My understanding of COVID 19 codified

After seeing so many news and theories around the virus since several months, this is what I understood and put together as code. Hope it will make few people understand the situation who still dont understand and help them stay safer than what they are today.

This post will be updated further as I learn more about the virus or get newer ideas on codifying it.

from knownViruses import coronaVirus

def currentSituation():
    covid19 = coronaVirus(
                            originalHost        = "Bats",

                            patientZero         = "Unknown",
                            firstSpillOverEvent = "Unknown",
                            virusKnowledge      = "Still don't know fully",
                            vaccineStatus       = "Started",

                        )

    while(covid19.isActiveOnHumans())
    {

        # It's a repeated guidance to wear mask, maintain social distancing and sanitize hands
        # There is a risk of the virus spreading when the load is high enough
        # Additional condition (human.isNotVaccinatedInXMonths()) will be added once we know how long a vaccine will work

        {

        if(covid19.spilledToNewHost())
        {
            newStrain = possibleMutation()

            if newStrain:

    if(covid19.canMutate())

        newStrain = covid19.mutate()
        covid19Strains.append(newStrain)

    # Mutation can possibly make it more infectitous. Whether it will be more deadly or not is still not clear it seems

    if(newStrain.canBeMoreInfectitous())
    {
        newStrain.morePowerful()
    }

    return newStrain
