Also, what worry me, is what happen when these new strains from different places recombines.
As far as we know, we don’t have evidence that indicates that recombination is likely. It’s a virus and not a bacteria that can simply exchange plasmids.
But for the flu virus reassortment (more correct word here) is happening from time to time, when two viruses infect the same cell and exchange genes.
