.

I am too old (64) to be eligible for the vaccine in Iowa.  That changes on April 5. But in my county we have been allocated too few vaccines. The county directly north with similar population was allocated double our vaccines.

Mom and dad in their late 80s are returning to Iowa, from Tucson, after a one-year reclusive isolation, for our summer reunion, the 1st time in 2-summers. They will be ages 88 and 87 upon arrival and they are healthy and vital. I was down there in December/January, and February/March. We met outdoors. Our country, our parents, your grandparents, are coming back!

Wait, too old is a thing for this?

Ya outside of those in HC,Schools or 1st responders I thought the over 60-65 group got 1st dibs.On the bright side you've been deemed low risk - evidently.

It's state-dependent.  In Texas the first priorty cutoff was 60 and older, plus healthcare workers, first responders and some others.  Next group was 50 and older.  Then on 3/29, it was opened to everyone.

Also, not sure how it works in Iowa but in Texas you can get the shot in any county, and some people are driving several counties over when they find appointments available.  Good luck!

I ended up in a different county in Florida, but 3 days later I got the call from my own county. I registered in 6 counties total. First one to call wins. I drove 7 miles to get my shot. It would have been 20 miles in my own county.

I got stuck in the middle of this week. Three days of soreness at the injection spot, and really low end muscle aches when I tried to work out or otherwise exercise.

And a damn 3-week wait.
