This is why I refuse to buy certain things via online purchases. For a phone, I walk right into that Apple Store and purchase first hand. While OP might not have that option, which I can understand, somethings I don't chance.

/u/i__jump I'm sure you've already gotten great advice here. Best of luck to getting a replacement.

I'm very much ok.

I'm still trying to understand how you think that if people were vaxxed it would/could stop Covid from fusing with any random virus. Even if Alpha was the only strain/mutation/variant still there is/was nothing stopping it from doing what this article mentions. Even if everyone was vaxxed, it doesn't entirely stop the spread of the disease.

Dude.....why are you bringing up Covid mutations/variants to begin with?

Per the article:

> Two common respiratory viruses can fuse to form a hybrid virus capable of evading the human immune system, and infecting lung cells – the first time such viral cooperation has ever been observed.

What does this have to due with Covid? Stay on top Comrade.

Covid VARIANTS are combining in some instances yes. But to my knowledge and I’m assuming other scientists knowledge, Covid has never combined with another type of virus like Influenza.

So how is this an anti-vaxxer or unvaccinated persons fault for RSV and Influenza combing like the article mentioned? Mind you, RSV and Influenza are two different types of viruses with similar symptoms.
