Currently, Covid-19 is stable enough not to cause problems for the creators of vaccines and drugs, as well as for diagnosis. This was what the virologist from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Prof. Radostina Alexandrova commented for the Bulgarian National Radio (BNR). 

The situation is calm, the variability of the virus is twice as slow as that of the flu virus, said Prof. Alexandrova. 
There is evidence that changes in human genes may predetermine a more severe clinical scenario, she said. According to the virologist, this could explain why young and healthy people end up in intensive care units. 
Regarding a future vaccine, Prof. Alexandrova stressed that it is uncertain whether we will have a reliable vaccine in the coming months or years. That's why scientists around the world are cautious, she added.
