So is this then the 'same' virus?  Have to admit that I am struggling to 
understand how what I understand to be a very basic form of life can mutate 
so much, yet still be known by the same name.  This is perhaps a classic 
case of us mere mortals not fully understanding what the 'scientists' are 
telling us.
