With all the information provided and testable so far, the poor and the weak, as well as the well to do and the rich, are being tricked and oppressed more and more.

Yes, that's generally true in many ways, such as by advertisements, memes with false premises, political talking point falsehoods, and more. (any more on that would be a different thread, so I'll leave it at that here in this thread)

Such as the NBA suspending its season, or cancellations of all public events with crowds above 100 or even all public events period like Italy.
The second Utah Jazz NBA player has been diagnosed with the C-virus.

Even the title of the thread is contributing to the oppression.... so it is on topic.
The official positions of most moneyed enterprises, including political and medical
are steadily oppressing more and more - otherwise, this 'new news' so-called worry over a single virus would not even have raised an eyebrown.....

because they really do not want to have to do it the other way where millions or billions get it and you either live or die, but either way will only get it ONE time.

Unless it mutates like the flu. Then you could be at risk every year, or even once every few weeks, if the mutation rate is higher.

OR, strengthen the immune system, and avoid foods that there is an allergy to, avoid liquids that cause weakness, so the body as God created can do what God created it to do. (as noted young and healthy persons are near zero risk) (make it so as much as possible for others too) (as has been done repeatedly, but not often utilized)

You don't believe it until you see it? Ok, I can sympathize with that often.

But here, for this virus, I can believe this is potentially dangerous for the U.S. before I see it. I can believe Italy's already 820+ deaths of 12,400+ found cases, that ~ 6% death rate (of discovered cases, which is less than all cases)....

So, I'm not in agreement it's not even worth a worry to raise an eyebrow. We want to be successful enough so that that becomes the case. We haven't gotten there yet.

It won't (and isn't) mutating that fast.

To do what is best for everyone, is required by Yahweh according to His Word.
Especially for the poor , also as written.
The many anti-christs spoken of in Scripture are not being silent somewhere - they are not secluded away out of the public eye. They , as written in Ephesians 2, with the prince of the power of the air, directly or indirectly make people subjects to the enemy, not free from him.

When people discover the truth, they no longer are afraid. Some that you mention are right to be afraid, not just of the virus, but of the handling of it too, the government and drug makers use of it, which is not for good results.

The government led us into wwI an wwII and vietnam, right ? How many died needlessly ? between 1970and 2000 , how many servicemen (of all ranks) disserted because of the lies they were told ? Because they found they were not helping anyone ? a huge number went awol.... they refused to kill or wipe out villages any more, and they were not even prosecuted for going awol - the government wanted to keep it quiet, just like today with government and drug makers ....

but I digress..... keep seeking the truth about all of this - it was known when Scripture was written , and it was known before 1950, and it is still known....

Ok, that's several other topics than this narrow thread about how the virus spreads and how to counteract it, so I won't try to address those other topics here, though I did post in your other thread in case you wish to discuss that post over there.

It's not going to mutate so fast that it will evade immunity in a matter of weeks. No other virus does that.

Could it become endemic though? Or is that not as likely given the current response to mitigate it?

I see no reason that it couldn't become endemic. Meaning that a vaccine is going to be an ongoing need.
