Are lockdowns justified?

[Anomalocaris]

Did small pox disappear naturally?  What would make you think that as long as a virus/germ/bacteria has a host it will just magically disappear?

Really not the same thing. Again, smallpox is a DNA virus, so it is not nearly as prone to mutation. Furthermore, smallpox had very closely related viruses with which it could presumably (I haven't checked it) mate (cowpox...) to reduce the impact of those mutations. No virus closely related to COVID-19 attacks humans so that COVID-19 can mate with it.

What comes to mind is yours and his ignorance of science.

So, if you are less ignorant of science, answer my question. Why didn't COVID-19 die from inbreeding after jumping from bats to humans?

Virus reproduce in a manner of speaking, but they don’t breed.  Hence they don’t in-breed.    They are not like you or Donald trump.

Also, inbreeding would potentially be a problem amongst breeders only if the genome is larger than a certain size and carry different versions of genes for many different proteins, and potential for certain genes to be expressed or repressed,   Organisms with very simple genomes wouldn’t have the room to suffer harmful effects from inbreeding.    So I doubt inbreeding can do yours or The Donald ‘s line much harm.
