DESCRIPTION:Seasonal influenza virus famously mutates and evolves so fast 
 that it is necessary to update the influenza vaccine for each season. Give
 n the selective advantage of rapid evolution – escape from herd immunity
 \, and the means for it – a high polymerase error rate\, they key questi
 on is hardly why the evolution is so fast\, but rather why it isn’t fast
 er yet\, what is slowing the evolution down. I will present the fitness ex
 change hypothesis as a plausible explanation.\n
